With our years of experience, Mr. Rooter Plumbing is your one-call solution for plumbing repair, installation, and maintenance. If your tap is struggling to turn or your shower is coming out too cold, that's generally a sign that you need a cartridge replacement. Scarborough plumbers can help address this problem by replacing it for you.
Our reliable plumbing experts will typically follow the steps outlined below during an appointment for faucet or shower cartridge replacement in Scarborough:
- The shut-off valve for the fixture is turned off to prevent potential water damage
- Your plumber will carefully remove the handle and any other decorative parts to allow access to the cartridge.
- The old cartridge is removed, which might involve specialized tools if it's stuck.
- The area is thoroughly cleaned to remove any debris or mineral deposits. This ensures a tight, leak-free seal for the new one.
- The new cartridge is installed. Your plumber will ensure that it's properly aligned and, if necessary, lubricated, as recommended by the manufacturer.
- Lastly, your plumber will reassemble the handle and trim, and then turn the water back on for final tests to ensure leaks have been resolved and the issues have been addressed.
