Minor Fixture Leaks
Dripping faucets and accessible fixture connections assessed for a handyman repair or a licensed-plumber referral.
A small drip rarely stays small — it feeds the water bill and quietly damages cabinets and floors. Many leaks at accessible fixture connections are a quick handyman fix. The first step is finding exactly where the water is coming from.
What’s included
- Faucet, supply-line and shut-off leak assessment
- Aerator, cartridge and washer replacement where applicable
- P-trap and accessible drain-connection tightening
- Fixture re-seating and re-sealing
- A clear call on whether a licensed plumber is the right next step
Signs it’s time
- A faucet that drips after it's turned off
- Damp cabinet bases or warped shelf bottoms
- A musty smell under the sink
- Water bills creeping up with no change in use
Accessible fixture-connection leaks are handyman work. In-wall leaks, main-line issues, sewer problems and anything requiring pipe replacement are referred to a licensed plumber.
Common questions
Can you find where the leak is coming from?
For accessible fixtures, yes — a lot of leaks look like they come from one place and actually start at another. We locate the source before recommending a repair.
What if it turns out to be inside the wall?
Then it belongs with a licensed plumber, and we'll say so rather than open a wall we shouldn't. We'd rather point you to the right trade than guess.
