When issues arise that prevent you from showering, it provides two major problems, the inability to shower now or shower later…
What is more annoying than a broken shower? Having a daily shower has become a critical part of everyday life. When problems begin to show themselves, it cannot only be an inconvenience but can also cause significant damage to your bathroom. That is why at the first signs of trouble it is important to call in the experts.
There is reason for concern if you are experiencing any of the following issues with your Shower:
Leaks in Showerhead: Damaged seals or inner valves can cause a leaking showerhead. Not only is it annoying with the sound of constant dripping, but could also show itself as an increased cost your next energy bill.
Cracked Surfaces: Modern showers often use plastic, acrylic, fiberglass, and other surfaces to keep a watertight seal in your shower. If cracks do appear, the water is most likely to leak into the floors underneath the shower and cause a great deal of damage; including mold and mildew.
Lack of Hot Water: Your shower should be reliable enough to provide you and at least one other person the convenience of a hot shower. If your shower is not able to produce enough hot water, it may be a problem with the valves located in your shower fixture. (Please Note: Note having enough hot water can also be a sign that there is a problem with your hot water heater).
Low Pressure: A poorly performing shower fixture is likely to have a clogged aerator. Unscrew the nozzle and look for signs of buildup. If the piece needs to be cleaned, soak it in a vinegar-water solution. If the problem does not clear up, it may be time for a replacement.

Shower Installation Services
When looking to install a new shower, before you begin planning, there are a couple of questions you need to ask yourself…
What kind of base do I want installed? The shower base is the foundation of your walk-in shower. Simply stated, it is the part that rests on the floor and contains the drain that carries water out of the home via the sewage system. Shower bases come in a wide range of colors, sizes and shapes. If you can’t find the perfect shower base for your bathroom, you can always have it custom made. This can be a better choice as it can give you more options when its time for the finishing.
What kind of shower heads do I like? There are several examples of showerheads available on the market today, each offering a particular set of features and also choice of styles. Keep in mind that like faucets, and other fixtures, showerheads range from economy to the high-end price ranges.
Some of these examples include:
Fixed showerheads: Traditional fixed showerheads are mostly common shower-faucets because as they can easily connect to the plumbing fixtures without any additional hardware.
Shower handsets: Handset shower-faucets are connected by a flexible hose, and can also mounted and used like the fixed showerhead.
Ceiling-mounted showerheads: Ceiling-mounted shower-faucets are typically raindrop showerheads mounted in one shower ceiling. Water-rains down, at low or medium pressure, using the gravity to shower on one from directly above.
Adjustable showerheads: Adjustable showerheads are often have numerous settings, including the pulsating massage settings and high-pressure settings.
