Our Commerce customers call us for a wide range of plumbing repair needs:

Faucet and Fixture Repairs

Dripping Faucets: That annoying drip wastes hundreds of gallons annually and increases water bills. We repair or replace worn cartridges, washers, O-rings, and valve seats to eliminate drips.

Leaking Faucets: Leaks at the base of faucets or from handles indicate failing seals or mounting issues. We identify and fix the source, preventing water damage to counters and cabinets.

Low Flow Issues: Reduced flow from faucets often results from clogged aerators, failing cartridges, or supply line restrictions. We restore proper flow quickly.

Stuck or Difficult-to-Operate Handles: Stiff faucet handles indicate internal corrosion or mineral buildup. We service or replace internal components to restore smooth operation.

Showerhead Problems: We repair leaking showerheads, fix diverter valves that won’t switch between tub and shower, and restore proper spray patterns affected by mineral buildup.

Toilet Repairs

Toilets are high-use fixtures requiring reliable operation. Common repairs include:

Running Toilets: Constantly running water wastes significant volume—often 200+ gallons daily. We replace flappers, adjust or replace fill valves, and fix flush valves to eliminate running.

Weak Flush: Inadequate flushing power results from clogged rim jets, failing flapper valves, or insufficient tank water levels. We diagnose and correct the cause.

Toilet Won’t Flush: Complete flush failure indicates broken flush handles, disconnected lift chains, or failed flush valves. We identify and repair the problem.

Leaking at Base: Water pooling around toilet bases signals failed wax rings requiring immediate repair to prevent floor damage and odor issues.

Fill Valve Problems: Faulty fill valves that won’t shut off or take excessively long to refill affect toilet performance. We repair or replace fill assemblies.

Cracked Tanks or Bowls: Cracks in porcelain require toilet replacement. We can identify hairline cracks that may not be visible but cause slow leaks.

Drain and Clog Repairs

Kitchen Sink Clogs: Grease, food particles, and soap buildup cause kitchen drain blockages. We clear clogs and can address chronic issues with preventive solutions.

Bathroom Sink Clogs: Hair and soap accumulation commonly clog bathroom sinks. We remove blockages and clean P-traps.

Shower and Tub Drain Clogs: Hair is the primary culprit in shower drains. We use appropriate tools to remove blockages without damaging pipes.

Main Line Clogs: When multiple drains back up simultaneously, the main sewer line is blocked. We use professional equipment including sewer cameras and hydro-jetting to clear main lines.

Slow Drains: Gradual drainage indicates partial blockages. We address these before they become complete clogs.

Recurring Clogs: Drains that clog repeatedly indicate underlying problems like improper venting, pipe slope issues, or damage. We identify and fix root causes.

Leak Detection and Repair

Leaks cause water damage, mold growth, and wasted water. We locate and repair leaks throughout your system:

Visible Leaks: We repair obvious leaks at joints, fixtures, supply lines, and appliance connections.

Hidden Leaks: Using electronic detection equipment, moisture meters, and pressure testing, we locate leaks within walls, under slabs, or in underground pipes.

Slab Leaks: These difficult leaks occur in pipes beneath concrete foundations. We use specialized detection equipment to pinpoint locations and recommend appropriate repair methods—accessing through the slab, rerouting pipes, or epoxy lining.

Pipe Leaks: We repair leaking pipes using appropriate methods for different materials—soldering copper, replacing PEX sections, or patching as appropriate.

Supply Line Leaks: Flexible supply lines connecting fixtures to shutoffs have limited lifespans. We replace aging or damaged supply lines before they burst.

Water Heater Repairs

No Hot Water: Complete hot water failure results from failed heating elements (electric), pilot light issues (gas), thermostat failure, or circuit problems. We diagnose and repair the specific cause.

Insufficient Hot Water: When your water heater produces less hot water than normal, causes include sediment buildup, failing heating elements, thermostat issues, or undersized units. We identify the problem and recommend solutions.

