Satisfaction with your shower faucet is essential each time you shower as part of your daily routine. If the faucet is not functioning correctly, it can lead to disappointment rather than rejuvenation and relaxation. Repairing or replacing the shower faucet could seem complicated, but our North Hill Sewer & Drain team is here to help you decide what is best for your Kenmore home.

Assessing The Issue

The initial step in the process is to diagnose the problems with your shower faucet. Once we find the source, we can help determine whether you should repair or replace it. These are some of the more common issues homeowners encounter:

• Leaks: Shower faucets can develop leaks in various places so we will determine the root source of the problem. The most common leak area is where the showerhead connects with the arm (the pipe that comes out of the wall), the fixture, and where the faucet is connected behind the wall.
• Water Pressure: Having inconsistent or weak water pressure is also a common complaint. While it may not be immediately noticeable as to the cause of the issue, it may be a problem with an older showerhead. Your showerhead may require a cleaning, a new water pressure regulator valve, or replacing the shower faucet completely.
• Water Temperature: If your water is not hot enough, you may have an issue with the mixer valve. Our professional plumbing technicians can test the water temperature to determine whether it is a shower faucet problem or something is happening within your home’s water heater.
• Unpleasant Odor: When you notice unpleasant odors emanating from your shower area, mildew or mold might come from leaks within the shower faucet system. Our technicians will perform leak detection services to ensure there is nothing going on underneath the surface.
