Mountain Man Plumbing left this Kohler single-handle shower control working again after same-trip service in Sandy, UT.

We were called out to Sandy because this Kohler shower valve had no hot water. Upon inspection we determined the balance spool had gone bad. That’s the part that mixes and balances the hot and cold so you actually get temperature control at a single-handle tub/shower valve.

We shut the water down, pulled the handle and trim, and got into the valve body. The failed balance spool came out of the cartridge area so we could put in a standard replacement. This job stayed in the normal single-handle shower cartridge replacement lane—no seized extractors, no special-order parts.

Luckily we roll prepared and always have 400-plus parts on our vans, so we had what we needed right there. We installed the replacement, restored water, checked for leaks, and verified proper hot and cold operation and temperature control.

We got it done same trip, no drama.

Mountain Man Plumbing 79 Google reviews Write a review Posted on Google Liz Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super helpful and informative. Communicated well and was punctual! Posted on Google Nathan Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tyler from Mountain Man Plumbing replaced my in-house main water shutoff valve and the pressure reducing valve (PRV) with a very practical new system that enables me to view the line pressure coming in and any drops in pressure easily. Very good looking workmanship.

Prior to the work Tyler came out to my home and provided an estimate on the work, and stuck to the estimate. He's been easy to work with, cleaned up after himself, and also allowed me to change an appointment close to my originally planned estimate appointment over the phone. The website is also easy to use and efficient for scheduling an estimate. Thank you! Posted on Google Jeremy Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had a great experience with Mountain Man Plumbing. Tyler showed up right on time, was professional, and got everything taken care of faster than expected—finishing the entire job in less than a day. He replaced our water heater, took care of the valves, and installed a new expansion tank, all with great attention to detail.

Everything is working perfectly now, and the whole process was smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend Tyler and the team if you’re looking for reliable, efficient plumbing work! Posted on Google Dana Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tyler was very professional, polite and honest. Instead of trying to sell me new parts or a whole new water heater he showed me that some of the heating elements just needed cleaned. I would recommend this company for anyone looking for honest help to get the right fix without getting ripped off. Posted on Google Kyle Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Honest, thorough (caught a problem a couple people had missed), on time/reliable Posted on Google Barb Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Efficient, clean, and knowledgeable. Posted on Google Wendy Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tyler was great! Hard to find a plumber who preps for a service call like he did. He asked questions before he came over to fix a shower valve so he could make sure he had the right parts for the fixture so he was as efficient as possible when he got here. Communication was great prior to the service call and during. Fixed everything I needed in a couple of hours for a very reasonable price. Posted on Google Ellen Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service, fair pricing, quality work. I feel lucky to have found Tyler Nerdin at Mountain Man Plumbing! Posted on Google Karthik Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tyler was great. He kept his schedule and his work was flawless. Definitely knows his craft. Posted on Google Jon Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service. Tyler updated everything that had been missed with my old water heater, even unplugged my floor drain. Highly recommended.
