Your shower and bathtub are essential fixtures in your home — used daily for comfort, hygiene, and relaxation. When problems arise, they can disrupt your routine and lead to water damage or high utility bills. Professional shower and bathtub plumbing services ensure reliable performance and long-lasting comfort.
Common Shower & Bathtub Problems
Homeowners often experience:
- Low Water Pressure: Mineral deposits or failing fixtures reduce flow.
- Slow Draining Tubs: Hair, soap scum, and buildup create stubborn clogs.
- Leaky Faucets or Valves: Waste water and increase monthly bills.
- Temperature Fluctuations: Faulty mixing valves cause sudden hot or cold water.
- Cracked or Worn Caulking: Allows water to seep behind walls and floors.
Ignoring these issues can lead to mold growth, damaged flooring, and costly repairs.
