In the battle against stubborn calcification and seizing, your faucet is often the unsung hero. However, without proper care and maintenance, it can fall victim to irreversible damage, as seen in these unfortunate images of a valve and cartridge struggling against the odds.
Our dedicated technicians faced a tough challenge when attempting to service and repair this faucet. Despite their best efforts, the cartridge became completely stuck inside the valve body, leading to extensive damage. The telltale signs are evident – chewed-up brass and marks from various tools scattered across the cartridge top. Unfortunately, this scenario is all too common in homes without a proper flow-tech system in place.
But fear not! There’s a solution to avoid such plumbing nightmares. Investing in a flow-tech system is the key to ensuring the longevity of your faucets and preventing costly repairs down the line. These systems work tirelessly to protect your valves and cartridges from the harmful effects of calcification and seizing, ultimately saving you time, money, and headaches.
Don’t let your faucet suffer the same fate. Take proactive steps to safeguard your plumbing infrastructure by incorporating a flow-tech system into your home maintenance routine. Whether you’re dealing with a plumbing emergency or simply seeking peace of mind, our team is here to help.
Give us a call at 905-597-8555 to learn more about the benefits of flow-tech systems and how they can revolutionize your plumbing experience. Let’s rescue your faucets and save your valves together!
