Shower Valve Repair in Mesa, AZ

Fast & Reliable Shower Valve Repair in Mesa, AZ

Introduction

A constantly running shower isn’t just an inconvenience—it can lead to wasted water and higher utility bills. Rad Plumbing recently helped a homeowner in Mesa, AZ, resolve a shower that wouldn’t shut off by rebuilding the shower valve in just one hour.

The Problem

The homeowner’s shower would not turn off, likely due to worn-out springs and washers inside the shower valve. If left unchecked, this could cause higher water bills and potential plumbing damage.

Our Solution

1. Shutting Off the Water

• Turned off the home’s main water supply to prevent flooding during repairs.

2. Disassembling the Shower Valve

• Removed the trim and handle to access the valve components.
• Inspected the springs and washers, identifying them as the cause of the issue.

3. Replacing Worn-Out Parts

• Installed new springs and washers to restore the valve’s functionality.

4. Testing the Shower

• Reassembled the valve and trim.
• Turned the water back on and tested for leaks, ensuring the shower turned on and off smoothly.

Final Outcome

With new springs and washers installed, the shower now operates properly, preventing water waste and ensuring smooth functionality.
