Do you know that a small showerhead leak can waste more than five hundred gallons of water per year? Our Douglas and Otter Tail Counties team is trained and certified to provide water damage restoration services by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). Here is some information and tips for Garfield residents from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for repairing a showerhead leak.

• A showerhead leaking at ten drips per minute wastes more than five hundred gallons per year. That’s the amount of water it takes to wash sixty loads of dishes in your dishwasher.
• Some leaky showerheads can be fixed by making sure there is a tight connection between the showerhead and the pipe stem and by using pipe tape to secure it
• Pipe tape, also called Teflon tape, is available at most hardware stores, is easy to apply, and can help control leaks
• For more complicated valve leaks in showers that drip when not in use, contact an experienced handyperson or licensed plumber
