Fixing shower and leaky water valve

- Company Response
Dear Jennifer, The difference between renovation plumbers and service plumbers, is that we service plumbers are called in to fix the problems that renovation plumbers create. For example, the reason the valve needed tightening was because the seal has worn away creating a space between the nut and the stem. Tightening the nut does not repair the seal that protects you from a flood. Eventually that valve will leak again potentially causing tens of thousands of dollars in damages. So in essence it is a "quick fix". The valve needs to be replaced. We see homes that are flooded every day because of this type of poor workmanship. Sometimes you may be happy to save a few hundred dollars in the short term, but it ends up costing you much more in the long run. We are sorry that you are unhappy and can understand why you thought we were trying to take advantage of you, based on an opinion of a renovation plumber, however we as service plumbers see the bigger picture and work to keep your home safe from problems in the future.
Thank you!