Lukewarm Water: Water that never gets hot enough indicates thermostat problems, crossed connections, or failing heating elements.

Water Heater Leaks: Leaks from tanks, connections, or pressure relief valves require immediate attention. Some leaks are repairable; others indicate tank failure requiring replacement.

Strange Noises: Popping, rumbling, or hissing sounds indicate sediment buildup, scaling, or pressure issues. We diagnose causes and perform necessary repairs or maintenance.

Pilot Light Problems: Pilot lights that won’t stay lit indicate thermocouple failure, gas valve issues, or ventilation problems requiring professional repair.

Rusty Water: Rust-colored hot water suggests tank corrosion or failing anode rods. We assess whether the water heater is salvageable or requires replacement.

Garbage Disposal Repairs

Disposal Won’t Turn On: Electrical issues, jammed impellers, or tripped reset buttons prevent operation. We identify and fix the problem.

Disposal Jams: We safely clear jams and remove objects causing blockages.

Leaking Disposals: Leaks at mounting flanges or drain connections require seal replacement or tightening.

Disposal Won’t Drain: Clogs below the disposal prevent drainage. We clear blockages and verify proper operation.

Unusual Noises: Grinding, rattling, or humming indicates loose components, worn mounting, or mechanical failure requiring repair or replacement.

Pipe Repairs

Burst Pipes: Emergency situations requiring immediate shutoff and repair. We respond quickly to minimize water damage and restore service.

Frozen Pipe Damage: While rare in Commerce, cold snaps can freeze pipes. We repair freeze damage and provide prevention advice.

Corroded Pipes: We repair or replace sections of corroded galvanized, copper, or steel pipes exhibiting leaks or failure.

Pinhole Leaks: Small leaks in copper pipes can be patched or repaired by replacing affected sections.

Joint Leaks: Leaking joints are re-soldered, re-sealed, or re-fitted depending on pipe material and connection type.

Water Pressure Issues

Low Pressure: System-wide low pressure results from partially closed main valves, failing pressure regulators, corroded pipes, or supply issues. We diagnose and correct the cause.

High Pressure: Excessive pressure (above 80 PSI) stresses fixtures and accelerates wear. We install or adjust pressure regulators to protect your system.

Pressure Fluctuations: Varying pressure indicates regulator failure, supply issues, or plumbing system problems requiring investigation.

Sewer Line Repairs

Sewer Backups: Sewage backing into drains is an emergency requiring immediate attention. We identify whether blockages are in your property’s lines or the municipal system.

Root Intrusion: Tree roots penetrating sewer lines cause blockages and damage. We remove roots and repair or line damaged pipes.

Broken Sewer Lines: Cracked or collapsed sewer lines require repair or replacement. We offer traditional excavation or trenchless repair methods.

Bellied or Offset Pipes: Ground settlement can cause sewer pipes to sag or separate at joints. We identify these issues with camera inspection and recommend appropriate repairs.

Recognizing problems early minimizes damage and repair costs:

Water Quality Changes: Discolored, cloudy, or foul-smelling water indicates plumbing problems requiring investigation.

Pressure Changes: Sudden or gradual pressure changes signal system issues.

Unusual Sounds: Gurgling drains, banging pipes, or running water sounds when fixtures are off indicate problems.

Water Bills Increasing: Unexplained water bill increases often indicate hidden leaks.

Slow Drains: Drainage that’s slower than normal suggests developing clogs.

Visible Water Damage: Stains on walls, ceilings, or floors indicate leaks requiring immediate attention.

Mold or Mildew: Musty odors or visible mold growth often results from plumbing leaks.

Wet Spots: Damp areas on floors, walls, or in yards can indicate underground leaks.

Fixture Malfunctions: Toilets, faucets, or other fixtures not operating properly need repair.

Sewage Odors: Sewer gas smells indicate venting problems, dry P-traps, or sewer line issues.
