Many leaking showers attended to by shower Repairs Plus technicians are a direct result of a leaking joint within the breaching piece or body washer (as looked at in our Tap service Guide).
A pressure drop is easy to observe when using water due to the fact that water does not compress, so any loss in volume will show itself quickly as a loss in pressure. Since the pressure gauge will show an inaccurate reading when water is flowing, turn the valve handle to the off position, and check pressure. If the line holds pressure there is not a problem leak in the section you are testing. If pressure does drop, check all connections are secure, and test again to confirm leak. Turn valve off and release any pressure after this test is complete.
