One-Piece Showers

One-piece showers offer the least possibility for problems of all the various types of showers. Because of their one-piece construction, leaks in the walls are nearly unheard of. Unless the unit is cracked, you can rule out wall leaks.

Valve Escutcheons

The valve escutcheons on showers are one source of mystery leaks. Just as was described in the last chapter, these escutcheons can let water penetrate the shower wall.
The escutcheons used for single-handle valves are frequently equipped with sponge-type gaskets. These gaskets are factory installed on the escutcheons and do a good job of preventing unwanted leaks.
Two-handle shower valves generally require a gasket or a putty seal to be placed behind the escutcheons. If these seals are missing or have deteriorated, water can find its way into the wall. A visual inspection can reveal the possibility of this type of leak, but a water test is the only way to be certain the escutcheons are not responsible for leaks.
Unfortunately, many showers don’t have access panels that allow easy inspection of the shower valve. Bathtubs that use waste and overflows with mechanical joints are required to have access panels, but showers are not.
The lack of an access panel greatly reduces a plumber’s ability to make sound judgment calls on problems related to showers. It may be necessary to cut into a wall to gain access in the case of stubborn leaks, but there are ways to make reasonable assumptions without butchering a wall. To expound on this, let’s look at various circumstances on a step-by-step basis to see how cutting into walls and ceilings can be avoided.

Tubs That Won’t Hold Water

Tubs that won’t hold water generally require an adjustment to the tub waste. It is possible for water to leak around the trim ring of the tub drain, but the problem is usually with the adjustment of the tub waste. If there is no water leaking from under the tub, you can rest assured the cause is in the tub waste adjustment. There are several different types of tub wastes in use, and each of them can present its own type of trouble. With some types of wastes, it is necessary to make adjustments in the trip mechanism. Others require the replacement of a seal or an entire stopper.

Toe-touch wastes

Toe-touch wastes don’t contain any internal adjustment mechanisms. This type of waste depends on the stopper to hold water in a bathtub. If a toe-touch waste is allowing water to leak out of the tub and down the drain, there are three options available to you.
Begin your troubleshooting by turning the stopper clockwise. If the stopper is not screwed into the drain far enough, water can leak past its seal. If the stopper is screwed into the drain properly, remove it and inspect the seal. To be sure the problem is with the toe-touch stopper, install a rubber stopper in the drain and test the tub. If water doesn’t leak past the rubber stopper, you have identified the cause of your problem; it is the toe-touch stopper.
Once you know the stopper is causing the trouble, you can replace the entire stopper with a new one. It may be possible to replace the seal only, but with the low cost of replacement stoppers, I would replace the whole unit to be sure of correcting the problem without a callback.

Consultation With An Auto Accident Lawyer

If you get into a car accident, you need to get a consultation from an auto accident lawyer. The consultation will help you determine your next steps and how much making a claim will cost you. This is one of the most important things you should remember to do when you get into an auto accident, along with several other important things.

What to Do After an Auto Accident

When you get into an auto accident, the first thing you should do is check for any physical injuries. And whether or not there are injuries involved, it would be best if you call for medical attention immediately.

Right after that, make sure to call the police as well. A police officer who attends to the scene will make a report about the accident. For your information, get the accident report number from the police officer.

You should also talk to the other party involved in the accident. Exchange important information such as names, addresses, phone numbers, insurance policy numbers, and the driver’s license number. Jot down information about the vehicle as well, such as the car’s model, make, color, license plate, and any special features. Examine all damages to both cars.

Also, refrain from getting into an argument, regardless of whose fault the accident was. Also, in certain situations, be aware that there is a possibility that the driver at fault may try to flee from the accident.

If, however, you are found to be at fault, explain the accident to the police officer but do not tell him that you are at fault. Also, avoid discussions about physical injuries. You need to get legal advice before you make any claims or delve into such topics.

Next, call your auto insurance company. You need to provide the company with all the information regarding the accident that you have collected. You also have to describe the accident to your insurance agent so he or she can help you out from that point on.

It is also important to talk to an auto accident lawyer. Most car accident lawyers offer a free consultation. So make sure to look for a lawyer who’s willing to give you free consultation with no hassle and no obligation. Also, make sure you choose your car accident lawyer carefully.

You can use the consultation in choosing your final lawyer, but when you are seeking free consultations, don’t forget to screen the lawyers nonetheless. Choose a lawyer who specifically agrees to keep your consultation confidential.

Why get a Consultation From a Car Accident Lawyer

In getting a consultation from an auto accident lawyer, the lawyer will assess the accident you were involved in. Based on these assessments, he or she will give you advice on your rights as the victim of the car accident and of your options or what you can do.

There are many courses of action possible in such cases; it is the lawyer’s responsibility to present these options and explain them to you fully then give his or her suggestion on the best course of action you can take.

The consultation from an auto accident lawyer can help you compare different auto accident lawyers. The way the lawyers transact and provide you with initial consultation and service can say a lot about how they will work with you in case you hire them for your car accident claim.

Without consultation from an auto accident lawyer, you might choose the wrong lawyer or you might not get the compensation that you want. Also, your consultation can tell you what rights you have and just how much you can ask for compensation.

How to Get a Consultation or Consultation

If you want to get a consultation, you can search online for lawyers who can help you out. Most websites that represent lawyers or law firms will tell you whether they offer free consultations or not. You can present your case online and get instant advice.

On the other hand, you can also get contact numbers from the website or look some lawyers up in the phone book and ask for free consultations over the phone.

Most consultations can be provided on the same day or on the day after the request. Since car accidents should be acted upon as soon as possible, go with a car accident lawyer who can give you your free consultation from an auto accident lawyer as soon as possible.

If you do not find the advice to your liking, these free consultations are often free from obligation, so you don’t have to seek further legal counsel with the lawyer who provided the advice.

But even without such obligation, don’t hesitate to ask the lawyer about tips on how to make a successful claim, and so on. The way they handle these questions and provide you with answers you need will help motivate you to seek their help and service, so they are often prepared to give you the answers you are looking for.

If you want to go in for an appointment, don’t hesitate to request for one with your lawyer. This will help you discuss the case better.
