Showerhead Quick Fix

Many great inventors discover things by accident. The Carey Brothers are no exception. We made a terrific discovery by accident that could save you hundreds of dollars in making make a common showerhead repair. Often the entire showerhead gooseneck pipe in a tiled bath comes loose. Getting it fixed could easily cost $300 to $400. During a recent kitchen remodel, we were using an expanding foam sealant in walls to control air infiltration and noticed that it dried rock-hard which got us to thinking. Our customer also had a loose gooseneck pipe in a shower stall which was next on our list to fix. In an explosive blast of brilliance, we sprayed foam sealant into the wall and watched it lock the gooseneck pipe in place rock-solid right before our eyes. Today, years later, it's still there like the Rock of Gibraltar spraying away. Try it. And that's the On The House tip for today.
