Need help with leaking shower
I am starting to slowly lose it here and I'm not sure what else to do before calling a plumber which I don't want to spend the money on. My shower head was leaking for a long time and was causing a drain fly issue. We were trying everything to get rid of drain flies and realized a leaky shower would cause it. Replaced the shower head. Still leaking. Removed the shower arm and wrapped it. Still leaking. Replaced the cartridge. Now the shower head doesn't leak anymore. But now there is a slow leak from the shower handle. We have mostly gotten rid of the drain flies but are afraid this leaking handle could encourage them to return. Any advice on what to do here. The only other thing I can see is replacing the valve in the wall but that's not something I'd be able to do. submitted by /u/IAmAlligatorBlood [link] [comments]
