San Diego's hard water cakes up cartridges, seats, and aerators faster than almost anywhere else in California. Whether it's a shower valve in a La Jolla condo, a faucet in a North Park bungalow, or a running toilet in Chula Vista, the real fix is usually a clean cartridge swap plus (eventually) a softener.
Common questions
My disposal hums but won't spin. What's wrong?+
Almost always a jam. If it clears and still hums, the motor is done and it is cheaper to replace.
Which disposal should I buy?+
For most homes, a 3/4 HP unit is the sweet spot. We can supply or install one you buy.
Is it worth repairing a 10-year-old disposal?+
Usually no. New units are quieter, more efficient, and cheaper than the labor to rebuild an old one.
Why do my faucet cartridges keep failing?+
Almost always hard-water scale, not defective cartridges. San Diego water is 15+ grains per gallon and cakes up cartridges fast. A softener extends fixture life dramatically.
Can you work in condos and high-rises Downtown or in Mission Valley?+
Yes. We do fixture work in condos across Downtown, Little Italy, Mission Valley, and Coronado. We coordinate any building water shut-off with property management if needed.
