Plumbing Question [View All]

[Coyote_Bandit]

I have a shower stall with separate hot and cold water on/off handles. And I have a drip from the showerhead.

About a month or so ago a guest commented that they thought I had a bit of air in the pipes in that shower stall. Apparently, they thought that because when the water was first turned on it did not start in an even stream. The water flow was a bit uneven and "jerky" (for lack of a better description) when first turned on.

This leak seems like it is something I should be able to fix myself and since money is tight I'd really prefer not to have to spend a couple hundred bucks to have a plumber come if I can avoid it.

I assume the first thing to do is to take the showerhead off and make sure the washer there is in good shape. Beyond that?

Is this something I can fix myself? Or should I just go ahead and call a plumber? WOuld it be possible to find a handyman that does these kinds of plumbing repairs without charging a small fortune?

Your advice please.....Thanks in advance.
