Shower Valve

Assessment & Preparation: Our team will inspect the valve to determine if it needs repair or replacement. We’ll turn off the water supply to prevent leaks during the process.
Remove the Old Valve: If repairing, we’ll disassemble the valve and replace worn-out components like washers, seals, or cartridges. For a full replacement, we’ll remove the old valve and plumbing connections.
Install the New Valve: We’ll install the new valve, making sure it’s securely connected to the water lines. For repairs, we’ll reassemble the valve with the new parts and ensure a proper seal.
Test the Valve: After installation, we’ll turn the water supply back on and check for leaks, ensuring the valve works properly with smooth temperature and pressure control.
Clean Up: Our team will clean up the work area, making sure the shower is fully functional and everything is in top condition.

We handle the full process to make sure your shower valve is working efficiently and without any leaks!

Here are several reasons why you might need to fix or replace your shower valve:

Leaks: If water is dripping from the valve or around the handle, it could be a sign of worn-out seals, which can often be fixed by replacing the washers or gaskets.
Low Water Pressure: If the water pressure from the shower is weak or inconsistent, it could be due to a clogged valve or a buildup of mineral deposits, which can usually be cleaned or repaired.
Temperature Control Issues: If the valve is not allowing you to regulate water temperature properly (water too hot or cold), it could be a sign that the internal components of the valve, like the cartridge or thermostatic elements, need repair.
Hard to Turn: If the valve handle is difficult to turn, it might be due to mineral buildup or wear and tear, which can often be resolved by fixing or replacing the internal parts.
Odd Noises: If the valve makes a buzzing or vibrating sound when in use, it could be caused by air in the system or a faulty part, which might just need some repair.
Frequent Repairs: If your shower valve is constantly needing repairs or has recurring issues, replacing it may be more cost-effective in the long run.
Age of the Valve: Older shower valves, especially those over 10-15 years old, can wear out and may no longer meet modern plumbing standards. Replacing it can improve performance and efficiency.
Inconsistent Temperature Control: If repairing the valve doesn’t resolve temperature control problems (such as water becoming scalding hot or freezing cold), the internal components may be too damaged to repair effectively, requiring a full replacement.
Corrosion or Rust: If the valve body or any parts show signs of rust or corrosion, it may be beyond repair, and replacement is necessary to ensure proper function and prevent leaks.
Outdated Model: If you’re remodeling your bathroom or upgrading to a more efficient or modern system, replacing the valve with a newer model can provide better control over water temperature and pressure, as well as improve water efficiency.
Increased Leaks: If the valve is leaking despite several repairs, it’s likely time for a replacement, as continued leaks can lead to water damage and mold growth.

If your shower valve is showing any of these signs, fixing it may resolve the issue, but if the problems persist, replacement might be the best long-term solution.
