When you use the handle to turn on the shower, does it grind? Does it not turn at all? What about the hot water? Is the water trickling and not coming out? Or is it not mixing hot and cold together correctly?
Maybe you are not getting any hot water or no water at all. It seems the water just suddenly stopped. This means you have a bad shower valve.

- Dripping or running water when you turn your shower off (most common)
- Difficulty turning the shower handle, which worsens over time
- Shower handle gets stuck or “slips” and doesn’t turn on the water
- Reduced water pressure: A bad shower cartridge can also cause a decrease in water pressure, making your shower less effective.
How to tell if your shower cartridge is bad:
Cartridges are one of several common types of faucets and are particularly common in showers. This type of shower uses holes to regulate the flow of water from your faucet or shower head.
If the cartridge wears out, your shower valve won’t function properly. (Indicated by leaking or seeping water.) The rubber rings and parts around the shower valve may need to be replaced, as these shower components are susceptible to breaking, corrosion, or dry-rot.
- Sometimes the shower valve seems bad but the plastic knob is cracked instead. For this reason, you will have to hunt for that part and not have to spend money to replace the whole thing. A broken shower knob.

Badly Installed Shower Valves
Believe it or not, your shower valve can be installed upside down. So, when the shower is on and the water is coming out of the shower head you also see water coming out of the spout. Some water coming out of the spout is normal.
If it becomes excessive, check for this error first. If the valve is installed properly but you still see water coming from both the shower head and the tub faucet, you may need to contact Discount Plumbers for a diverter replacement.
