Welcome to Right There Plumbing!
A slow drip in the tub might not seem like an emergency, but small leaks add up. In fact, a steady drip of about 1-drip-per-second…that adds up to 2,000 gallons over a year (which is over 8 tons of water down the drain). We recently helped a homeowner in Springfield tackle a constant tub/shower leak before it created bigger headaches.
Customer Issue
The homeowner noticed their bathtub faucet was dripping constantly. Even when turned off tight, it kept steady drop after drop—wasting water and driving up the utility bill (and probably causing stains on the tub).
What We Did
Our technicians identified a failed internal shower cartridge. They shut down the water line, removed the worn cartridge, and installed a new replacement.
Result
The drip stopped instantly, water pressure restored to normal, controls operated smoothly, and the fixture was fully sealed.
Why It Matters
Shower valves rely on precision rubber seals and brass tolerances. Over time, mineral buildup wears these components down. Ignoring a drip can waste over 2,000 gallons of water a year and risk hidden behind-the-wall leaks that could rot subflooring. Trusting a licensed plumber ensures correct part matching and proper torque, keeping your plumbing safe and watertight long-term.
