"The first pair that came, fixed it half way and suggested my husband go-to the vintage plumbing store the next day to get parts to complete the job. He tried but was unsuccessful.So we had to call them back on a Saturday. A different pair of plumbers came to finish the job. We ended up having to pay 3 times what we should have had to pay if the first guys had fixed it in the first place."

Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts
There are three main types of shower valves: pressure-balancing, thermostatic, and diverter. Pressure-balancing and thermostatic valves are both considered mixing valves because they regulate water flow and temperature, but they do so in different ways. A pressure-balancing valve senses changes in water pressure, such as from a flushing toilet, and adjusts the incoming hot and cold water to maintain a consistent temperature; these typically use a single knob. A thermostatic valve uses a thermostat to precisely control the water temperature and requires a separate control to adjust the water volume. A diverter valve directs the flow of water from one fixture to another, such as switching from a tub faucet to a showerhead in a tub-shower combination.

Just work slowly, and be ready to call a plumber if you’re unable to reach the clog from your drain or P-trap.
