Toilets
If the bowl or tank has a crack, the toilet gets replaced. Short of that, the cause is smaller. It is the flapper or fill valve when the tank will not stop refilling, and the seal at the base when the toilet moves under you.
Toilet, Faucet and Fixture Repair in Indianapolis
A tank that hisses and refills by itself, a drip you can hear from the next room and a shower handle that cannot settle on warm each trace back to a worn part. The plumber you hire replaces that part, or the fixture.

Fixtures and what goes wrong
Faucets
Drips come from worn cartridges, washers or seals inside the faucet body. An old or corroded faucet can be replaced rather than repaired.
Shower and tub valves
Inside every single-handle shower valve sits a cartridge, and when it wears, the water drifts hot and cold or the spout keeps dribbling. A new cartridge can cure that, and a tired old valve body can be replaced from behind the tile.
Garbage disposals
A disposal that hums but stays still may have something stuck in it, maybe a bone or a fruit pit. One that drips from its housing is finished, and a replacement mounts to the same sink flange.
Fixture swaps and the city permit
Replacing appliances, fixtures, traps and valves in a plumbing system is on the Indianapolis list of work that needs no permit. A new toilet, faucet or shower valve in place of the old one falls under that exception.
Hard water at the tap
The hard water Citizens Energy Group supplies, covered on the water heater page, can leave mineral scale on faucet aerators, showerheads and toilet valves.
Moving or adding a fixture
Putting a sink, toilet or shower in a new place means running drain, vent and supply lines to the new spot, which is a bigger job than swapping a fixture.
Should the sink still drain slowly with a new faucet in, drain cleaning is next. Dampness in the vanity base can mean leak detection. The home page names every other service we connect you with.
