A dripping showerhead is one of the most annoying sounds you can hear in the bathroom. If it’s a constant drip, you might have a serious problem that requires a plumber. But if it’s just an occasional drip, there are ways you can fix it yourself.

If you have a handheld removable shower head, then the first thing to do is try turning off the water supply and letting it sit for a minute or two. This allows any excess water in the hose to drain out and dry, which may solve the problem. You can also try flushing out the hose with hot water: turn on the hot water and let it run until all of the warm water runs through the pipe (this may take a while).

If the method does not work, before rushing to buy another showerhead, here is what you can do:

• Adjust the water pressure.

If your showerhead is dripping, it may be due to an issue with the water pressure in your home or apartment. You can try adjusting the water pressure by turning the knob on your shower faucet. If that doesn’t work, call a plumber to check out your plumbing system and make any necessary repairs.

• Clean the aerator screen on your shower head.

If you have a plastic or rubber shower head, then you may be able to fix the problem by simply cleaning the aerator screen inside of it. This is a small piece that is inserted into an opening at one end of the showerhead (usually near where it connects to your pipe). To clean this piece, simply remove it from its housing and rinse it under warm running water until all traces of mineral buildup are gone from inside of it. Then put everything back together again so that you can use your shower again!

• Clean Blocked Showerhead

If your showerhead is dripping, the first thing to do is make sure there isn't a clog in the pipe that feeds water to your shower. If there is, you'll need to remove the pipe and clean it out. If there isn't a clog, then you may have an issue with your showerhead.

If the above methods have not worked and the showerhead has been dripping for a long time, it's probably time to repair or replace it. The good news is that replacing a showerhead is a relatively easy DIY project that can be accomplished in about 20 minutes or less.

However, it's easy to repair. Here's how to stop a showerhead from dripping.

• Step 1 - Remove the Showerhead

First, turn off the water supply to your shower by turning off the handle at the base of your faucet. Then, remove the showerhead by unscrewing it from its mount on top of your faucet or wall.

• Step 2 - Examine the O-Ring

The O-ring is a rubber ring that seals the hole in which the showerhead sits in its mount. If it looks damaged or worn out, replace it with a new one that matches your showerhead. They are inexpensive and available at any hardware store. You can also find them online if you don't want to go out to buy one right away.

• Step 3 - Reassemble Your Shower Head

Reassembling everything is pretty much just like taking it apart in reverse order (first removing all parts from their respective places). Make sure everything goes back together smoothly before you turn on your water again!
