What's Covered in Your Service

Our service covers everything from simple faucet leak repairs to more complex water leak repair situations. Whether it’s a toilet repair that involves replacing internal components or addressing water leaks in your basement, we handle residential plumbing issues of all sizes.

For fixtures and home appliances, we work on sinks, toilets, water heaters, and the connecting pipes and drains. Many Homewood homes have unique plumbing configurations, especially in older neighborhoods, and our technicians are familiar with these setups.

Our goal is always a permanent fix, not a temporary patch. That means identifying why your faucet keeps leaking or why your toilet keeps running, then addressing the root cause so you’re not calling for the same repair in a few months.

The cost depends entirely on what needs to be fixed. A simple faucet leak repair might run $100-200, while toilet repair typically ranges from $150-400 depending on what’s wrong. Water leak repair costs vary based on location and severity – a visible pipe leak is usually less expensive to fix than one behind a wall. The key is getting an accurate diagnosis first. Many plumbing problems have simple solutions that cost much less than homeowners expect, while others that seem minor might indicate bigger issues. That’s why transparent pricing starts with understanding exactly what’s wrong, not just guessing based on symptoms.
Most toilet repairs involve the internal components – the flapper, chain, fill valve, or flush valve that control how water flows in and out of the tank. If your toilet won’t stop running, won’t flush properly, or makes weird noises, it’s usually one of these parts. Our service includes diagnosing which component is causing the problem, replacing the faulty parts, and testing to make sure everything works correctly. Sometimes what seems like a toilet problem is actually an issue with water pressure or the supply line, which would be addressed as part of the repair. The goal is a toilet that flushes properly and then stops, without ongoing noise or water waste.
Most faucet leak repairs take 30 minutes to an hour once we identify what’s causing the leak. It could be a worn washer, damaged O-ring, or corroded valve seat – all relatively quick fixes with the right parts. The timing depends more on getting the right replacement parts than the actual repair work. Some older faucets use parts that aren’t standard anymore, which might require a special order. In those cases, we can often provide a temporary solution to stop the leak while waiting for parts, then return to complete the permanent repair. The key is stopping the water waste and potential damage as quickly as possible.
Yes, basement water leaks are actually pretty common in Homewood homes, especially older ones. Our repair approach depends on where the water is coming from – it could be a supply line, drain pipe, water heater connection, or even a sump pump issue. The first step is always identifying the source, because water can travel along pipes or floor joists before you see it, making the visible leak different from the actual problem location. Basement leaks need immediate attention because they can cause foundation issues, mold problems, and damage to stored items. Our service includes stopping the active leak, assessing any damage to surrounding areas, and making permanent repairs to prevent recurrence.
The main difference is transparency about what’s wrong and what it costs to fix it. You get a clear explanation of the problem and a written estimate before any work starts – no surprise charges or pressure to approve expensive work you might not need. We focus on permanent repairs rather than quick fixes that’ll break again in a few months. Many plumbing companies either rush through jobs or try to sell you on complete replacements when a simple repair would work fine. Our approach is to fix what’s actually broken, explain why it broke, and give you realistic expectations about how long the repair should last. You’re dealing with someone who shows up on time, cleans up afterward, and stands behind the work.
Many plumbing problems are preventable with the right approach. After completing a repair, we explain what caused the issue and what you can do to avoid it in the future. Sometimes it’s simple maintenance like not putting certain things down drains or checking toilet components periodically. Other times it’s recognizing early warning signs so you can address small issues before they become expensive problems. For older Homewood homes, there are often patterns to plumbing issues based on the age and type of pipes, fixtures, and water pressure in the area. Our goal is helping you understand your home’s plumbing system well enough to catch problems early and know when to call for professional help versus handling something yourself.
