Judi\\u2019s shower head is leaking? What can she do?

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

She\\u2019s got a single handle shower faucet.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

The solution is very simple but I do have some great suggestions.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

If you know the name brand of the faucet you should call the manufacturer and request new parts for free. Typically good companies like Delta, Moen, Kohler and American Standard warranty new parts.

\\n

\\n

Shower cartridges can be $35 on up. So it\\u2019s worth calling the company.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

If your shower has rubber seats and metal springs you should replace those along with the cartridge. This will ensure the leak won\\u2019t come back for some time.

Today\\u2019s Quick Tip is about the Franklin Sensor.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

This is the best stud finder I ever used.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Amazon has 1670 reviews on this tool and 89% of them are 4 or 5 stars!!

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

I found the Franklin Sensor easy to use and super accurate.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Occasionally we give away tools and supplies over on Home Repair Tutor.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

I\\u2019m so impressed with the Franklin Sensor that I\\u2019m giving one away.
