Why does my shower drip constantly in my Des Moines home? A constant drip usually means a worn valve cartridge or seal, often accelerated by hard-water buildup. We replace the worn part and stop the leak.
Why is my water pressure weak in the shower? Weak flow often comes from mineral buildup in the head or valve, or a partially closed valve. We clear or replace the restricted part to restore strong flow.
Why does the water temperature keep changing? Erratic temperature points to a failing cartridge or a pressure-balancing valve issue. We diagnose and repair it so your fixture stays steady.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured? Every Lazer plumber is fully licensed and insured, and we complete all work to code.

Bad valves, worn cartridges, a leak quietly running behind the wall—our licensed technicians fix the cause before it turns into water damage, backed by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. If you’re updating the whole bath rather than fixing one part, that’s our plumbing installation, one of the Des Moines plumbing services we offer.

Shower trouble tends to start small before it grows into a heavy-duty repair, often showing up in signs like:
• Low or inconsistent water pressure
• A faucet that drips or won’t shut off
• Trouble holding a set temperature
• Slow draining or a leak behind the wall
Tackling it early keeps a minor fix from becoming water damage behind the wall. Call (515) 212-6042 for your free shower repair estimate.

Lazer Home Services has handled shower repair across Des Moines since 2001, clearing the buildup that wears out cartridges and heads faster here than most expect. Call (515) 212-6042 to schedule your shower repair.

Common Problems We Repair

Showers develop a few recurring problems, especially against hard water. These are the three our plumbers repair most across the metro:

A dripping shower usually traces to a worn cartridge or valve seal. We replace the worn part with a quality component so the leak stops and stays stopped. We also check the surrounding fittings while we are in the wall, since one worn part often signals others nearby. In older homes around Beaverdale and Sherman Hill, hard-water buildup on aging valves is one of the most common causes we see. We keep common cartridges and valve parts on hand so many shower repairs finish in a single visit.

Mineral buildup from hard Des Moines water clogs heads and valves, weakening flow and causing temperature swings. We clear or replace the restricted part to restore strong, steady water. A fresh, properly sized head can also make a noticeable difference in everyday comfort. We can also recommend a fixture better suited to your water pressure for lasting comfort.

A slow shower drain or a leak behind the wall can quietly damage framing and floors. We clear the drain and find hidden leaks so the problem is fixed at the source. Restoring a comfortable, leak-free shower is one of those small fixes that makes daily life noticeably better.
