General Plumbing Repair

General plumbing repair covers the everyday issues that keep a home or business running smoothly — a dripping faucet, a loose supply line, a fixture that won't quite seat right. Addressing small problems early helps prevent the larger failures that come from ignored wear.

Common problems and possible causes

Dripping faucet

Often a worn internal washer, cartridge, or O-ring. Replacing the worn part usually resolves the drip without replacing the whole fixture.

Running toilet

Frequently a flapper that no longer seals, a misadjusted fill valve, or a worn flush mechanism. Each has a straightforward repair path.

Loose or weeping shutoff valve

Compression fittings and valve packing can loosen with age. Tightening or replacing the packing often stops the weep without replacing the valve.

Helpful maintenance

Periodically check under-sink cabinets for moisture.
Exercise shutoff valves a couple of times a year so they don't seize.
Replace supply lines on an aging fixture before they fail.
