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.

Question Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my question. I have a 30 year old Emco or Waltec tub shower and pull out diverter unit. They are combined in one unit. The diverter all of a sudden is not giving positive shut off, about equal amounts of water come out of the tub spout and shower head.
The diverter has a small screw on the small rectangle handle but I do not know how to get the diverter out without taking the entire unit off the wall. I am assuming that since it happened all of a sudden there is a small piece of dirt or something lodged in it. Help!
Answer Tom,
These type of valves can rarely be fixed.
May I suggest replacing the valve assembly with a more modern unit?
