Bathroom Plumbing — Repair, Installation & Remodeling on the Gulf Coast

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

My shower pressure is fine but the water won't get hot. What's wrong?

This is usually a failing cartridge in the shower valve — the internal component that balances hot and cold. Replacing the cartridge typically solves it without having to replace the entire valve or open the wall. We'll diagnose it and tell you exactly what's needed.

My toilet rocks when I sit on it. Is that a plumbing problem?

It can be. A rocking toilet is sometimes just loose bolts, which is a five-minute fix. But rocking can also indicate a damaged flange (the ring that anchors the toilet to the drain) or a soft subfloor from an old leak. We'll determine which it is before assuming the simple answer.

Can you add a bathroom to my home?

Yes. Adding a bathroom requires running new supply and drain lines from your existing system to the new location. The complexity — and cost — depends on how far the new bathroom is from existing stack and supply lines. We'll assess the layout and give you a clear scope.

My tub drains slowly but everything else is fine. What's the cause?

Usually a hair clog near the drain or in the P-trap — often cleared with a drain snake without needing to open any pipes. If clearing the drain doesn't solve it, we'll look deeper for a partial blockage further down the line.

Do I need a plumber for a vanity swap?

If you're swapping a vanity for one with the same footprint and the same drain and supply locations, it's straightforward work. If the new vanity has a different sink configuration, requires moving the drain, or is a different size, a plumber should handle it. We'll give you a quick answer when you describe what you're working with.
