FAQs About Plumbing Repairs
How soon should I fix a dripping faucet?
Immediately. Even a slow drip can waste hundreds of gallons monthly and often signals a worn cartridge or washer.
My water pressure is weak only at one bathroom sink—is that a big issue?
Localized low pressure usually points to an aerator clog or failing faucet cartridge. It’s a quick, affordable fix.
Can I supply my own kitchen faucet for you to install?
Absolutely. We’re happy to install homeowner‑supplied fixtures as long as they meet local code.
Do you pull permits for fixture replacements?
Yes. If the city requires a permit, we handle the paperwork and schedule the inspection.
