Fequently Asked Questions
If your shower handle is difficult to turn, leaks continuously when shut off, or fails to properly mix hot and cold water, the internal cartridge or valve body likely needs professional repair or full replacement.
High-quality shower valves and fixtures can last fifteen to twenty years with proper maintenance, though the internal rubber seals and cartridges often require replacement every five to seven years.
Replacing a shower cartridge or fixing a minor leak usually takes an experienced plumber about one to two hours, provided there is easy access to the valve behind the handle.
A sudden loss of hot water pressure in your shower is often caused by a failing thermostatic mixing valve, a clogged showerhead aerator, or mineral scale buildup inside the pipes.
You should have your shower fixtures and visible sealants inspected annually during a whole-home plumbing check to ensure no hidden moisture is seeping behind the tile or fiberglass surround.
