Types of Shower Valves

Our experienced plumbing service professionals are skilled at servicing all types of shower valves. We provide precise and lasting repairs by using high-quality materials and advanced techniques tailored to the specific needs of each project.

We service and install all types of shower valves, including:

Thermostatic shower valves: These valves maintain a consistent water temperature by adjusting the mix of hot and cold water, even if there’s a change in water pressure. They are ideal for preventing sudden temperature fluctuations.
Pressure-balancing shower valves: Designed to maintain the water pressure balance between hot and cold water, these valves help prevent scalding by automatically adjusting the water flow if there is a sudden pressure drop.
Diverter valves: Diverter valves switch the water flow between different outlets, such as from the showerhead to a handheld shower or tub faucet. They are essential for multi-functional shower systems.
Volume control valves: These valves allow you to control the volume of water independently from the temperature, giving you more flexibility and precise control over your shower experience.
Sequential valves: Sequential valves control both the temperature and flow of water with a single control mechanism, which moves in sequential order from cold to hot. They are user-friendly and efficient.
Manual mixer valves: Manual mixer valves combine hot and cold water manually to achieve the desired temperature. They are straightforward and commonly found in basic shower setups.

What Does a Shower Valve Do?

The shower valve, typically located behind the shower wall, is usually accessible through the handle or a dedicated access panel. It is responsible for regulating the flow and temperature of water, blending hot and cold water to deliver a consistent and comfortable shower experience.

FAQs About Shower Valve Repair in Riverside

Yes, we can repair shower valves. Whether the issue is a leak, inconsistent water temperature, or pressure problems, our skilled technicians will diagnose the root cause and fix the valve using high-quality parts so your shower works like it should.

Yes, replacing a shower valve often requires accessing plumbing behind the wall, selecting the correct valve type, and installing it correctly so it functions safely and efficiently. Our licensed plumbers are trained to handle this using durable materials and advanced techniques.

The repair time depends on the complexity of the issue and the type of valve. Simple repairs like replacing a cartridge can often be done quickly, whereas more involved problems or full valve replacements may take longer. We will provide you with an estimated timeline when we assess the situation.

Jim & Sons Plumbing & Rooter does not publish fixed pricing for valve replacement on their website. The cost depends on the type of valve, the complexity of the installation, and the parts required for the replacement. To get an accurate quote, simply call us and we will tell you a free estimate.

No. In order to replace a shower valve safely and correctly, we need to shut off your water supply. This ensures there is no risk of flooding or damage while we work on the valve.

There are several red flags to watch out for: fluctuating water temperature, leaks around the valve or shower head, a drop in water pressure, a stiff or loose handle, strange sounds like whistling or grinding, visible rust, discolored water, or water that continues flowing when the valve is turned off.

Technically, a homeowner can attempt to replace a valve, but it is not always safe or straightforward. Plumbing involves proper sealing and code compliance. For reliable performance and to avoid water damage, it is better to have a licensed plumber handle it, especially for shower valves tucked behind walls.

The lifespan of a shower valve varies depending on the quality of the valve, how often it’s used, and water conditions. However, a well-maintained, high-quality valve can last around 25 to 40 years before needing a replacement.

If your shower isn’t operating normally, such as sudden temperature spikes, persistent leaks, or difficulty turning the handle, those are strong indicators that something is wrong with the valve. Our team can perform a professional diagnosis to confirm whether the valve is failing or if another plumbing issue is at play.

Dripping happens because of worn internal parts, like a cartridge or seal. To stop it, we will remove and inspect the valve, replace any faulty components, and reassemble it correctly. If dripping comes from corrosion or damage beyond repair, we may recommend a full valve replacement for long-term reliability.
