anyone know a good plumber?

I finished my basement and when we put the shower in, my plumber thought that it was a broken valve causing the shower to not work properly.. I have sense had a valve replaced under warranty and it still does not work.... so I'm looking for a plumber with reasonable rates that could help me out.

 

PM me if you need more details.

 

Thanks!

the valve kit (Delta) came with this plastic cap to test to make sure everything works.... if I screw that cap in instead of the valve, it sprays out the shower head (hot and cold) but if I put in the valve, nothing comes out... at first I was told it was the valve, so I called Delta, got another valve, and it is doing the same thing.

Have you tried manually turning the valve without the handle to make sure everything moves freely?

the valve is a cartridge... I have tried turning it and it appears to turn ok...

 

give me a few, I'll go snap some pictures and post what it is so it will make more sense.

tried it both ways... plus there are notches in it making it difficult to put in backwards... the only weird thing is that when I put the handle on, it only will travel about 1/4 turn before it stops.... I kind of figured that it should have more travel room than that, but wouldn't know for sure. I tried messing with the one valve allowing more travel room and it didn't seem to help.
