It can be dangerous if the water temperature in your shower goes from hot to cold and back again with no warning. Billy the Sunshine Plumber can help you with that!

It happened again this morning. You’d just gotten back from a long bike ride along the Gainesville-Hawthorne Trail. You hopped in the shower while looking forward to having that warm water relax your sore muscles. That’s the way it started out. But, suddenly the warm water turned cold, then it became hot. You cut your shower short simply because the experience was so uncomfortable.

Water temperature that fluctuates without warning isn’t only uncomfortable, it can be dangerous if the water suddenly turns scalding hot and burns you. You need to get it repaired as soon as you can.

Water temperature variations can be caused by many problems with your plumbing. Those problems range from a failure to turn your hot water tap completely on to an uneven distribution of water pressure to faulty thermostats, among other things, according to homeawesomation.net.

If the problem is not immediately apparent, or if you’ve tried to locate it and can’t, then it’s time to contact a trustworthy plumber for help.

A dripping shower could indicate your shower valve needs to be replaced.

Halloween is drawing near and you’re beginning to wonder if a gremlin or other mischief maker has gotten into your shower. Your shower doesn’t completely turn off but keeps dripping even when the faucet is in the “off” position.

That sounds as if your shower valve has broken or worn out. The shower valve, or cartridge, is the piece behind the wall that connects the hot and cold water, according to the Washington Post. Water that drips or continues to flow after you cut off the shower is the most common sign that your shower valve is broken. Other symptoms of a broken shower valve include difficulty turning the handle or a handle that slips and fails to turn on the water.

Replacing a shower valve is a job for a professional plumber, the Washington Post says. The shower valve can easily break, forcing you to shut off the water to the entire house until a plumber arrives.

If you don’t know a trustworthy professional plumber, it’s time to get to know the plumbing technicians at Billy the Sunshine Plumber.

A clogged shower drain can leave you standing knee deep in water. Billy the Sunshine Plumber can help with that.

When you got back home from your morning walk through Boyd Hill, you took a shower. But instead of being clean from head to toe, you found yourself standing in ankle-deep dirty water because the shower drain was clogged. It seems as if your shower clogs frequently and you can’t figure out why.

“A clogged drain is a slow drain. In the case of a clogged toilet or a clogged kitchen sink, a large obstruction may be to blame—but shower drains mostly slow down when they accumulate hair, lint, or residue from bath products over time,” bungalow.com says. “That goes for bathroom sink clogs, too. Think of all that toothpaste!”

Hair is a major culprit when it comes to shower clogs. Especially if you wash your hair while in the shower. But other things can also cause clogs. Among them, according to bungalow.com, are body or bath oils and dust or debris.

“Body oils might make your skin feel amazing, but most of it winds up in the drain as you rinse off, hardening overnight as the pipes cool between uses. Avoid oily bath products, or save them for post-shower,” bungalow.com says. “It can be tempting to empty a dustbin or shake out a rug into the shower and wash it away, but larger bits of dirt and debris can accumulate and make clogs worse later on.”

Bungalow.com suggests that drain maintenance is a good way to keep your shower from getting clogged.

“Make drain-cleaning part of your cleaning routine. Keep a bottle of distilled white vinegar or baking soda in the bathroom and pour a little of one or both down the drain after every few showers. Follow with a blast of hot water,” according to bungalow.com.

If you still get a lot of clogs or run into a clog you can’t dislodge by yourself, then it’s time to call in the drain cleaning plumbers at Billy the Sunshine Plumber.
