Our licensed plumbers handle the bathroom plumbing problems Richmond homeowners call about most. Pick the one that matches yours.

What we fix:
- Running tank or constant refilling
- Leak at the base or supply line

A dripping faucet adds to your water bill every month. Most of the time we replace the worn part. If the faucet is old, we install a new one.
What we fix:
- Drips and leaks at the handle or spout
- Low flow from a clogged aerator

DIY or Professional Plumber?
Some small jobs are safe to do yourself. Others can cause water damage if they go wrong. Here is how to tell them apart.
| DIY Can Work When | Call a Plumber When |
|---|---|
| Drains: Hair in the drain cover or a slow sink. You can lift it out and rinse it. | Drains: A drain that stays clogged, backs up or smells. The blockage may be deep in the line. |
| Faucets: Aerator buildup. Unscrew it and soak it in vinegar. | Faucets: A faucet that drips or leaks at the base. The cartridge or valve needs replacing. |
| Leaks: You can see the leak and shut off the water at the fixture. | Leaks: A leak under the sink or in the wall. The source may be hidden, and the cabinet can rot. |
| Toilet: A running tank you can fix with a new flapper. | Toilet: A toilet leaking at the base, or one that overflows. The seal or flange needs repair. |
| Shower valve: Not a good DIY job. | Shower valve: The wall opens, and a bad joint leaks inside it. We handle it. |
| Risk: You accept it. A plumbing mistake can cause water damage and insurance trouble. | Risk: You get one licensed crew to call if something goes wrong. |

Plumbing in Richmond Homes: Older Pipes and Newer Builds
Older homes in the Fan, Museum District and Church Hill often still have galvanized or cast iron pipes and old shutoff valves. These corrode, clog and leak over time, so we look at them whenever we are in the house.
Newer homes in Short Pump, Glen Allen and Midlothian usually have copper or PEX lines. The common problems there are worn fixtures, loose connections and low pressure.
Do you need a permit? Replacing a fixture in the same spot, such as a toilet or faucet, usually does not need one. Changing the water supply, drain or vent lines does. Richmond issues plumbing as a separate trade permit, and we handle it when your job needs one.
