What the customer called about
We visited a home in Catoosa, ZIP code 74015, for a dripping shower, a leaking outdoor hydrant and a toilet hose that came loose during flushing. The homeowner also wanted us to check the kitchen faucet sprayer.
The showerhead had already been replaced, but the dripping had continued.
What our plumber found
We identified the Delta 1400 Series shower cartridge as the source of the drip. It was allowing water through even with the shower turned off. The homeowner preferred repairing the outdoor hydrant rather than replacing it.
The toilet's refill hose would randomly come off and spray water inside the tank. At the kitchen sink, the concern was with the sprayer head rather than a leaking faucet handle or body.
How we fixed it
We replaced the shower cartridge. For the outdoor hydrant, we shut off the water, removed the stem and replaced the washer. We applied silicone grease to the back of the washer and reinstalled the stem.
We also replaced the toilet's loose hose with a spare from our van. We advised the homeowner to contact the kitchen faucet manufacturer about a replacement sprayer head. We did not replace the kitchen faucet.
What this means for your home
A dripping showerhead does not always mean the showerhead needs replacing. When a drip continues with the handle off, we check the valve cartridge. For toilet repairs, we also check which part is actually causing trouble before recommending a larger replacement.

Straight Answers
Why did the shower keep dripping after the showerhead was replaced?
At this Catoosa home in ZIP code 74015, we found that the Delta 1400 Series cartridge was letting water through while the shower was off. We replaced the cartridge rather than replacing the showerhead again.
Can an outdoor hydrant be repaired instead of replaced?
It depends on the hydrant's condition. On this Catoosa job in ZIP code 74015, we followed the homeowner's preference for repair, removed the stem and replaced the washer. This was a repair without a guarantee, not a full hydrant replacement.
Did the toilet need a complete flush valve replacement?
On this Catoosa job in ZIP code 74015, we replaced the hose that was coming loose and spraying inside the tank. We did not replace the canister flush valve; that would require confirming the correct replacement part.
