Installing a Fiberglass Tub and Shower.

This is a great project for winter.  Imagine the hours of comfort and joy that you will derive from a brand-new shower and luxurious tub!  Hopefully, this is the year that you have decided to remodel your bathroom.  You certainly spend enough time in there.  Why not enjoy the experience to the fullest?

Here are some installation tips –

1.  In most cases, replace the shower valve while the wall framing is still exposed.
2.  Attach the overflow pipe to the tub prior to the installation.
3.  Apply putty to the threaded portion of the strainer.
4.  Install the trip lever from inside the tub.
5.  Very carefully set the tub into place against the wall studs.

There are many other steps.  It doesn’t seem like a DIY job does it?  It is, in fact one of the many talents of Snohomish master plumber Shawn Allen.  He is a Seattle area bath tub and shower installation expert.  Now that you have saved for the project, make it come to life by calling Shawn at (425) 367-4744.

Look for that Leak.

This time of year, you may notice a tell-tale sign of water leaking into your home.  First of all, check your toilets.  Make sure that no valve is stuck then check your water heater.  Those cranky appliances have a way of slowly giving out as they age.  Then look at any and all appliances that have some sort of water connection.

Your first call might be to the utility company serving you in the Seattle area.  They are responsible if the meter needs to be repaired or replaced.  The great news is this…the utility company is responsible by law to reimburse you for any and all overages that you may have paid during the leakage.

When the problem occurs in your castle with the water line itself then you need a master plumber.  In Snohomish and the surrounding area that call should be made to Shawn Allen.  He will come to your home and either replace, repair, or re-route your water line.  For all general plumbing needs keep this number handy (425) 367-4744.
