Faucet, Toilet & Fixture Plumbing in Savannah, GA

Running toilets

A toilet that refills on its own is leaking from the tank into the bowl. A new flapper or fill valve usually fixes it.

Dripping faucets

Worn cartridges and washers cause most drips. In older homes the shut-off valves under the sink may also need replacing.

Showers

Water that goes scalding when a toilet flushes means the valve isn't pressure-balanced. A modern valve makes the shower safer.

Disposals and dishwashers

Disposals jam on fibrous food and bones. Dishwashers need an air gap or high loop so dirty water can't siphon back.

Remodels

Moving fixtures or adding a bathroom means new supply and drain lines and a permit. Ask about replacing old pipe while walls are open; see repiping.

Rentals and vacation homes

Savannah and Tybee have many rental and second homes. Fixing small leaks between guests prevents bigger damage and complaints.

Water pressure

Very high pressure wears fixtures and hoses quickly. A pressure-reducing valve near the main, set correctly, protects every fixture in the house.

Accessible bathrooms

Walk-in showers, comfort-height toilets and grab bars make bathrooms safer. Grab bars need solid backing, so plan them before tiling.

Leaking supply hoses

Braided hoses under sinks and toilets wear out. If one looks rusty or bulged, replace it before it bursts.

Frequently asked questions

Can I replace a faucet myself?

Many people do. Bring in a plumber if the shut-offs are seized or the drain needs changing.

Why is my shower pressure low?

Mineral build-up in the shower head or a failing valve. Cleaning the head is the first step.
