    Shower leak from wall
    I have a problem relating to my shower. I have a leak coming from where the shower head goes into the wall. At first I thought it was just a problem from the shower head, but after I removed it, there is still a leak. The pipe the shower head connects to has water continually running out of it. Does anyone know what is wrong with it or how it can be fixed?

    Any replies will be helpful!

    Inside the wall where the shower head pipe is , there is a peace that is either plastic or brass it!s where the riser pipe comeing up from your faucet attatches to (unless you have copper lines) IT will be quite a job to repair, Iwould say to call a reliable plumber . I could tell you step by step . Callplumber don!t wait to long , because the longer you wait the more water damage will be done ::"

    Are you saying that the pipe leaks even with the shower head removed? I don't believe I have ever seen a leak like this. Have you tried to tighten the tail piece with a web wrench?

    Try to reinstall that pipe which holds shower head, put some teflon tape and check threads of that pipe for cracks
