Shower Valve Replacement
If you’re taking a hot shower and the water suddenly becomes icy cold or burning hot, you need to replace your shower valve. A shower valve has two important functions: it adjusts the rate of water flow and the temperature of the water in your shower. It is far more difficult to change a shower valve than it is to replace a showerhead. You will need the help of a professional plumber to complete this task effectively. A properly installed shower valve replacement should last a long time. Even if you live in a region with hard water, which causes limescale build-up in your appliances, you can rely on a shower valve to last for four or five years.
Potential shower valve failure
There are two categories of shower valves based on their functionality: mixer valves and thermostatically controlled valves. Every homeowner should be aware that most homes come with compression valves that will probably not last. The compression portion of the valve often breaks after 8–10 years. Shower valves frequently fail as a result of age or because they have been in the house for a long time. If hot or cold water levels drop, a damaged pressure valve could potentially cause a drop in your water pressure. This drop in pressure will then send either freezing cold or scalding hot water straight to your shower head. The good news is that you can replace the pressure balance valves, but you will need the assistance of a Plumber in South East London.
