Toilets
Toilet trouble comes down to a worn part, a failed seal or a toilet past saving. A running tank, a leak at the floor and a rocking bowl each point to a different part, and the cause is confirmed first.
Toilet, Faucet and Fixture Repair in Rowlett
Four fixtures are described below, toilets, faucets, shower and tub valves and garbage disposals. Pick the one that is misbehaving, call us with what it does, and the plumber on the other end gives a free estimate for either fixing it or putting in a new one.
Each fixture is described below, followed by what Texas law says about permits for swapping one for a new one.
Fixtures and parts
Faucets
Kitchen, bathroom and laundry faucets get new cartridges and seals or are replaced outright. A patio spigot that split open in a hard frost is replaced the same way.
Shower and tub valves
Shower and tub valves that drip or mix poorly are rebuilt with a fresh cartridge. If the valve body itself has failed, it is replaced, which means opening the wall behind the tile.
Garbage disposals
Disposal trouble shows up as a jam, a hum with no grinding or a leak at the base. Each is repaired where it can be and replaced where it cannot, and the drain pipe connected beneath the sink is looked over at the same time.
Swapping a fixture and the permit rule
Texas law asks for a permit before plumbing is done. The jobs it leaves out are a short list, fixing a leak and swapping a lavatory or kitchen faucet, a ballcock or water control valve, a garbage disposal or a toilet.
Moving or adding fixtures
Moving a fixture to a new spot or adding one is not on that short list, so the permit that Texas law asks for before plumbing applies to that kind of work.
Fixture trouble can start in the pipes behind the wall, so drain cleaning and leak detection are the next pages to read, and the homepage lists everything else.
