Drain Cleaning
Slow, gurgling or backed-up drains and main lines, cleared and checked on camera.
A shower that drips, water that turns hot or cold without warning or a stain on the ceiling below. We repair shower and tub valves and fixtures in Hanover Park homes. Our office is on Greenbrook Boulevard.

Call when:
A worn cartridge.
An old or worn valve.
A clogged showerhead or valve.
A leak at the valve or drain.
Many bathrooms here still have original valves.
Valves from the '70s and '80s wear out and don't balance pressure.
A cracked base can leak into the ceiling below.
Leaks show up on the first-floor ceiling.
Fix it without tearing out the wall where we can.
Through the trim if possible.
First.
No drips, steady temperature.

If your shower still has the valve that came with the house, a replacement can solve several problems at once. A pressure-balancing or thermostatic valve keeps the temperature steady when someone flushes or starts the dishwasher. A new cartridge-style valve is easier to repair later. With a fiberglass surround, we can often reach the valve from an access panel or from the room behind, so you don't have to replace the whole unit.
A cartridge swap is usually quick. Replacing an original valve takes longer, especially with a fiberglass surround. Leak testing adds time when the source isn't obvious. We diagnose and quote a flat price before work starts.
