Can I buy my own fixtures?

Often yes. Check with the plumber first so the fixture fits your valves and drains, and so you know how warranty coverage works.

Do I need to replace the shut-off valves under the sink?

If they're old and stiff, replacing them during a fixture job is a good idea. Old valves often leak or won't close fully when you need them.

Fixture Repair & Remodel Plumbing in Yakima, WA

Small fixes and big remodels both depend on what's behind the wall. A good plumber looks at the valves and pipes, not just the new faucet going on top.

Running toilets

A toilet that runs on its own wastes a surprising amount of water. Most of the time a worn flapper or a fill valve set too high is the cause. If replacing the flapper doesn't stop it, the flush valve seat or the tank bolts may need attention.

Dripping faucets

Drips usually come from a worn cartridge, washer or O-ring. Matching the part to the faucet brand makes the fix quick. Very old faucets may be easier to replace than to repair, especially if parts are hard to find.

Showers and tubs

Water too hot or too cold, a valve that won't shut off fully, or a stain spreading under the floor near the tub all need prompt attention. Shower valves sit inside the wall, so a plumber may need an access panel to reach them.

Planning a remodel

Moving a sink or toilet means moving drain and vent lines, which affects the floor and walls. Talk to a plumber before finalizing the layout. Older homes may also have galvanized supply pipe that's worth replacing while the walls are open.

Permits

Bigger plumbing jobs usually need a permit and inspection. Licensed contractors normally handle the paperwork; ask about it when you get a quote. Our Washington plumber guide lists other questions to ask.

Getting a quote

Describe the fixture or the project, the age of the house and any problems you've noticed. Send a request and a plumber will get in touch.

Water-saving upgrades

Swapping an old toilet or showerhead for a low-flow model is one of the simplest ways to save water. Make sure the new toilet suits your drain distance from the wall, and that a new showerhead works with your existing valve. A plumber can check both before you buy.
