A thermostatic valve holds an exact preset temperature regardless of pressure changes anywhere in the house. Thermostatic valves cost more upfront and are typically used in master bath upgrades or remodels.

A: Signs of a shower pan leak include soft or spongy flooring outside the shower, visible water staining on the ceiling of the room below the shower, a persistent mildew smell in the bathroom with no visible standing water, or grout lines that are darkened and soft near the shower base.
