Your showerhead or faucet won't stop dripping even after the handle is turned off. - Standing Water:

The water is impossible to regulate or fluctuates wildly while you're showering. - Water Stains:
You notice stains on the ceiling in the room directly below your bathroom. - Spongy Floors:
The floor near your tub feels soft, which often means there is subfloor water damage. - Banging Pipes:
You hear a knocking sound in the walls when the shower is running.
Our Shower Repair Services on Long Island
Shower plumbing problems can range from a small inconvenience to an urgent leak that needs immediate attention. T.F. O'Brien’s licensed plumbers are equipped to diagnose and fix all common shower issues for homeowners across Long Island.
Shower Valve & Temperature Control Repair
If your shower is only running hot or only cold, or if the temperature jumps around while you're using it, the problem is likely a worn-out valve cartridge or a faulty mixing valve. These are among the most common calls we get from Nassau County homeowners. We can determine if a simple repair is possible or if a valve replacement is the better long-term solution.
Shower Drain Repair & Clearing
Standing water on your shower floor is usually a sign of hair buildup or soap scum, but it can sometimes point to a deeper issue in the drain line. We handle professional drain clearing to get your shower flowing properly again. If you have recurring drain problems, we can provide a more thorough assessment of your home’s plumbing.
Showerhead Repair & Replacement
Long Island tap water is often mineral-heavy, which can lead to clogged showerheads and low water pressure over time. We can help determine if your showerhead just needs a good cleaning or if there is a deeper supply line issue that needs to be addressed.
Shower Leak Detection & Repair
A leak behind your shower wall or under the shower pan is a serious issue that can lead to subfloor damage and mold. T.F. O'Brien specializes in finding the exact source of a plumbing leak and fixing it correctly. Ignoring a leak can lead to expensive repairs later on, so it is best to have a professional look at it right away.
Shower Pipe & Supply Line Repair
In many mid-century Long Island homes, aging pipes can start to corrode or cause a banging sound—known as water hammer—when the shower turns on. We can inspect and repair your supply lines to ensure you have steady, quiet water flow.
Shower & Bathtub Installation on Long Island
Whether you are updating old fixtures or you are in the middle of a full bathroom renovation, T.F. O'Brien handles the plumbing side of your project. We install new shower valves, supply lines, and drain assemblies to ensure your new bathroom meets all New York State codes.
We are an ideal partner for homeowners working with a general contractor who need a licensed master plumber to handle the technical pipework and fixture hookups. Please note that while we handle all the plumbing, we do not perform tile work or cabinetry.
Our Bathtub Repair Services on Long Island
Bathtubs often develop their own unique plumbing issues, especially in older homes. We provide a full range of tub-specific repairs to keep your bathroom functional.
Bathtub Drain Repair & Clog Removal
If your tub takes forever to drain, it might be a clog in the P-trap or a failed stopper mechanism. We repair pop-up, trip-lever, and toe-touch drains, and we can clear even the most stubborn clogs.
Bathtub Faucet & Spout Repair
A dripping tub faucet or a spout that won't properly divert water to the showerhead is usually caused by a worn washer or a failed diverter valve. These are simple repairs for a licensed plumber that can save you a lot of wasted water.
Bathtub Overflow & Drain Assembly Repair
The overflow plate is designed to prevent a tub from spilling over, but if the gasket or linkage behind it fails, you can end up with water damage behind your tub surround. Replacing this assembly is a job best left to a professional to ensure there are no hidden leaks behind the wall.

Frequently Asked Questions
If the leak happens only when the water is running, it is likely a plumbing issue with the valve or supply lines. If it happens whenever the shower is used regardless of where the water is aimed, it could be a gap in your tile or caulk.
