Signs I Need to Call a Plumber for My Shower or Bathtub?

While a homeowner can occasionally address minor plumbing concerns, certain situations necessitate the expertise of a licensed plumber. 

Common signals that a shower or bathtub requires professional attention include:

  • Persistent leaks: A dripping faucet or showerhead signifies more than an inconvenience; it indicates potential water waste and underlying plumbing issues that require professional assessment.
  • Inadequate drainage: Slow drainage or complete blockage in a shower or bathtub necessitates immediate attention. Accumulation of hair, soap residue, or foreign objects can severely impede proper drainage.
  • Fluctuating water temperature: Inconsistent water temperature or a complete absence of hot water signifies potential problems with a water heater or plumbing system, demanding professional diagnosis and repair.
  • Unusual sounds: Gurgling, banging, or whistling sounds emanating from pipes indicate pressure irregularities or concealed leaks that require prompt attention to prevent further damage.
  • Evidence of water damage: Stains on the ceiling below a bathroom or soft spots on the floor are indicative of a leak. Immediate professional intervention is crucial to mitigate extensive water damage and mold growth.

At Allied Plumbing & Trenchless, we possess the expertise and advanced equipment to address the full spectrum of shower and bathtub concerns.

What Are the Different Types of Bathtubs & Showers Available?

Selecting the appropriate bathtub or shower is a critical decision in bathroom design, impacting both functionality and aesthetics. The ideal choice transcends mere utility, reflecting individual preferences and lifestyle requirements. Today's market offers diverse options, each with distinct advantages, catering to a spectrum of needs and design sensibilities.

Popular shower and bathtub styles include: 

  • Alcove configurations: A contemporary evolution of the traditional alcove setup, these installations optimize space utilization. Modern alcove units often integrate features like built-in shelving, sophisticated showerheads (including rainfall and handheld options), and steam capabilities, offering a spa-like experience within a compact footprint.
  • Freestanding bathtubs: Freestanding tubs serve as focal points, elevating the bathroom's visual appeal. Available in a range of materials, from classic cast iron to contemporary acrylic and solid surface composites, these models offer unparalleled design versatility, complementing both traditional and modern aesthetics.
  • Drop-in bathtubs: Drop-in tubs are characterized by their installation within a custom-built surround or platform. This configuration allows for creative integration with the bathroom's overall design, offering a seamless and often luxurious aesthetic.
  • Corner bathtubs: Corner bathtubs provide a space-efficient solution without compromising comfort. This configuration is particularly well-suited for smaller bathrooms or unconventional layouts, maximizing usable space.
  • Walk-in bathtubs: These are increasingly popular because they prioritize accessibility and therapeutic benefits. Features such as hydrotherapy jets, integrated seating, and low-threshold entry cater to a wide range of users.
  • Shower enclosures: Modern shower enclosures have evolved beyond basic functionality. Frameless glass designs, multi-function showerheads, body sprays, and built-in seating options transform the showering experience into a personalized and invigorating ritual.
  • Tub-shower combinations: These units provide a practical solution for maximizing space in smaller bathrooms. Contemporary designs offer enhanced functionality and aesthetics, such as wider tub profiles for comfortable showering and sleek, integrated fixtures.

The selection of a bathtub or shower should be a considered process, weighing factors such as available space, desired functionality, accessibility requirements, and overall design objectives. By carefully evaluating these elements, homeowners and design professionals can curate a bathing environment that is both aesthetically pleasing and optimally suited to individual needs.

What Are Some Ways to Improve My Shower’s Water Pressure?

Insufficient water pressure can significantly diminish the enjoyment and efficiency of shower experiences. Before accepting subpar water pressure, consider potential solutions to restore optimal flow. Begin by examining the showerhead for mineral deposits or obstructions that may impede water flow. Regular cleaning can often alleviate this issue. If a water softener is in use, make sure it is functioning properly, as hard water can contribute to pipe corrosion and pressure reduction. Evaluating the age and condition of the plumbing system is also recommended, as older pipes, particularly those constructed from galvanized steel, are susceptible to rust and sediment accumulation, restricting water flow.

Inspecting the water pressure regulator, typically located near the water meter, is also recommended. This valve controls the water pressure entering the home. If set too low, it can contribute to low shower pressure. Adjusting this valve may provide the necessary improvement. Should these measures prove ineffective, consulting a licensed plumber to diagnose potential underlying issues, such as a clogged pipe or a problem with the water main, is advisable. A professional assessment may recommend solutions such as installing a water pressure booster pump.

A homeowner can transform a shower from a disappointing trickle into a revitalizing cascade through investigation and appropriate intervention. Allied Plumbing & Trenchless stands ready to assist with diagnosing or resolving any shower and bathtub issues, including water pressure problems.
