Wondering if anyone else has experienced this?
I live in Broadlands, settled last July 03. This past May (04) the first floor master bathroom shower stopped in the middle of my shower. I turned it off then back on and it was fine. I thought, [:0]hmmm, okay, but let it go.
It happened again the next day. [?] So I call VM Cust Care(less) and reported it - Atlas Plumbing comes out. Nice guy, he replease the innards of the faucet handle and says there was some debris in there that might have been blocking the flow. All seems well and it works fine for a week or so.
Then it happens again. :(
I'm pi$$ed, covered in soap, so I shake the handle. To my surprise it comes back on. I finish showering.
A week later, it happens again. More shaking the handle, and it restarts.
I call Atlas for another issue unrelated to the shower problem last week, and its the same guy. I mention the shower problem to him again, so he takes a look at it. Says the most he can do is replace the same part (forget what it was that replaced in May) but since he didn't have it on him I'd have to call it in again. I say, okay. Figure I'll call when I get a free minute.
Well of course the dang thing stops working this morning - again. :(
So after I finish thinking foul thoughts, snarling, :( swearing and marching upstairs to rinse off in the other shower, I call VM Cust Care(less) director (B Conner) and left a pointed msg that I need them to send somebody to figure out what exactly is going on. Hopefully they will call me Monday AM but, in the name of all that is holy - does ANYONE on here have ANY IDEA what is happening here? This is the 4th home I've owned (first one I had built myself though) and I've never experienced this problem anywhere else. HELP!
I'm on my way out to run errands today, so I problem won't be back to respond to any replies until later this evening, but if anyone has any suggestions, or has experienced this same problem, I'm eager to here from you, and about what you may have done to resolve it ...
Thank you sooo much!!!
