What a Shower Head Installation Includes, Sealed and Tested

The fixture is the easy part. What you are paying for is the arm, the threads and the seal behind the wall staying dry afterward.

• Old head removed without twisting the shower arm inside the wall, which is how small jobs turn into drywall repairs
• Threads cleaned and re-taped rather than wrapped over old sealant
• Shower arm replaced when it is corroded, not reused because it is still attached
• Run under full pressure and checked at the wall joint before we pack up
• Old fixture taken away and the tile wiped down

Call 615-289-8216 and tell us what you want installed.

Blocked Nozzles Are Usually Scale, Not a Failed Shower Head

Before you replace it, it is worth knowing what is actually clogging it.

Metro Water Services classifies Nashville water as moderately hard at 100.5 mg/L and states that treatment does not remove hardness, which is why nozzles crust over and spray patterns wander, per its water quality report.

• Rubber nozzle tips can often be cleared, and we will tell you when a swap is not needed
• Internal screens and flow restrictors clog before the head itself fails
• A head that leaks at the ball joint is worn out, not dirty, and cleaning will not save it
• Pairing a replacement with a water filter slows the buildup on the new one

Rain Heads, Handhelds, Slide Bars and Dual Setups

You pick the fixture, and we make it fit the plumbing that is already in the wall.

• Fixed rain heads, including the ceiling-drop arms common in newer Franklin and Nolensville builds
• Handheld units on slide bars, with the bar anchored properly rather than into bare tile
• Dual setups combining a fixed head and a handheld on a diverter
• Filtered and high-pressure heads, plus WaterSense labeled models
• Accessibility-friendly handhelds with longer hoses and reachable mounts

Book it alongside grouting and caulking and the whole shower looks redone for a fraction of a remodel.

Bring the Shower Head You Picked Out

You chose the finish for a reason, and it should not cost extra to have it fitted.

• Install the head you already bought, from any store or showroom
• Send the model ahead, and the right tape, tools, and arm come with us
• Finish mismatch or an arm the head will not clear gets caught before it is installed
• Buying more than one? A whole house of bathrooms goes in on a single visit

What 2.5 GPM and the WaterSense Label Actually Mean

Every shower head sold in the US is capped at 2.5 gallons per minute, a federal standard in place since the Energy Policy Act of 1992, according to the Department of Energy.

The EPA WaterSense label goes further at 2.0 gpm or less, and heads earning it must also pass spray force and coverage testing. EPA puts showering at nearly 17 percent of residential indoor water use, close to 40 gallons a day for the average family, so the gap between 2.5 and 2.0 shows up on the bill.

A weak shower is far more often low household pressure or a clogged screen than the rating on the box.

When the Problem Is the Valve, Not the Shower Head

Replacing the head will not fix these, and you should not pay to find that out.

• Water still trickling from the head after the handle is off points to the cartridge in the valve
• Temperature swinging when a toilet flushes means the mixing valve, not the fixture
• A drip inside the wall or a stain on the ceiling below needs a licensed plumber, today
• No pressure anywhere in the house is a supply issue, not a bathroom one

We tell you which one you have before quoting a fixture you may not need.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a shower head replacement take?

A straightforward swap is quick. Time goes into a corroded arm, seized threads or a tiled surround that needs care, which is why the quote comes after we hear what is on the wall now.

Why is my shower head spraying sideways?

Scale on the nozzles. Metro Water Services classifies Nashville water as moderately hard and notes that treatment does not remove hardness, so mineral buildup on nozzle tips and internal screens is the usual cause.

What is the maximum legal flow rate for a shower head?

Federal standards cap shower heads at 2.5 gallons per minute, in place since the Energy Policy Act of 1992. EPA WaterSense labeled heads use no more than 2.0 gpm and must also pass spray performance testing.

Will a low-flow shower head feel weak?

Not necessarily. WaterSense heads are tested for spray force and coverage, not just volume. Weak pressure is far more often a clogged screen or low household supply pressure than the rating.

Can I supply my own shower head?

Yes. Buy the fixture and finish you want from anywhere and we install it. Send the model number ahead so the correct arm, tape and tools come with us.

Can you install a rain head or a handheld on a slide bar?

Yes, including ceiling-drop rain arms, slide bars anchored properly rather than into bare tile, and dual setups running a fixed head and handheld off a diverter.

My shower drips after the handle is off. Is that the head?

No, that is the cartridge inside the valve. Replacing the head will not stop it. Valve and in-wall work goes to a licensed plumber and we will say so before quoting.

Can you do every bathroom in one visit?

Yes, and it is the cheapest way to do it. Call 615-289-8216 with the number of bathrooms and get one free quote covering all of them.
