No Hot Water in Bathtub Faucet

No Hot Water

Having no hot water in the bathroom faucet is no joke. It can get really frustrating preparing for the day with no hot water to wash your hands and face.

Losing hot water in your bathroom faucet is often a result of a valve cartridge or stem that has been clogged or damaged.

What is a bathroom faucet cartridge or stem?

The bathroom faucet cartridge or stem is the inner component of your bathroom faucet. The faucet cartridge or stem turns the water to your bathroom faucet on and off and also regulates temperature. 

What damages a bathroom faucet cartridge or stem?

Sediment

Many people do not know this, but the water system in the Chicagoland area can carry sediments, minerals, and sometimes small debris through the water lines. 

These sediments, minerals, and small debris can make it all the way to your bathroom faucet and get lodged in the bathroom faucet cartridge or stem. Unfortunately, the sediments, minerals, and debris present in your system can cause damage.

Cartridges and stems wear out over time. Your bathroom faucet is made in a way that allows us to remove the cartridge or stem since it is considered a wearable item. 

Replacement of the bathroom faucet cartridge or stem usually will solve the ‘no hot water in the bathroom’ issue.
