ShowerValve is a referral service, not a contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands, and valve work opening a wall is often a permitted alteration — ask to see the permit. We carry out no work, we sell no valves, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call. The maximum water temperature is set by your local code, not by this website.

Shower Valve Replacement coverage in Corrales, NM

Corrales is in Sandoval County, New Mexico. Its ZIP code is 87048. We route shower valve replacement calls from 87048.

Why the temperature swings

A valve that is not pressure-balanced sees the cold side drop when something else draws cold water, and the mix at the head follows it. That is the fault anti-scald valves were introduced to remove.

What points to the body rather than the trim

Water appearing inside the wall, in a ceiling below, or a handle that turns without changing anything, all point past the trim. None of them are fixed by a new escutcheon.
