Just bought a home and 48 hrs after movering in the shower head leaks. How do I fix it?
It is just a shower there is no tub with it.

Hi Saralee:

The shower head is not going to be the issue here... the SHOWER VALVE is the culprit.. ;)

Is there a name on the shower valve.. How many handles at the shower valve?

Seems most likely that will need to get into the valve and replace a defective washer or cartridge assembly.

Get back to me with more info.. see what we can come up with... MARK

Also, note.. may be worth a call to your real estate agent to see if they can get a plumber out to fix this... most will, especially just 48 hrs. post purchase!
