Expert: Anthony - The Plumber - 7/5/2009


Question
Recently had my hot water heater replaced, did not discover until I had guests(about a month later) that there is no hot water in 2nd shower. Not sure this is relevent-(Several months ago, my son had said the faucet in shower was hard to turn).
Please advise! Thank you!

Answer
Melinda,

A good rule of thumb after a repair on your plumbing system (especially
the water part), is to test EVERY fixture in the house for adequate flow.

I would suggest is removing the valve stem(s) and running the water to
determine if water is or is not coming through the valve.

If this doesn't work, please call back the plumber who installed the
water heater and have him check his work.

Hope this helps.


Regards,


Anthony

Expertise


I can answer most questions in the field of plumbing home repair for the inside or outside property of a home including irrigation systems, septic systems, well water systems, recirculation systems and I can address these questions from a beginning plumbing standpoint or for someone who has more advanced skills.

Are you working on an addition or remodelling? Need some bathroom or kitchen design ideas?

Run your questions by me since I enjoy that challenge of remodelling & new construction projects.

Experience

I have worked on a variety of major projects including Home Depot as an outsourced Project Manager tasked to repair the fire system at the Fullerton/Placentia store and distribution center in Orange County. I believe in simplifying any task I am assigned in order to avoid wasting time and material, while I always look for the simplest solution possible to the issue and then I execute my plan. Having lead many construction crews, large and small, I have been involved in residential and commercial repair and remodel projects including medical facilities, new home construction, high rises and apartment complexes. Building maintenance work in condominium complexes from Playa del Rey to Beverly Hills to the Hollywood Hills are a speciality. I have completed many maintenance work projects at complexes great and small.
