Serving Chicagoland Since 1993
Shower Repair in Tinley Park, IL
A showerhead that won't stop dripping, a handle that's hard to turn or water that runs cold when someone flushes. We repair shower valves, cartridges, heads and drains, with a flat price before we start. From our office on 185th Street.
Common Shower Problems We Fix
Most start inside the valve behind the wall:
Dripping After It's Off
A worn cartridge or washer.
Cold Blasts When Someone Flushes
The pressure-balancing part of the valve isn't keeping up.
A Weak Showerhead
Mineral buildup in the head is the easy fix. If the tub spout is weak too, look at the valve.
A Slow Shower Drain
Hair and soap in the drain. See drain cleaning.
Shower Repairs in Tinley Park Homes
Bathrooms from the 1980s and 1990s are reaching the age where original shower valves start to wear out.
Original Single-Handle Valves
Most homes here have single-handle pressure-balancing valves. The cartridge inside wears out after 20 years or so. Replacing it usually fixes drips, stiffness and temperature swings.
Fiberglass Tub and Shower Units
Many homes have one-piece fiberglass units. Most valve work happens through the trim, so the surround stays intact.
Hot Water That Runs Out
If the shower runs cold after a few minutes, the problem may be the water heater, not the valve. See water heater repair.
