Shower Valve Repair & Replacement in Sherwood, Oregon
A shower that drips when off, won't get hot, or has a handle that's hard to control has a fixable valve problem — not a reason to remodel. True Flow Plumbing diagnoses and repairs shower valves throughout Sherwood.
Shower Valve Service in Sherwood
Sherwood's 1990s–2000s construction used Moen and Delta pressure-balance valves almost universally — and at 20–30 years old, the cartridges in these valves are now at or past their typical service life. A shower that won't get hot, has inconsistent temperature, or drips when off is almost always a worn cartridge. We stock Moen 1225, 1222, and Delta 17 series cartridges on the truck.
🔧 Cartridge Replacement
The cartridge controls temperature and flow. When it wears out, the shower drips or won't regulate. We stock Moen, Delta, Kohler, and Price Pfister cartridges.
🚿 Pressure-Balance Valve Repair
Pressure-balance valves prevent scalding when a toilet flushes or washer runs. When the balancing element fails, we repair or replace it.
🌡️ Thermostatic Valve Upgrade
Thermostatic valves hold an exact set temperature regardless of pressure changes — a meaningful upgrade in larger {city} homes.
🔩 Three-Handle Conversion
Older {city} homes with three-handle shower setups converted to modern single-handle pressure-balance for better control and simpler operation.
🛁 Tub/Shower Diverter Repair
Diverter that doesn't fully redirect water from tub to shower — or leaks back to the tub while shower is on — is a straightforward repair.
🏠 Full Valve Replacement
When a valve body is beyond repair or parts are discontinued, we replace the entire valve body, cartridge, and trim.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why won't my shower get hot enough in my Sherwood home?
In most cases, a shower that won't get hot has a worn cartridge restricting the hot side, an anti-scald limiter set too conservatively, or a failing mixing valve. In Sherwood's 1990s–2010s construction, Moen and Delta pressure-balance valve cartridge replacements in 1990s–2000s Sherwood homes is the most common cause. We diagnose before replacing anything.
How long does shower valve repair take in Sherwood?
A cartridge replacement takes 45–60 minutes in most cases. A full valve replacement — new body, trim, and handle — typically takes 2–3 hours. We give you a realistic time estimate before we start.
Should I repair or replace my shower valve in Sherwood?
If only the cartridge is worn, repair is almost always the right call. If the valve body itself is cracked, corroded, or the model is discontinued with no available parts, replacement is the better answer. We'll tell you honestly which situation you're in.
