Leaky Faucet or Running Toilet in Santa Clara
Drip stopped or toilet quieted — cartridge, flapper, or fill valve replaced as needed, confirmed fixed before we leave.
The Problem
The faucet drips all night or the toilet keeps running — wasting water and adding to your bill — and replacing the cartridge or flapper is fiddly work.
The bathroom faucet drips all night and it's affecting your sleep
A steady drip from a bathroom faucet in a quiet Santa Clara condo carries further than you'd expect. The fix — a cartridge or washer swap — is one of the most routine handyman jobs we do. We arrive with a full set of cartridges for common faucet brands so we don't leave to get parts mid-job.
The toilet in the Pomeroy / Mariposa home has been running for three months
A running toilet is easy to ignore because it doesn't make a mess — but it adds up on SCVWD bills fast. Flappers wear out. Fill valves eventually stick. Both parts cost under $20, and replacing them is a 30-minute job. The same visit can handle the faucet drip in the hall bathroom.
You tried replacing the flapper yourself and the toilet still runs
If the toilet still runs after a flapper swap, the issue is usually the fill valve or the flush valve seat. The seat develops a groove where the flapper doesn't seal cleanly anymore. We diagnose which component is the actual problem and replace accordingly — not just the flapper again.
Kitchen faucet drip in an Old Quad home with original fixtures
Older Santa Clara homes — especially in the Old Quad / Downtown neighborhood — often have original single-handle faucets with compression-style valves rather than modern cartridges. These use rubber washers that wear out with use. We identify the valve type on arrival and bring the right parts rather than guessing.
What's Included
How We Work
We identify whether the drip is from the cartridge, O-ring, or supply line — different causes need different parts.
We shut off water at the fixture, disassemble, and replace the worn component.
Reassembled and tested under full water pressure before finishing.
If additional issues are found (supply lines, shutoff valve stiffness), we flag them so you can decide.
