Faucets, Fixtures & Toilets

Faucet and fixture service covers repair and installation of the plumbing you use every day: faucets, sinks, toilets, garbage disposals, and shower and tub valves. It ranges from fixing a dripping faucet or running toilet to a full fixture upgrade during a remodel. Our plumbers handle this everyday work across the Inland Empire, with up-front pricing you approve before work starts.

A toilet that keeps running usually has a worn flapper or a faulty fill valve. A leaky flapper lets water slip into the bowl, so the tank keeps refilling. To check, put a few drops of food coloring in the tank and wait 15 minutes without flushing. If color shows up in the bowl, the flapper is leaking. Fix it soon, since a running toilet wastes water around the clock.

A leaky faucet can often be repaired by replacing a worn cartridge, washer, or O-ring. Replacement makes more sense when the faucet is old or corroded, leaks from the body, or parts are hard to find. In hard water areas like the Inland Empire, mineral scale wears out cartridges sooner. A plumber can tell you which option costs less over time.

Don't put grease, oil, or fat down a garbage disposal, or fibrous and starchy foods like celery, potato peels, pasta, and rice. Hard items like bones and fruit pits can jam it, and coffee grounds and eggshells can build up in the drain. Run cold water while the disposal is on and for a few seconds after. Grease is a common cause of kitchen drain clogs.

Low pressure at just one faucet is usually caused by a clogged aerator or cartridge, often from mineral scale in hard water. Unscrew the aerator at the tip of the faucet and rinse out any debris. If that doesn't help, the cartridge or supply valve may be the problem. Low pressure across the whole house is different and can point to failing pipes - see repiping.
