Why Does My Shower Not Get Hot Water?

We have many phone calls in Lake Mary and the Orlando Florida area and with these many calls the customers are not sure what is going on or have many common questions which we have received over the last year. Over the last 5 years or so our Lake Mary plumbers have encountered this question a lot and most of it has to do with the economic down turn in the economy and many people lost there homes which homes then sat vacant for months or even years which affects the single handle shower valves and the ability for it to produce hot water. The single handle shower valves have a balancing system in it with an anti scald device built in. If the shower valve does not get used for a long period of time the balancing pin gets stuck and will not let hot water through. If this is the case we suggest calling a Lake Mary plumber to make the nessasary repairs to get hot water to flow once again. Most of the time it is not a big repair cost. If you have a home in Lake Mary where you have a bathroom that you do not use often we suggest  turning on the shower valve from cold to hot at least once a month to prevent this from happening. If you are having a problem with your shower that is not giving you hot water, please give Drain Genie Plumbing call at 407-519-1020. We can handle all your Lake Mary plumbing needs.
