Why does my shower have low water pressure?

Low shower pressure can be caused by a clogged showerhead, a partially closed supply valve, a failing pressure-balancing valve, or mineral buildup in the supply lines. Start by removing and cleaning the showerhead. If that doesn't help, the issue is likely in the valve or supply lines and needs professional diagnosis.

Can you replace a shower valve without removing the tile?

In many cases, yes. The cartridge inside the valve can be replaced through the faceplate opening without disturbing any tile. If the entire valve body needs replacement, an access panel behind the shower wall is the preferred approach. We minimize tile removal whenever possible.

What causes mold in the shower and how do I prevent it?

Mold thrives in the warm, moist environment of a shower. Poor ventilation, failing grout, and leaking fixtures make it worse. Ensure your bathroom fan runs during and 20 minutes after showering. Keep grout sealed, fix any leaks promptly, and address any gaps where water can get behind tile. A persistent mold problem may indicate a hidden leak.

My shower drips long after I turn it off — is that normal?

A few drops after shutoff can be residual water draining from the showerhead. But a steady drip that continues for minutes or hours indicates a worn cartridge or valve seat. This wastes water and can stain your shower surfaces. Replacing the cartridge usually solves the problem.

Can I convert my tub/shower combo to a walk-in shower?

Yes. This is a popular remodel that involves removing the tub, installing a new shower pan or custom tile base, adding a new drain, and installing shower walls and fixtures. The plumbing needs to be modified to relocate the drain and supply lines. We handle the complete plumbing portion of the conversion.

Why does my shower water suddenly go cold when someone flushes a toilet?

This happens when the shower valve doesn't have a pressure-balancing or thermostatic cartridge. When a toilet flushes, it draws cold water from the same supply, reducing cold flow to the shower and making it suddenly hot (or cold if it's the hot water line). Installing a pressure-balancing valve eliminates this problem.
