: : Could it be that water coming out of shower refers to the drain, not the faucets. A little Pennsylvania Dutch dialog?

: : : Yes, get a plumber that knows how to fix faucets, not recommend "back flow" whatever that is.

: : : : I recently had a plumber replace the stems in the hot and cold water handles - and also snake my tub drain. Since then the water has stopped coming out of the shower. Since I am not a bath person - this causes me a real problem. The plumber recommended back flow - I think that was what it was called. We tried this and it was no help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Debris may have washed into the shower head. Remove it and check your flow. If not it may be debris in the diverter in the cross of the faucet body. LonnythePlumber
