At Melbourne Plumbing we’ve seen loads of different situations with our clients over the years. Last week we arrived at a property to find a situation where the shower was on and it was unable to be turned off. It just goes to show that plumbing emergencies of any type can occur at any time, in the shower, kitchen, out the side with the hot water or in the backyard. Plumbing really is something you can’t do without.
Still one of the most common (and dare I say frustrating) problems homeowners face is a shower that won’t turn off. That’s exactly what happened to one of our clients recently, but thanks to the quick response of our experienced plumbing team at Melbourne Plumbing Co, the issue was sorted in no time!
The Problem: A Shower That Wouldn’t Stop Running
Imagine finishing your shower, reaching for the taps, and realising oh no, they won’t turn off. Water continues to pour down, and no matter how much you twist, the flow just won’t stop. Not only is this a waste of water (which can lead to a costly water bill), but it can also cause serious damage.
This was the exact situation our client faced—an ongoing water flow that needed immediate attention. Thankfully, they called Melbourne Plumbing Co, and our expert team was on the job right away!
The Solution: New Spindles and a Breech Repair
Upon arrival, our plumbers quickly diagnosed the problem. The issue lay in the breech—the part of the plumbing system that connects the hot and cold water supply to the shower taps. Over time, wear and tear can cause the spindles and seats within the breech to become damaged, preventing the taps from shutting off properly. Sometimes this things can be simple but when you need a professional plumber you just have to pickup the phone.
Our team acted fast, replacing the spindles and seat in the breech with high-quality, durable fittings. With precision and efficiency, we restored the shower’s functionality, ensuring the water could be turned off easily once again.
