Before calling a plumber for a shower issue, try these simple checks: clean the showerhead by soaking it in vinegar to remove mineral buildup, check the diverter and handle for looseness, look for visible leaks at the valve trim, and verify the supply shutoff valves are fully open. Many issues clear up with one of these.
Quick checks
- Soak shower head in vinegar overnight to clear mineral buildup
- Check that the diverter is fully engaged
- Look at the valve trim for leaks or looseness
- Verify supply shutoffs are fully open
