Common Fixture Issues We Repair
Understanding fixture problems helps you catch issues early before they become costly. Here are the most common fixture repairs we handle in Coralville homes:
- Leaky Faucets: Often caused by worn-out washers or seals, wasting water and raising your bill.
- Low Water Pressure: Blockages or buildup in aerators and valves can reduce flow and effectiveness.
- Running Toilets: Typically due to flapper valve problems or float mechanism malfunctions.
- Dripping Showerheads: Mineral buildup and gasket wear are frequent causes.
- Loose Sink Handles or Spouts: Result from daily wear-and-tear or improper installation.
- Bathtub Drain Issues: Clogs from soap scum and hair are common culprits.
We also assist with fixture replacements when repairs are no longer cost-effective or safe.
