There's few things more annoying than a leaking shower head. The incessant dripping not only makes noise and wastes water, but depending on the severity and source of the leak, it can dramatically increase your water bill, and in certain situations the endless dripping and dribbling can promote the development of dry rot or mold in your bathroom. For these reasons, it's a good practice to try and stop the leak as soon as possible. If your bathroom has a Kohler shower head installed in it, this can be done in less than an hour once you've identified the problem and obtained the correct Kohler replacement parts for your shower system. | There's few things more annoying than a leaking shower head.
