Know the Signs

Shower Problems We Fix

Most start in the valve:

A Drip

A worn cartridge or washer inside the valve. On older two-handle valves, it may be the seats as well.

Hot and Cold Swings

Older valves don't balance pressure at all, and newer ones can wear out.

Weak Spray

A clogged head, a worn cartridge or, in older homes, galvanized pipe narrowed by rust.

Leaks Below the Bathroom

A valve or drain leak often shows as a stain on the ceiling or plaster below.

Local Knowledge

Shower Repairs in Geneva Homes

Geneva's bathrooms span almost two centuries.

Clawfoot Tubs and Exposed Risers

Historic homes may have clawfoot tubs with exposed shower plumbing. We repair and replace those fittings.

Old Two- and Three-Handle Valves

Older valves can be rebuilt, but parts can be scarce. A pressure-balancing valve may be the better fix.

Newer Valves Needing Cartridges

In homes built after 1990, a cartridge swap usually brings the shower back.

Leaks Through Old Plaster Ceilings

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.
