Plumbing Fixtures

When a Fixture Starts to Fail

A faucet that drips through the night, a toilet that runs long after the flush, or a showerhead that has lost half its pressure are the kinds of problems most people learn to ignore until they can’t. These small annoyances add up. A single dripping faucet can waste gallons of water every day, and a toilet that keeps cycling pushes your water bill higher without giving anything back. Replacing or repairing the fixture usually solves the problem for years.

At Larry's Plumbing, Heating and Cooling, we handle the full range of plumbing fixtures found in homes and businesses, from kitchen faucets and bathroom sinks to tubs, showers, toilets, and specialty fixtures. We have been doing this work since 1982, and over those decades we have installed and serviced nearly every fixture type and brand on the market. Because we service all makes and models, we are not limited to one manufacturer’s line, so we can match what you already have or help you choose something new.

Faucets and Sinks

Faucets take more daily use than almost any other fixture in the house. Over time, worn cartridges, corroded valve seats, and mineral buildup lead to drips, stiff handles, and reduced flow. In many cases a repair is enough. We replace cartridges, O-rings, and washers to bring an older faucet back to proper working order. When a faucet is too far gone or outdated, we install a replacement that fits your sink configuration, whether that is single-hole, three-hole, or a wall-mounted setup.

Sink installation goes hand in hand with faucet work. Undermount, drop-in, farmhouse, and vessel sinks each call for different mounting methods and drain assemblies. A kitchen remodel often involves moving the sink location, which means adjusting supply lines and the drain trap. We handle the plumbing side of these projects so that the sink drains cleanly and the connections stay leak-free. Low-flow aerators are a simple upgrade we often recommend, since they cut water use without a noticeable drop in performance.

Toilets That Work the Way They Should

A toilet is a straightforward fixture, but small failures inside the tank cause the most common complaints. A flapper that no longer seals, a worn fill valve, or a float set too high will keep water moving when it should be still. These parts are inexpensive and quick to replace, and doing so stops both the noise and the waste.

When a toilet rocks, leaks at the base, or clogs repeatedly, the problem may be the wax ring, the flange, or the toilet itself. We reset toilets on new wax seals, replace cracked or corroded flanges, and install modern units when an old one is past saving. Newer high-efficiency toilets use far less water per flush than models from decades ago, and pressure-assisted designs handle solid waste with less chance of a clog. We help you weigh the options based on how the fixture is used.

Tubs, Showers, and Valves

Shower and tub fixtures combine water supply, temperature control, and drainage into one system. A failing mixing valve can send scalding or ice-cold water without warning, which is more than an inconvenience. We replace worn shower valves, install thermostatic and pressure-balancing valves that hold a steady temperature, and swap out showerheads and tub spouts for better flow and appearance.

Tub installation and shower pan work often come up during bathroom remodels. These jobs require careful attention to the drain connection and slope so water clears properly and nothing leaks behind the wall. We coordinate the plumbing portion of a remodel so the finished space performs as well as it looks.
