Water Heaters
Repair and replacement for tank and tankless water heaters that leak, make noise or run out of hot water too fast.
A shower that drips all day, swings hot and cold or barely sprays. We repair showers across Geneva, from clawfoot setups in historic homes to modern valves, usually without disturbing your tile. From our office on Campbell Street.

Most start in the valve:
A worn cartridge or washer inside the valve. On older two-handle valves, it may be the seats as well.
Older valves don't balance pressure at all, and newer ones can wear out.
A clogged head, a worn cartridge or, in older homes, galvanized pipe narrowed by rust.
A valve or drain leak often shows as a stain on the ceiling or plaster below.
Geneva's bathrooms span almost two centuries.
Historic homes may have clawfoot tubs with exposed shower plumbing. We repair and replace those fittings.
Older valves can be rebuilt, but parts can be scarce. A pressure-balancing valve may be the better fix.
In homes built after 1990, a cartridge swap usually brings the shower back.
In older homes, a shower leak often shows up as a stain or bulge in the plaster below. We find the source before any plaster is opened.
We fix the shower, not remodel the bathroom.
Head, cartridge, valve or pipe.
Before any work.
Most repairs go through the trim.

The valve isn't balancing pressure.
Older valves don't balance pressure, and newer ones can wear out. A pressure-balancing valve or cartridge fixes it.
A valve, drain or connection behind the wall.
Usually a leaking valve, a loose connection or a failed drain seal. We find the source and fix it.
Often, with a new valve and fittings.
Often. We install the valve, riser and head and handle the plumbing side of the conversion. Tile or surround work is coordinated separately.
It depends on the valve and parts. You'll approve a flat price first.
