Understanding shower valve issues what you need to know
Shower valves, like any plumbing fixture, are susceptible to wear and tear due to regular use. Factors such as lime and dirt accumulation in your water supply, or alterations to your hot water settings, can degrade your valve’s performance over time.
Common Signs of Shower Valve Problems:
Stiff Faucet Operation
If turning your shower faucet becomes difficult, this could indicate a misalignment or a more severe issue requiring valve replacement. Ideally, your shower faucet should operate smoothly and adjust easily.
Erratic Temperature Fluctuations
While minor temperature shifts are normal, extreme changes suggest a problem. Such inconsistencies often stem from lime buildup within the valve, which can usually be resolved by cleaning the faucet assembly.
Reduced Water Pressure
A noticeable drop in water pressure or a general decrease could point to valve complications, potentially due to wear or internal blockages.
Leaks from the Shower Head
Properly sealed shower valves should prevent any dripping. If you observe leakage, it might mean the seal is compromised, necessitating prompt repair to prevent further damage.
