Toilets
Toilets cause trouble in a few ways: running after a flush, rocking or leaking at the base, or refusing to flush. Each points to a different part, from a flapper to the wax seal.
Toilet, Faucet and Fixture Repair in Hoboken
Toilet, faucet and fixture repair handles the running toilets, dripping faucets, worn shower valves and jammed garbage disposals around the house, repairing the fixture where that works and replacing it where it does not.
Describe the fixture and what it is doing on the call, and we will go over repair versus replacement and set up a free estimate.
Fixtures we repair
Faucets
Washers, seats and cartridges wear out inside a faucet, which shows up as a drip or a stiff handle. A faucet whose body has failed gets replaced outright.
Shower and tub valves
Three problems bring a shower valve in for work: water that will not shut off, water that will not mix to a steady temperature and a leak behind the wall. Some need a new cartridge, others a new valve.
Garbage disposals
A jammed disposal hums without turning. One that drips from underneath has a failed seal or housing. In either case the job ends with a clear-out, a repair or a fresh unit.
Fixture swaps and the permit question
Under New Jersey’s code, replacing faucets and their working parts, valves including shower valves, and traps all count as ordinary plumbing maintenance. So does swapping a fixture for a similar one while the piping arrangement stays the same. None of it needs a permit, inspection or notice to the enforcing agency.
Changing the layout
Moving a toilet or sink, or changing the piping behind a fixture, changes the piping arrangement, so the rule above does not cover it. Describe your plan on the call and we will talk it through.
Pipes behind the wall can be the real cause of a fixture problem, which is why the drain cleaning and leak detection pages sit close to this one. The homepage has the full list of services.
