Maintain shower plumbing by cleaning the showerhead monthly to clear mineral buildup, replacing aging supply lines every 8–10 years, having the valve inspected during plumbing checkups, keeping pressure in the 50–70 PSI range, and addressing any drips quickly before they escalate to behind-wall leaks.
