Toilet, Tub & Faucet Repair
In the grand scheme of a home or business, it is often the smallest components that have the biggest impact on our daily happiness. We rarely think about our faucets or our toilets until they stop working correctly, but once they fail, they quickly become the center of our attention. At Frank’s Plumbing Inc., we believe that no job is too small to deserve our full expertise. Whether it is a kitchen faucet that won’t stop dripping or a bathtub that takes forever to drain, we approach these repairs with the same level of care and precision that we bring to a major construction project. Sandra Balbuena and her team understand that these fixtures are the touchpoints of your home—they are the things you interact with dozens of times a day—and they should work flawlessly every single time.
A dripping faucet might seem like a minor annoyance, but the reality is much more significant. That steady “drip, drip, drip” can waste hundreds of gallons of water over the course of a year, leading to higher utility bills and an unnecessary strain on our local water resources. Furthermore, a leak that starts at the handle or the base of the faucet can eventually seep into your cabinetry, causing wood rot and mold that are far more expensive to fix than a simple washer or cartridge replacement. When we come into your home to repair a faucet, we don’t just look at the leak; we look at the entire mechanism. We work with all types of fixtures, from traditional compression faucets to modern ceramic disk models. We take the time to explain the cause of the wear and tear, and we always use high-quality replacement parts that ensure your repair lasts for the long haul.
The bathroom is another area where small issues can lead to big frustrations. A bathtub that won’t hold water because of a faulty stopper, or a showerhead that has lost its pressure due to mineral buildup, can ruin your morning routine. We specialize in diagnosing the internal valves and diverters that keep your tub and shower functioning. Often, the problem isn’t the fixture itself but a worn-out valve behind the wall. Our team is skilled at accessing these components with minimal disruption to your tile work. We also love helping our clients upgrade their experience. If you are tired of your old, inefficient fixtures, we can recommend and install modern, water-saving options that provide a luxury feel while reducing your monthly costs. We believe your bathroom should be a place of relaxation, not a source of stress.
Toilets are perhaps the most essential fixtures in any property, and they are also the most prone to wear. A “running” toilet is one of the most common calls we receive, and it is usually caused by a failing flapper or a misaligned fill valve. While many homeowners try to fix these issues with “do-it-yourself” kits from the hardware store, these often result in temporary fixes that don’t address the root of the problem. We provide a professional touch that ensures the seal is perfect and the tank fills and flushes exactly as it should. Beyond the internal mechanics, we also handle leaks at the base of the toilet, which often indicate a failed wax ring. This is a critical repair, as water seeping under the toilet can damage your subfloor and create an unstable, unsafe fixture.
At Frank’s Plumbing Inc., we also understand the aesthetic side of plumbing. Your faucets and tubs are part of your home’s interior design. If you have a historic home with vintage brass fixtures, we treat them with the specialized care they require, often sourcing hard-to-find parts to maintain the original look. If you prefer a modern, minimalist style, we can help you select sleek new hardware that refreshes the entire room. Sandra and her team are here to provide honest advice on when a repair is the best path and when it might be more economical to replace an aging fixture entirely. We never push for unnecessary replacements; our goal is simply to ensure that every handle you turn and every button you press in your home results in the smooth, reliable performance you expect.
