Common Fixture Problems in San Diego Homes

Plumbing fixtures take daily use and eventually wear out. San Diego’s hard water makes this happen faster than you’d expect.

What hard water does to your fixtures:

  • Clogs aerators – Mineral deposits block the small screens in faucets and showerheads
  • Creates buildup inside valves – Makes handles stiff and hard to turn
  • Corrodes finishes faster – Fixtures that would last decades elsewhere need attention sooner here
  • Damages internal seals – Rubber and plastic parts deteriorate from constant mineral contact

Problems from age and wear:

  • Dripping faucets – Worn washers or cartridges that waste water and money
  • Running toilets – Deteriorated flappers that let water flow constantly
  • Leaky connections – Showerheads and supply lines that seep at joints

Problems from bad installation:

  • Leaky fixture bases – Improper sealing causes water to pool underneath
  • Rocking toilets – Uneven flanges break wax rings and cause leaks
  • Stress cracks – Supply lines pulled too tight or kinked during install

Signs Your Fixtures Need Attention

Watch for these indicators that repairs or replacement make sense.

  • Constant dripping – Worn internal parts that waste water
  • Running toilets – Can waste hundreds of gallons daily
  • Low water pressure – Often means clogged aerators or internal blockage
  • Stiff or stuck handles – Worn cartridges or mineral buildup
  • Visible corrosion – Rust, pitting, or deterioration on surfaces
  • Rocking toilets – Broken seals that will leak
  • Leaks around the base – Water pooling around toilets, faucets, or showers

Many of these start small but get worse and more expensive if ignored.

Choosing Quality Fixtures

The quality of your fixtures matters as much as proper installation. Cheap fixtures fail sooner and cost more over time.

What to look for:

  • Solid brass bodies – Last longer than plastic, especially in hard water
  • Ceramic disc valves – Don’t wear out like rubber washers
  • Quality finishes – Resist corrosion from San Diego’s mineral-heavy water
  • WaterSense certification – Saves water without sacrificing performance
  • Strong manufacturer warranties – Good brands stand behind their products

Our recommendations by type:

  • Kitchen faucets – Pull-down sprayers with solid brass bodies and ceramic disc valves
  • Bathroom faucets – Widespread styles offer more mounting flexibility than single-hole
  • Toilets – At least a 3-inch flush valve and strong flush performance ratings
  • Toilet seats – Soft-close models prevent slamming and last longer

We work with fixtures at every price point, but mid-range to quality brands from established manufacturers give the best long-term value.

Professional Installation Makes the Difference

Proper fixture installation involves more than connecting supply lines. The details separate fixtures that last decades from ones that leak within months.

What we do differently:

  • Correct sealing – Right amount of putty or silicone without excess squeezing out
  • Proper supply line bends – Slight curves, never kinked tight or pulled taut
  • Even bolt tightening – Toilets secured without rocking or cracked porcelain
  • Depth-adjusted shower valves – Handles mount flush to finished walls
  • Pressure testing – We test under pressure before walls close up

We test every installation for leaks and proper function before considering the job complete.

Emergency Plumbing Frequently Asked Questions

Should I repair or replace my faucet?

If the faucet is quality and less than 15 years old, repair often makes sense. For older fixtures, severely corroded fixtures, or cheap models, replacement costs about the same and gets you an updated faucet.

How long does fixture installation take?

Most faucets install in 1-2 hours. Toilets take 1-2 hours including removal. Complete bathroom fixture replacements take 3-5 hours.

Can you match my existing fixtures?

We'll do our best to match finish and style, but exact matches aren't always available for older models. We can recommend current fixtures that complement what you have.

Do you provide the fixtures or do I buy them?

Either way works. We can provide fixtures, or you can purchase them and we'll install. If you're buying, we're happy to recommend specific models.

Will you remove and dispose of old fixtures?

Yes, we remove old fixtures and haul them away as part of the installation.

What brands do you recommend?

For toilets, we like Toto, Kohler, and American Standard. For faucets, Moen, Delta, and Kohler offer good quality at various price points.

Do you warranty your installation work?

Yes, all installation work is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee. Fixtures carry the manufacturer's warranty.
