Cold Showers are not fun!
Have you ever been enjoying a nice warm shower when all of a sudden, the water turns shockingly cold? Even worse, someone flushes a toilet and the shower becomes unbearably hot? Under those circumstances, eliminate these major and potentially harmful temperature fluctuations by installing a high-quality and functional shower valves.
When you use the handle to turn on the shower, does it grind? Does it not turn at all? What about the hot water? Is the water trickling and not coming out? Or is it not mixing hot and cold together correctly? Maybe you are not getting any hot water or no water at all. It seems the water just suddenly stopped.
Potential Solutions: If the shower handle won’t turn or makes a strange grinding noise, the hot water isn’t working, the hot and cold water isn’t mixing properly, or water is only trickling out of your faucet. In any case, chances are your shower valves are not working properly. Contemporary faucets contain washerless cartridges, and these have replaced the older washer and valve seat designs to control water flow. There are numerous explanations for this:
The valve cartridge is broken. Shower faucets contain a valve cartridge. If this breaks or wears, your valve will stop working.
The rubber ring in the valve has corroded or broken. If the rubber ring has rotted, corroded or broken, you can quickly and easily replace it to get the system back up and running.
The plastic knob is cracked or broken. Again, this is a relatively easy problem to fix.
The valve has been installed upside down. Believe it or not, this is a common problem!
You should pay attention to any minor problems that emerge at the earliest opportunity. Fixing an issue in the early days could save you a lot of money down the line.
If you have been having problems lately taking a shower and look dazed and confused, it is because your showerhead, faucets, or the shower valve is breaking or is worn out. Give Ready Plumbing a call, we will take the confusion away.
