Toilet, faucet and disposal repair
Fixture problems are the most common plumbing calls and usually the quickest to fix. A running toilet, a dripping faucet or a jammed disposal is often a worn part a plumber can replace in one visit, and replacing the whole fixture makes sense mainly when it's old, cracked or hard to find parts for.

Toilets, faucets & disposals services
Toilet repair
A toilet that runs needs a new flapper or fill valve. One that rocks or leaks at the base needs a new wax ring and possibly a flange repair. A toilet that clogs every week may have a partial blockage in the drain line or a low-flow design that can't keep up.
Faucet & sink repair
A dripping faucet usually needs a new cartridge or washer. Low flow often means a clogged aerator. A leak under the sink is usually a loose drain slip nut, a failing supply line or a worn shutoff valve.
Garbage disposal repair
A disposal that hums but won't spin is jammed; one that does nothing has tripped its reset button or lost power. A disposal leaking from the bottom of the unit has a failed internal seal and needs to be replaced.
How toilets, faucets & disposals problems start
Small fixture leaks waste more water than most people expect. A toilet with a worn flapper can run silently all day, and a faucet drip adds up over a month. Fixing them is usually cheap compared with the water they waste.
Most fixture work is done without opening walls: replacing a fill valve or flapper, a faucet cartridge, supply lines and shutoff valves under the sink, or the wax ring under a toilet. A loose or rocking toilet is worth fixing early because a failed seal can rot the subfloor.
The services below cover toilets, faucets and sinks, and garbage disposals.
When to call a plumber
- A toilet that runs, refills on its own or rocks on the floor
- Water on the floor around the base of a toilet
- A dripping faucet or one that's hard to turn off
- Water under the sink or a cabinet floor that's swollen
- A disposal that hums but won't spin, or leaks underneath
- Shutoff valves that won't close all the way
Choosing the right fix
Repair or replace the toilet?
Internal parts are inexpensive and fix most running toilets. Replace the toilet if the tank or bowl is cracked, it clogs constantly, or you want a lower-flow model to cut water use.
Faucet cartridge or new faucet?
A quality faucet can be rebuilt with a new cartridge or seals. A builder-grade faucet with corroded parts is often worth replacing, especially if the shutoff valves under the sink need replacing too.
Disposals
A jammed disposal can often be freed with the hex key in the bottom of the unit after turning off the power. A disposal leaking from the body has failed and needs replacing.
