The short answer
Who repairs toilets and faucets in Haverhill?
Emergency Plumbing of Haverhill repairs toilets and faucets in homes in Haverhill and nearby Palm Beach County towns. Most toilet problems come from a few parts inside the tank: the fill valve, the flapper and the handle linkage.
A dripping faucet is almost always a worn washer, cartridge or seal. Replacing the worn part usually stops the drip.
A toilet that will not stop
What to do if a toilet is overflowing
Stop the water first.
Lift the tank lid
Push the flapper down to stop water running into the bowl, or lift the float arm to stop the tank filling.
Close the supply valve
The oval handle on the small pipe behind the toilet turns clockwise to shut off the water to it.
Do not flush again
Another flush adds more water to a bowl that is already full.
Call and describe it
Whether the water is clean or not, and whether other drains in the house are slow.
Signs to fix soon
Small faults that waste water
None is an emergency by itself. All of them cost something every day.
- A toilet that runs on
- Water trickling into the bowl after the flush has finished.
- A toilet that rocks
- Movement at the base, or water around it when it flushes.
- A weak or slow flush
- The bowl does not clear on the first flush.
- A dripping faucet
- A drip you can hear at night.
- A faucet handle that is stiff or loose
- A handle that turns hard, or one that spins without effect.
- Low flow at one tap
- A faucet that has lost pressure, with the rest of the house normal.
The small parts
A drip is a part that has worn out.
A faucet is a handful of moving parts in a small space. The washer, the O ring and the cartridge wear with every turn of the handle.
Replacing the part is usually quicker than replacing the faucet, and the plumber can say whether the faucet is still worth repairing.
- Fill valves, flappers and handles
- Faucet cartridges and seals
- Angle stops and supply lines
Questions
Questions people ask about toilet and faucet repair
Why does my toilet keep running?
Most often the flapper no longer seals, or the fill valve is set too high. Both are small parts.
How much water does a leaking toilet waste?
A silent leak from the tank into the bowl can waste a large amount of water without any sound. Food coloring in the tank, with no flush, shows whether it is leaking.
Is a dripping faucet worth fixing?
Yes. A drip wastes water and can stain a sink. The cause is usually a small worn part.
Can you replace a faucet I bought myself?
If a faucet is past repair, replacing it is part of the job. Tell us what you have when you call.
