Serving Marana, AZ and northwest Tucson
A dripping faucet, a leaking sink or a garbage disposal that only hums. We repair the fixtures you use every day, and install new ones when you are ready for an upgrade.
Faucets, sinks, disposals and shower valves are the parts of your plumbing that you touch every day, so they wear out first. A slow drip, a stiff handle or a little water in the cabinet is easy to live with for a while. Over time it wastes water, stains the fixture and damages the cabinet or wall behind it.
Most fixture problems come down to a worn cartridge, seal, supply line or connection. We carry common parts and can usually repair the fixture in one visit. When a fixture is corroded or parts are no longer available, we will say so and install a replacement of your choice.
Drips, leaks at the base, stiff handles and low flow.
Jammed, leaking or dead units repaired or replaced.
Leaking traps, loose drains and new sink installation.
Dripping shower heads, hard-to-turn handles and temperature swings.
Outdoor faucets that leak, drip or have split in a freeze.

An honest guide to which choice usually makes sense.
We find where the leak or fault actually is.
You get the price to repair, and to replace if that is the better value.

The repair is tested under normal use and the work area is left clean.
If a simple repair solves it, that is what we recommend. The decision is always yours.
If you live in Marana you have seen the white crust on shower heads and faucet tips. That scale is also forming inside the fixture. It clogs aerators and shower heads, scores the cartridges and seals that control the water, and makes handles stiff. It is the main reason faucets here start dripping sooner than the manufacturer expects.
Cleaning aerators a few times a year helps. So does replacing old supply lines and angle stops, which stiffen and seize with mineral buildup. For a lasting improvement, look at water softeners and filtration.
Outdoor hose bibs deserve a check after any hard freeze. A split may not show until the faucet is turned on in spring.
Yes. A faucet that drips once per second wastes more than 3,000 gallons of water in a year, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The drip also stains sinks and tubs with mineral deposits that are hard to remove.
The repair is usually a cartridge or a set of seals, and it is one of the least expensive plumbing jobs there is. If the faucet is leaking under the sink instead of at the spout, deal with it quickly, since water in a cabinet leads to swollen wood and mold.
Yes. We install customer-supplied fixtures. We may recommend against very low quality products that are prone to leaking.
Not necessarily. It may be jammed. If it cannot be freed or it leaks from the body, it should be replaced.
Scale in the aerator or cartridge is the usual cause. If every faucet is weak, the problem is pressure or piping.
The pressure-balancing cartridge in the shower valve is worn or scaled. It can usually be replaced without changing the valve.
