Common Plumbing Problems We Fix
Plumbing issues come in all shapes and sizes. We take the time to fix the problem at its source—not just put a patch on it.
Leaky Faucets & Fixtures
That constant drip isn’t just annoying—it can waste hundreds of gallons of water over time. We repair or replace faucets, showerheads, and valves to stop the leak and restore proper function.
Running & Clogged Toilets
Toilets that won’t stop running or clog easily can waste water and cause backups. We replace worn-out parts and clear toilet drains to make sure everything flushes the way it should.
Pipe Leaks & Burst Pipes
From pinhole leaks hidden behind walls to burst pipes flooding the basement, we handle emergency and non-emergency pipe repairs throughout the home. We’ll find the source and fix it the right way.
Low Water Pressure
Weak pressure in your sinks or showers often points to buildup in pipes, corroded fittings, or regulator issues. We diagnose and fix pressure problems so your water flows like it should.
Garbage Disposal Repairs
If your disposal is jammed, humming, or leaking, we’ll safely repair or replace it. We’ll also check for clogs or connection issues in the sink drain while we’re there.
Outdoor Faucet Leaks
A leaky spigot or frost-damaged hose bib can lead to water damage in your foundation or walls. We install and repair outdoor faucets—including frost-proof models for winter protection.

Plumbing Repair Questions? We’ve Got Answers.
Why does my faucet keep dripping even after replacing the washer?
Worn seats, corroded valves, or poorly installed parts can cause continued leaking. We inspect the whole fixture to make sure nothing is missed and use quality replacements that actually hold.
What causes low water pressure in older homes?
In many homes around Spencer and Brookfield, aging galvanized pipes can corrode on the inside, restricting water flow. We assess pressure issues thoroughly to fix what’s really causing the drop.
Should I worry about a small leak under the sink?
Yes. Even slow drips can cause rot, mold, and expensive cabinet damage. We recommend fixing it before it turns into a bigger problem—and a bigger bill.
Can you fix a leaking pipe without tearing open walls?
In many cases, yes. We use moisture detection and targeted repair techniques to access leaks with as little disruption as possible.
How can I tell if my outdoor faucet froze over winter?
If you turn it on in spring and water sprays from the wall or pipe inside, it likely froze and cracked. We replace damaged spigots and recommend frost-proof models for homes in Spencer and nearby towns.
Why does my toilet keep running after flushing?
Usually, it’s a faulty flapper, fill valve, or chain. We’ll identify the issue and replace just the parts you need—no unnecessary upgrades.
Do you offer emergency plumbing repairs?
Yes. If you have a burst pipe, heavy leak, or water where it shouldn’t be, call us anytime. We provide emergency plumbing help throughout Worcester County.
