The smaller jobs still matter. A dripping faucet or a running toilet wastes water and money, and a bad install causes leaks later. I do these right the first time.
Faucets, toilets, garbage disposals, shutoff valves, hose bibs, supply lines, and crawl space moisture-related fixes like sagging supply runs. These are the jobs people put off, and the small leaks they cause add up on the bill and can rot a vanity base or a subfloor over time. If you bought a fixture and want it installed correctly, or you have one that drips, runs, or rocks, that is exactly the kind of call I take.
A faucet install usually runs $150 to $350. A standard toilet install is about $150 to $400. A garbage disposal swap runs $200 to $450 with the unit. Replacing a burst or worn hose bib runs $150 to $300 depending on access. Prices move with the fixture you choose and the shape of the existing connections, and you get a flat number before I start.
A fixture is only as good as the connection behind it. A toilet set without a fresh wax ring rocks and leaks at the base. A faucet hooked up to brittle old supply lines can drip inside the cabinet where you never see it. In homes with polybutylene, the old plastic shutoff valves get brittle too, and I replace them with quarter-turn brass while I am in there. Small parts cost little and prevent the callback six months later.
Yes, that is a common request and a smart way to save money. You pick the fixture you like from a store or online, and I install it correctly with fresh supply lines and seals. A faucet install usually runs $150 to $350 and a toilet about $150 to $400, depending on the condition of the existing shutoffs and connections. If the old shutoff valve is corroded or the supply lines are brittle, I will let you know before swapping them so there are no surprises and no slow leak after I leave.
Definitely, because a running toilet quietly wastes a lot of water and shows up on your Charlotte Water bill. Most of the time the fix is a worn flapper, a bad fill valve, or a float set too high, and those are inexpensive parts. Occasionally the whole tank's internals are worn and it makes sense to rebuild them at once. If the toilet itself is cracked, rocks on the floor, or is an old water-guzzling model, I will tell you honestly if repairing or replacing is the better use of your money.
Charlotte gets just enough hard freezes to catch people off guard. Water left in a hose or an old hose bib over a January cold snap freezes and splits the pipe inside the wall, and you find out in March when you turn it on and water runs into the wall instead of out the spout. A frost-free hose bib installed with the right slope prevents it. If yours already split, I can replace it for $150 to $300 and make sure the new one drains properly before next winter.
If your valves are the old multi-turn style, decades old, or attached to gray polybutylene pipe, then yes, sooner is better than later. Valves that never get turned seize up, and the worst time to find out is mid-flood. Modern quarter-turn ball valves cost around $40 to $80 each installed when I am already there for other work. Try each valve under your sinks once a year. Any that will not move, weep, or crumble at the handle are telling you they will not be there for you in an emergency.
One call gets you a diagnosis window, a flat price, and a plumber who shows up when promised.
