Fixture Problems We Repair
Running or Cycling Toilet
Usually points to a worn fill valve or flapper. Left alone, it can waste a significant amount of water.
See repair cost guide →Clogged or Slow-Draining Toilet
A toilet that clogs repeatedly may point to a deeper line issue.
See drain cleaning →Shower or Tub Valve Leaks
Dripping after the shower is off, or a handle that’s hard to turn, usually means the internal cartridge needs attention.
See plumbing repair →Garbage Disposal Failure
Humming with no spin, no power, or a bad smell can have several causes.
Running, Leaking and Clogged Toilets
The fill valve controls water coming into the tank; when it fails, the toilet runs constantly. The flapper seals the tank from the bowl between flushes — a warped or mineral-crusted flapper is one of the most common causes of a phantom-running toilet. At the base, the wax ring keeps water from leaking where the toilet meets the floor. Before we touch anything, we locate the toilet’s water shutoff so the fix is controlled and contained.
Faucet, Sink and Shower Valve Repairs
Most faucets rely on a cartridge to control water flow and temperature — a worn cartridge is the usual reason behind a drip. If pressure drops at just one faucet, a clogged aerator is often the simple explanation. Under the sink, the P-trap holds water to block sewer gas — a loose or corroded trap can leak even when the faucet itself is fine. The shower cartridge inside the wall controls temperature and flow for the shower or tub.
Garbage Disposal Repair and Replacement
A disposal that hums but doesn’t spin is often jammed and may just need to be cleared and reset. One that’s silent could be tripped at the reset button — or an electrical issue. If you smell burning or see any sign of an electrical fault, unplug the unit or shut off its breaker first, and don’t reach inside while it’s powered.
Repair Versus Fixture Replacement
Repair usually makes sense when the fixture is in good shape and the issue is one worn part. Replacement is often the better value when a fixture is old, the same problem keeps recurring, or parts are hard to source. Upgrades — a low-flow toilet, a different faucet finish — are also a reasonable time to replace rather than repeat-repair.

Fixture Repair FAQs
Is a running toilet worth fixing right away?
Yes. A running toilet can waste a large amount of water over just a few days, and the fix — usually a fill valve or flapper — is typically a straightforward, contained repair.
Why does my faucet still drip after I tightened the handle?
Dripping is almost always caused by a worn cartridge, washer or O-ring inside the faucet, not the handle itself.
Can a garbage disposal be repaired, or does it need to be replaced?
It depends on the cause. A jam or a tripped reset can often be cleared. Persistent leaks, electrical faults, or an older unit that keeps failing are usually better addressed with replacement.
How do I know if I should repair or replace a fixture?
A single worn part in an otherwise sound fixture is worth repairing. A fixture that’s old or keeps having the same problem is usually a better candidate for replacement.
What should I do if my toilet overflows?
Stop using it, keep people and pets away from the affected area, and shut off the water at the toilet’s supply valve if you can safely reach it.
Do you install fixtures I’ve already purchased?
In many cases, yes — including toilets, faucets and disposals sourced by the homeowner. Mention the fixture when you request service.
