Bathroom & Kitchen Plumbing in Pueblo

What we do in these rooms

• Faucets and taps — dripping, seized, or just dated. Replacing a cartridge is often all a drip needs.
• Toilets — running, weak flush, rocking, leaking at the base, or straight replacement.
• Sinks and vanities — new installs, swaps, and the supply and waste connections behind them.
• Showers and tubs — valves, cartridges, diverters, shower heads, surrounds and tub swaps.
• Garbage disposals — installation, replacement and unjamming.
• Dishwashers and ice makers — the water supply and drain side of getting them connected.
• Remodel plumbing — rough-in for a new layout, moving supply and waste lines, and setting fixtures at the end.

Running and leaking toilets

A running toilet is the most common call in this category and usually the cheapest fix — typically a worn flapper, a misadjusted float or a tired fill valve. Worth doing promptly, though: a toilet that runs continuously can waste hundreds of gallons a day, and you pay for every one of them.

Water appearing around the base is a different matter. That usually means the wax seal under the toilet has failed, which lets water escape at floor level every time it is flushed. Left alone it works into the subfloor, so it is one to deal with rather than mop.

Showers that run hot and cold

If your shower swings temperature when a toilet flushes or the washing machine fills, the balancing cartridge in the shower valve has worn out. These exist specifically to stop that happening, and replacing one is usually straightforward. It is worth doing rather than tolerating — a sudden hot swing is a real scalding risk for children and older adults.

A shower that never gets properly hot is a different problem, pointing at the water heater or a mixing valve that has drifted. Our water heater page covers the heater side.

Remodels and renovations

If you are redoing a bathroom or kitchen, the plumbing decisions happen earlier than most people expect. Moving a sink, adding a second basin, converting a tub to a walk-in shower or relocating a toilet all mean moving supply and waste lines, and waste lines in particular need proper fall and venting to work — which constrains where fixtures can realistically go.

That is worth knowing at the design stage rather than after the tiling is ordered. We are happy to look at a plan and tell you what is straightforward, what is awkward, and what will cost noticeably more than it looks like it should.

On a remodel we handle the rough-in while walls are open, then come back to set the fixtures once surfaces are finished. Larger jobs are covered by the 1-year guarantee.

Garbage disposals

Disposals handle less than people assume. Grease, coffee grounds, eggshells, pasta and rice, fibrous vegetables, bones and fruit pits all cause problems — either jamming the unit or building up in the line past it, which turns into a drain problem shortly after.

A disposal that hums without turning is usually jammed rather than dead, and often recoverable. One that does nothing at all may just need the reset button on its underside before anyone assumes the worst.

Bringing your own fixtures

Plenty of customers pick out their own faucet, toilet or shower set, and we are glad to fit it. The only thing to be clear on is that our guarantee then covers our installation work, while the fixture itself is covered by its manufacturer. If it turns out to be faulty we will help you take it up with them, but we cannot warrant something we did not supply.

If you are replacing something old, send us the model before you buy. Hole spacings and connection types vary more than you would think, and not everything drops into an existing opening.

What it costs

Fixture repairs are $120 per hour during regular hours, and $240 per hour for emergency work outside them when you need help right away. Remodels are quoted after a free estimate rather than billed by the hour, so get a free quote today. See the full rate table.
