Professional Faucet Repair and Restoration Services
Faucet malfunctions manifest through various symptoms including persistent dripping, reduced water pressure, handle stiffness, temperature control issues, and visible corrosion around bases and connections. Our family-owned company has perfected repair techniques for compression, ball, cartridge, and ceramic disk faucets over our 15 years serving homeowners. Each faucet type requires specific expertise and replacement components, which our senior technicians maintain in fully stocked service vehicles for immediate repairs during scheduled appointments or 24/7 emergency calls.
Kitchen faucets endure particularly heavy usage, averaging 40 activations daily in typical households. Pull-down sprayers develop leaks at connection points, while single-handle models experience cartridge wear affecting temperature mixing valves. Bathroom faucets face different challenges including aerator clogs from sediment accumulation and handle loosening from repeated operation. We provide comprehensive evaluations identifying whether repairs offer long-term value or if replacement better serves homeowner interests, always maintaining full transparency about options and associated benefits.
Toilet Repair Excellence and Water Conservation
Toilet fixtures account for approximately 30% of residential water consumption, making proper function essential for conservation and cost control. Common toilet problems we address include phantom flushing caused by deteriorated flappers, continuous running from faulty fill valves, weak flush performance from partial clogs or worn components, and tank-to-bowl leaks requiring new gaskets and hardware. Our diagnostic process examines all internal mechanisms, water level adjustments, chain tensions, and seal integrity to ensure comprehensive solutions.
Modern toilet designs incorporate dual-flush technology and pressure-assist mechanisms requiring specialized knowledge for proper repair and adjustment. We maintain expertise across all major manufacturers and models, understanding unique characteristics affecting repair approaches. Tank components typically last five to seven years before requiring replacement, though water quality and usage patterns significantly influence longevity. Our technicians explain replacement timing recommendations based on actual component conditions rather than arbitrary schedules.

Showerhead and Bathtub Fixture Solutions
Shower and bathtub fixtures present unique repair challenges due to concealed plumbing connections and moisture exposure concerns. We frequently repair:
- Diverter valves that fail to properly redirect water between tub spouts and showerheads
- Mixing valves causing temperature fluctuations or scalding risks
- Showerhead connections developing leaks behind walls requiring precise diagnosis
- Drain assemblies with worn stoppers affecting proper drainage
- Pressure balance cartridges preventing consistent water temperature
Anti-scald valves now required by plumbing codes need periodic adjustment and eventual replacement to maintain safety standards. Our repair services include thorough testing ensuring proper temperature limits while maintaining comfortable shower experiences.
