Shower Repair in West Ashley, SC

Common Shower Problems We Resolve

Our extensive experience in shower repair allows us to tackle virtually any issue you might encounter. Here are some of the most frequent problems we address:

Persistent Leaks and Drips

Even a seemingly minor drip can waste hundreds of gallons of water annually, leading to higher water bills and potential structural damage over time. Leaks often stem from worn-out washers, O-rings, corroded valve seats, or issues with the showerhead itself. We meticulously inspect all components, from the showerhead to the faucet handles and internal valves, to pinpoint the source of the leak. Once identified, we perform precise repairs, replacing faulty components with durable, high-quality parts to ensure a watertight seal and stop the waste.

Low Water Pressure

A weak trickle instead of a strong spray can make showering an unsatisfying experience. Low water pressure can be caused by various factors, including mineral buildup in the showerhead or pipes, a faulty pressure balancing valve, issues with the main water supply, or even hidden leaks within your plumbing system. Our technicians use specialized tools to measure water pressure and inspect your plumbing lines for blockages or restrictions. We then apply targeted solutions, which may involve cleaning or replacing showerheads, clearing pipe blockages, or adjusting water pressure regulators to restore optimal flow.

Clogged Shower Drains

Slow-draining showers or standing water are clear indicators of a clog. Hair, soap scum, grease, and other debris accumulate over time, forming stubborn blockages that impede water flow. While chemical drain cleaners offer temporary relief, they can corrode pipes and are rarely a long-term solution. We utilize professional drain cleaning techniques, including snaking and hydro-jetting, to thoroughly clear blockages and remove buildup from your drainpipes. This not only resolves the immediate clog but also helps prevent future obstructions, ensuring your shower drains freely.

Inconsistent Water Temperature

Sudden fluctuations between scalding hot and freezing cold water are not only uncomfortable but can also be dangerous. This issue often points to problems with the thermostatic mixing valve, pressure balancing valve, or an underlying water heater problem. Our experts diagnose the cause of temperature instability, inspecting and repairing or replacing faulty valves to ensure a consistent and safe water temperature throughout your shower. We ensure your shower maintains your desired warmth without unexpected changes.

No Water at All

Experiencing no water from your shower can be a startling inconvenience. This can be due to a variety of issues, from a completely shut-off water valve, a severe pipe blockage, a significant leak elsewhere in the system, or a more complex problem with your home's main water supply. Our team quickly investigates the entire water delivery system, from the main line to your shower's specific plumbing, to identify and rectify the cause, restoring water flow promptly.

Noisy Showers

Grinding, squealing, or whistling sounds during a shower indicate internal issues. These noises often result from worn-out cartridges, loose internal components, or mineral deposits affecting water flow. Our technicians meticulously examine the shower valve assembly, identifying the source of the noise and performing the necessary repairs or part replacements to ensure quiet and smooth operation.
