A leaking or corroded shower arm is the pipe between the wall and the showerhead. Here is the Lynchburg guide.
The arm
The arm threads into a fitting in the wall and the showerhead threads onto it.
The leak
Water dripping from behind the head or down the wall is usually the arm or its connection.
The fix
Unscrew the old arm, wrap the threads with tape, and thread on the new one.
The call
If the fitting inside the wall is bad, call a pro. Call 888-217-3585 and Lynchburg Plumbing Pros will match you with a Lynchburg plumber.
