Minor Plumbing Fixes in Orange County

A toilet that runs, a faucet that drips or a showerhead you want upgraded does not need a plumber's truck. Local handymen replace flappers, fill valves, supply lines, faucets, showerheads and even swap a toilet you bought for the same spot. Anything that moves pipe, touches gas or opens a wall goes to a licensed plumber.

Minor Plumbing Fixes FAQ

Only like-for-like fixture replacement and repairs on a job under $1,000 that needs no permit. Water heaters, gas lines and new pipe require a licensed C-36 plumber, and we send those requests to licensed buyers only.

Usually you do, so you get exactly the model you want. Say in the request whether you already have the fixture.

If the new unit is the same type and plugs into an existing outlet under the sink, yes. If it needs hardwiring or a new circuit, that part goes to a licensed electrician.

Small jobs. Done right.
