Plumbing Repairs

The small leaks and loose fittings that turn into water damage if they sit too long.

A dripping supply line under a sink, a slow leak at a shutoff valve, or a fitting that's worked loose over time are the kind of plumbing issues that don't need a full plumbing crew but shouldn't be ignored either. These visits focus on accessible, contained repairs rather than whole-house plumbing work.

Older shore homes and rental properties tend to have a mix of original and updated plumbing, and salt-air humidity can accelerate corrosion on exposed fittings. Part of the visit is identifying whether a fix is a simple tighten-and-seal job or something that points to a larger issue in the line.

Anything involving main line repairs, repiping, water heater replacement, or sewer and septic work falls outside handyman scope and should go to a licensed plumber. That distinction is made clear before any work begins.

Problems we get called about

  • Dripping or leaking fittings

    Supply lines, shutoff valves, or connections under sinks that have started to drip or show signs of corrosion.

  • Loose or wobbly fixtures

    Sink drains, tub spouts, or supply lines that have loosened from normal use and need re-securing.

  • Slow drains

    Sinks or tubs that drain slowly due to a partial clog that hasn't required professional drain cleaning yet.

  • Running or leaking shutoff valves

    Valves under sinks or behind toilets that no longer seal fully when closed.

  • Minor pipe insulation and access issues

    Exposed pipes in crawlspaces or under sinks that need insulation or minor repair to prevent freeze damage.

What the work may include

  • Inspecting and repairing leaking supply lines and fittings
  • Tightening or replacing worn shutoff valves
  • Clearing minor, accessible drain clogs
  • Re-sealing fixture connections with appropriate materials
  • Checking exposed pipe insulation in vulnerable areas
  • Identifying issues that require a licensed plumber
