Require license, plumber - upstairs shower/tub

$500

Details

I would like to have the upstairs shower/tub inspected regarding a noise issue that occurs when the water is turned on. Here are the symptoms: * The home is approximately 22 years old.
 * The noise occurs only when someone turns on the upstairs shower/tub.
 * It sounds like a light knocking, tapping, or chattering noise.
 * The noise is much less severe now than it was originally.
 * Another plumber recently adjusted the main water pressure regulator/valve near the main water line in the garage, which significantly reduced the noise.
 * Water pressure was checked and was found to be within the normal range.
 * The remaining sound appears to travel through the wall from the upstairs bathroom and can sometimes be heard in areas below.
 Before replacing the entire shower valve, I would like to determine whether the issue could be related to: * The pressure-balance cartridge
 * The shower cartridge
 * A loose pipe support or pipe vibration
 * The valve body itself
 * Another plumbing component
 Could you please provide: 1. Your inspection/diagnostic fee.
 2. Whether the inspection fee can be applied toward any future repair.
 3. Your opinion on the most likely cause based on the symptoms above.
 4. Your availability to inspect the issue.
 My goal is to identify the root cause before proceeding with any major valve replacement. Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you. Gena Beamon
