NEED EMERGENCY SERVICE?
Most homeowners don't think about their plumbing fixtures until a problem arises, leading to a need for repair or replacement. Luckily, you can often fix common issues and extend your fixtures' lifespan with a few simple steps. When replacement is necessary, rest assured there are plenty of options to fit your needs and budget.
It's common for plumbing fixtures to need occasional repair or replacement. Whether you're dealing with a leaky faucet, a clogged drain, or another issue, knowing how to approach the problem is key. Sometimes, you can handle repairs yourself; other times, a professional plumber is necessary.
For minor issues, you can often do it yourself. For example, a leaky faucet might just need a washer replacement. A slow-draining sink, often caused by soap scum, hair, or food particles, can sometimes be cleared with a plunger or a plumber's snake.
Sometimes, replacement is the only option. If your toilet constantly runs, you might need to replace the flapper valve. When replacing a fixture, first turn off the water supply to that area. Then, use a wrench to loosen the nuts and bolts holding the old fixture in place before removing it.
If you're unsure about a repair or replacement, it's always best to consult a professional plumber. They can assess the situation, offer expert advice, and have access to specialized tools that make the job easier and faster.
