How it works
Remove the old head
We use the right tools to unthread the old showerhead without stripping or cracking the shower arm, clearing any scale buildup on the threads.
Prep and install
We wrap the arm threads with new Teflon tape and hand-tighten, then snug the new head into the correct angle.
Test for leaks
We run the shower through all spray settings and check the connection for drips, confirming it's sealed before we leave.
Problems we fix
- Low water pressure caused by a clogged or mineral-laden old head
- Drip at the connection because threads weren't properly taped
- Shower arm cross-threaded or cracked during a DIY removal attempt
- Outdated fixed head replaced by a homeowner-selected handheld or rainfall model
- Hard water deposits making the old head impossible to clean effectively
Showerhead Replacement in Columbia — FAQ
Do I need to turn off the water to replace a showerhead?
No — unlike a faucet, the shower arm has no isolation valve, but the water only flows when the valve is open. We replace the head with the valve closed, which is easy and clean.
Can you install a rain showerhead on a standard arm?
Most rainfall heads thread directly onto a standard half-inch arm. If yours needs an angled arm or extension, that's a quick add-on we can do at the same visit.
What if the arm is corroded or stripped?
We stock standard shower arms. If yours is corroded or stripped, replacing it at the same time is inexpensive and prevents a future leak.
Showerhead Replacement across Columbia
Columbia's long, hot, humid summers are hard on homes — HVAC strain, swollen doors, deck and fence wear, and moisture around windows and caulk are all common. Older in-town neighborhoods bring hardwood floors, plaster and original millwork, while the Northeast and the Lake Murray side add newer builds with their own needs. Our pros are comfortable with both.
