As a licensed plumber, I recommend assessing the severity of the leak by checking the size, location, and potential cause of the leak. Minor leaks that are small, easily accessible, and caused by loose fittings or worn washers can often be fixed by homeowners. However, if the leak is large, hidden behind walls or floors, or caused by a more serious issue such as a burst pipe or corroded plumbing, it is best to seek professional repair services to prevent further damage and ensure proper repairs.

To prevent mold and mildew growth in your shower after a repair, make sure to properly ventilate the area by using an exhaust fan or opening a window. Wipe down the shower walls and surfaces regularly to remove excess moisture. Consider using a squeegee to remove water after each use. Additionally, using a mold-resistant caulk and grout can help prevent mold growth in the long term.

As a licensed plumber, I take several measures to minimize disruptions to your daily routine while performing plumbing services in your home. This includes scheduling appointments at a convenient time for you, communicating clearly about the work that needs to be done, working efficiently to complete the job in a timely manner, and cleaning up after the work is finished to leave your home in the same condition as when I arrived.
