Typical issues
- A faucet that drips after the handle is closed usually needs a cartridge or a supply-line washer, not a whole new sink.
- A toilet that runs often needs a fill valve or a flapper. If the bowl is slow, the clog may be past the fixture.
- An under-sink leak is commonly the trap, the dishwasher hose, or a shutoff that no longer closes.
- No hot water points at the water heater, the gas or power supply, or a failed mixing valve.
- A wet ceiling under a bathroom is often a failed wax ring, a shower valve, or a tub overflow.
