Gas line installation and testing, plus the taps, toilets, valves and disposals that make up everyday repair work.
Gas work needs a licensed plumber. We size lines for the load they actually carry and pressure-test them before anything is covered up. Alongside that sits the everyday fixture work: a tap that will not stop dripping, a toilet running at night, a shower valve that has given up. Small jobs, but they are most of what a house actually needs.
Dripping faucets, running toilets, and worn-out shower valves waste water and money. We install and repair all major fixture brands, and we are happy to install fixtures you have already purchased. More on fixtures & faucets in San Jose.
Adding a gas range, moving a dryer, or plumbing a backyard BBQ island? We run new gas lines, repair existing ones, and pressure-test for safety, all to code. More on gas line services in San Jose.
A toilet that refills in the night is losing water from tank to bowl, and it is nearly always the flapper or the fill valve, and both are cheap and quick to replace. A toilet that rocks or weeps at the base is a different matter, because that is usually the wax seal and sometimes the flange underneath it, and water has been going into the floor for a while by the time anyone notices. We will tell you which one you have before we start pulling anything up. More on toilet repair & installation in San Jose.
A good-quality tap is usually worth rebuilding, because cartridges and seals are cheap and a well-made body outlasts several sets of internals. Where it stops being worth it is a builder-grade unit with plastic guts that will fail again in a year. If the flow has faded and the tap is not dripping, it is often just scale in the aerator. Unscrew it and look before you call anybody. We fit fixtures you supply, and we will say so if we think one will give you trouble. More on faucet repair & installation in San Jose.
A shower head dripping for a minute after you turn it off is just the arm draining and is perfectly normal. One that drips steadily for hours is the valve cartridge behind the wall, and that is the job. Temperature that wanders while somebody runs a tap elsewhere usually means a worn balancing spool. These are behind-the-wall repairs, so access matters. We will tell you on the phone whether yours is likely to need the tile opened. More on shower & tub valve repair in San Jose.
Describe what it is doing and we will tell you. Phone consultations do not cost anything, and if it is something you can sort out yourself we will say so.
We take emergency calls around the clock, seven days a week. Call at any hour and you get Dave, not an answering service reading off a script.
