Shower Cartridge Install/Replacement
St. Louis & St. Charles, MO
Shower Valve Replacement
That dripping shower faucet, the inconsistent water temperature, or the stubborn handle that refuses to turn – these are all signs that your shower valve might be in need of repair. While the thought of replacing the entire shower valve system can be daunting and expensive, there’s often a simpler, more cost-effective solution: replacing the cartridge.
Arch Plumbing understands the intricacies of shower valves and can accurately diagnose the problem, saving you from unnecessary expenses. We’re committed to providing honest and transparent service, ensuring you get the right repair at the right price.
Understanding the Heart of Your Shower: The Cartridge
The shower valve cartridge is a small but vital component that controls the mixing of hot and cold water, regulating both temperature and flow. It’s like the conductor of your shower orchestra, ensuring a harmonious blend of water for a comfortable experience.
Over time, these cartridges can wear out due to mineral buildup, corrosion, or simply age. This can lead to a variety of issues:
- Leaks: A dripping showerhead or faucet even when turned off indicates a faulty cartridge.
- Temperature fluctuations: Sudden bursts of hot or cold water are a telltale sign of a worn-out cartridge struggling to maintain a consistent temperature.
- Stiff handle: Difficulty turning the handle or a handle that feels loose and wobbly suggests a problem with the cartridge.
- Reduced water pressure: A decrease in water pressure could be caused by a clogged or damaged cartridge.
