If when you turn the shower off water still drips from the shower head like a dripping tap can this be easily fixed?

Does the shower drip constantly over a period of 4-5 hours, if not, it's water holding in the shower head which has a water saving feature that holds water in the head. If it drips constantly, you'll need to change your seals on your stems. It's fairly simple if you have the correct tools.

What causes minimal water flow from a shower?

Usually clogged shower heads. Turn water off and shower off. Screw shower nozzle off by hand or with pipe wrench. Turn water and shower on with nozzle head off if water flows clean or replace nozzle. If water pressure is still too low with nozzle off check shut off valve and open valve more. Make sure main water shut off for your house is open enough to allow adequate water pressure.


Why would there be water on main level but no water on second level?

Do you mean water leak or water pressure at the faucet? If you are not getting water thru the pipes you may have low pressure, or there is some blockage in the pipes preventing the water from flowing. Lots of times dirt gets in the small holes in the shower head and the sinks faucet (right where the water comes out). You will need to turn the water off in the basin or the shower. Next, take a pair of pliers and remove the shower head, or the basin's spout head. Look in the piece you removed. Is there dirt in it? Clean it or replace the part. Turn the water back on. Hopefully it was only debris blocking your water flow. The entire faucet will not have to be removed. Only unscrew the spout's aerator head., or the showere head.


Why do i hear whine noise from hot water lines at hot water heater when taking shower?

How can you increase the hot water pressure in your bathtub?

If the pressure problem is in the shower try removing the shower head but leave the shower arm in place. Then turn the water on and see if you have a good flow of water with no shower head in place. Sometimes the shower head gets clogged with a mineral deposit which needs to be disloved with something like CLR (brand name). Some bath faucets have a screen which can be unscrewed and cleaned as well but his is rare. If thhese checks do not help you will probably need a plumber to check if there is anything that can be done such as replacing pipes which may be clogged with deposts.
