You may have a problem with your home plumbing that causes your shower to squeal or scream every time you take a soak. Here are some of the most common causes of your shower to squeal and how you can stop it.

Your Shower Makes a Loud Noise

A loud, high-pitched sound from your shower could be caused by one of many reasons.

These five common causes of shower whistles and squeals are:

Shower heads that are damaged or blocked can make a loud, whistling sound. You can replace the shower-head if the sound does not stop. Shower head pipes blocked: If the problem is not caused by the shower-head, a clogged pipe can also cause problems. You can use a snake, or another narrow, flexible tool, to remove mineral deposits from the line that leads to the shower-head.

Faulty Shower Cart – Sometimes the shower cartridge can be damaged or broken. This is because it is located inside the faucet assembly.

Broken or worn diverter valve

Too much water pressure: This can also be caused by blocked pipes. It could also be a sign of a bigger problem with your plumbing system.

Is a squealing shower dangerous?

A squealing shower can make you feel anxious. If your pipes are rusting, it could be causing the water to squeal. These problems are difficult to fix. If your pipes get clogged up with debris, it can lead to more damage and costly repairs.
