How do I maintain my new shower valve?
To maintain your new valve, avoid using abrasive chemical cleaners on the external trim, as these can damage the finish. If you live in an area with hard water, periodic professional flushing of the cartridge can help prevent mineral buildup and maintain smooth handle operation.
Why is professional shower valve replacement better than DIY?
Shower valve work often requires soldering pipes inside a finished wall, which is a significant fire risk without professional equipment. A licensed plumber ensures the valve is set at the correct depth and that all connections are secure, preventing hidden leaks that cause mold.

How does a new shower valve provide value?

What logistics are involved in a valve replacement?
The process involves shutting off the main water supply, accessing the valve through the front or a rear access panel, and precisely fitting the new hardware. Our team manages these logistics efficiently to ensure your shower is back in service as quickly as possible.
