Light Plumbing Repairs Without the Heavy Price Tag
Professional plumbing repairs that don't require a full plumbing company's overhead costs
Why Pay Contractor Rates for Simple Repairs?
No Company Overhead
Large plumbing companies charge $125-200/hour to cover trucks, employees, insurance, and advertising. I keep costs down with lean operations.
Straightforward Pricing
No trip charges, diagnostic fees, or "emergency" surcharges. You get honest pricing for the work that needs to be done.
Right-Sized Solutions
I focus on repairs and replacements you actually need—not upselling entire system replacements when a simple fix will do.
Plumbing Services I Provide
These are common issues that seem intimidating but don't require heavy equipment or a crew—just experience and the right approach.
Faucet & Fixture Replacement
A dripping faucet or outdated fixture seems simple, but the shut-off valves, supply lines, and mounting can be tricky. I handle the connections, test for leaks, and make sure everything functions properly—without charging you for a service truck and two-person crew.
- Kitchen and bathroom faucet installation
- Sink and lavatory replacement
- Shower head and tub spout upgrades
- Supply line replacement
Toilet Repairs & Replacement
Running toilets waste water and money. Leaking seals can damage your floor. These repairs often look complicated to a homeowner, but they're routine work when you know what you're doing. I'll diagnose the issue and fix it right—no need to pay plumber rates for a simple flapper or wax ring.
- Internal mechanism repair (flapper, fill valve, flush valve)
- Wax ring and seal replacement
- Complete toilet replacement and installation
- Running toilet diagnosis and repair
Leak Detection & Repair
Water dripping under your sink or through the ceiling can cause real damage if ignored. Finding and fixing leaks doesn't require specialized equipment for most residential situations—just patience and experience. I'll locate the source, make the repair, and confirm it's sealed properly.
- Under-sink leak repair
- Pipe fitting and connection tightening
- Supply line replacement
- Drain trap repair and replacement
Drain Clogs & Minor Stoppages
Before you call a drain service and pay $200+ for a truck to show up, let me try the basics. Many clogs can be cleared with a snake, proper technique, and a little persistence. If it needs heavy equipment or camera inspection, I'll tell you honestly—but often, it doesn't.
- Sink and lavatory drain clearing
- P-trap cleaning and clearing
- Basic auger/snake work
- Pop-up drain repair and adjustment
Shut-Off Valve Replacement
Old shut-off valves can seize up or leak when you need them most. Replacing them seems intimidating because you're dealing with the main water supply, but it's straightforward work with the right approach. I'll swap them out efficiently so you have reliable shut-offs when you need them.
- Under-sink shut-off valve replacement
- Toilet supply valve replacement
- Outdoor hose bib valve repair
- Compression fitting and connection work
What I Don't Handle
I focus on repairs and replacements that don't require heavy equipment or specialized licensing. For these jobs, you'll need a licensed plumber:
Main line repairs or replacements
Water heater installation
Sewer line work
Gas line installation
