A shower valve isn’t something people often think about, but it is essential for a steady flow of constant-temperature water. Without it, you cannot adjust the water temperature or pressure to a comfortable level.

The valve normally remains hidden behind the shower handle or even the wall. It’s typically a pressure balancing valve, although thermostatic valves may be used as well in high-end showers. Regardless of the type, it usually remains unnoticed until there is a problem such as a leaky shower faucet, repair of which often requires local plumbers to fix the valve and other associated components.

Signs of a Faulty Shower Valve

It’s usually quite obvious when this part goes bad. Regular use causes normal wear and tear, which eventually leads to a breakdown or reduction in performance. Most people shower on a regular basis, and families may put the valve to use several times per day.

Consult a plumber if you notice issues such as:

Warm water suddenly turns cold.
A warm shower suddenly becomes scalding hot.
Temperature changes even when no other tap is on.
There are sudden changes in water pressure.
Fluctuations or steady changes in pressure occur over time.
The shower faucet is leaking.
