Why does my toilet keep running?

Most often a worn flapper or a failing fill valve. Both are inexpensive parts. A constantly running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons a day, so it's worth fixing quickly.

Can a dripping shower be fixed without opening the wall?

Usually, yes. Most drips and temperature problems come from a worn valve cartridge, which can be replaced from the front of the valve.

My garbage disposal hums but won't turn. Is it dead?

Not necessarily. A humming disposal is often jammed and can be freed. If it leaks from the bottom, it has usually failed and should be replaced.

Do you install faucets and toilets I bought myself?

Yes. Tell us the model when you book so we can make sure the right supply lines and parts are on the truck.

Toilet, Faucet & Fixture Repair, Denver

The running toilet, the drip you hear at night, the disposal that hums and does nothing, the shower that won't stay hot. Small jobs, and the kind that cost real money in water or damage if they're left alone.

Toilets

Running or refilling on its own: usually a worn flapper or fill valve. A constantly running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons a day without anyone noticing.
Rocking or leaking at the base: a failed wax ring or loose closet bolts. Don't wait on this one: it soaks the subfloor.
Weak flush or frequent clogs: could be the toilet, or a partial clog further down the line. We'll tell you which.
Replacement: new toilets set level and sealed, with a new supply line and shutoff if the old one is corroded.

Faucets and sinks

Dripping faucets: worn cartridges, washers, and seats. Hard water wears these out faster across the Front Range.
Low flow from a scaled aerator or cartridge
New kitchen and bathroom faucet installs, including pull-down and touchless models
Leaking sink drains, P-traps, and supply lines

Garbage disposals

A disposal that hums but won't spin is often jammed and can be freed. One that leaks from the bottom has usually failed internally and needs replacing. We install new disposals with the right horsepower for your kitchen and check the dishwasher connection while we're there.

Showers and tubs

Shower valves that drip, run too hot or too cold, or won't shut off: usually a cartridge we can replace without opening the wall
Pressure-balance and thermostatic valve repairs
Tub spouts, diverters, and shower heads
New tubs and shower bases, including tub-to-shower conversions (photos below)
Valve replacement during a bathroom remodel

Small fixes worth doing before they're emergencies

Shutoff valves under sinks and toilets that won't turn or that drip when you touch them
Braided supply lines more than about 10 years old
A main water shutoff that's seized. You'll want it to work the day a pipe bursts.
High water pressure from a failed pressure-reducing valve: banging pipes, a running toilet, or a dripping water heater relief valve
Outdoor faucets that froze and split last winter

Rentals and turnovers
