Malfunctioning Water Heater
One of the most common reasons for a shower not getting hot is a problem with the water heater. This could be due to a thermostat malfunction, sediment buildup, or a faulty heating element. The experts at Wally Blanton Plumbing & Sewer can diagnose the issue and provide a reliable water heater repair or replacement solution.
Clogged Showerhead or Pipes
Mineral deposits and debris can accumulate in the showerhead or pipes, restricting water flow and preventing the water from heating up properly. Wally Blanton’s skilled plumbers can clean or replace the showerhead and clear any blockages in the pipes to restore hot water access.
Faulty Mixing Valve
The mixing valve is responsible for regulating the water temperature in your shower. If it’s not functioning correctly, it can prevent the water from reaching the desired hot temperature. Wally Blanton Plumbing & Sewer can inspect and repair or replace the mixing valve to get your shower back to optimal performance.
