FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Bathtub & Shower Repairs
Have questions about bathtub or shower repairs? Find answers to common questions below.
Signs include: water draining very slowly, gurgling sounds from the drain, standing water that takes a long time to disappear, foul odors coming from the drain, or visible debris in the drain. If DIY methods like plunging or drain cleaners don't work, it's time to call a professional.
Common causes include: mineral buildup in shower heads, problems with the pressure balancing valve, issues with the home's main water supply, clogged pipes, or problems with the shower cartridge. Our technicians can diagnose the exact cause and provide the appropriate solution.
We recommend annual inspections for bathroom plumbing, especially if your home is older than 20 years. Regular inspections can identify potential problems early, prevent major repairs, and extend the life of your plumbing fixtures. Signs you need an immediate inspection include leaks, slow drains, or changes in water pressure.
Yes, we offer tile and grout repair services for shower areas. We can replace damaged tiles, repair cracked grout, and address water damage behind tiles. Proper tile repair is essential to prevent water leakage that can lead to mold growth and structural damage. We'll match your existing tiles as closely as possible.
Repair involves fixing specific components like washers, cartridges, or valves. Replacement means installing a completely new faucet. We typically recommend repair for minor issues and newer fixtures, while replacement is better for older fixtures with multiple problems or when you want to upgrade to a more efficient model. We'll advise you on the most cost-effective option.
