Common Shower Valve Problems
Shower valves in the local TW1 and TW2 area often experience issues due to hard water scale and mechanical wear over time:
- Limescale Buildup: High mineral levels in local water cause internal thermostatic elements to seize or stick.
- Failed Thermostatic Elements: Causes sudden scalding or freezing water bursts while showering.
- Worn O-Rings & Gaskets: Leads to slow, constant dripping behind tile walls — where concealed damp may require Trace & Access leak detection if water travels into neighboring walls or ceilings.
- Low Flow / Pressure Loss: Debris or internal cartridge blockage restricting water flow through the mixer.
