Faucet & Toilet Repair in Eugene, OR
Eugene has some of the softest tap water around. Most of the city's water comes from the McKenzie River, so mineral scale isn't the main culprit here the way it is in many parts of the country. Instead, faucets and toilets usually fail from age and wear: rubber washers and flappers that harden, cartridges that start to drip, fill valves that hiss all night, wax rings that let go when a toilet rocks and supply lines that are well past their prime. In 1960s and 1970s homes, original shutoff valves often won't close, and older houses near campus may still have galvanized pipes and fixtures that have been repaired many times over.
We handle the everyday plumbing repairs and replacements that keep a house working. We find out exactly where a leak is coming from, replace worn parts with the right match for your faucet or toilet, and install new faucets, toilets, garbage disposals and supply lines when the old ones are done. Our licensed plumbers take care of the connections, and we check every joint under pressure before we leave. If we find a bigger problem, like a corroded drain line or a shutoff that breaks when we turn it, we explain what we found and fix it rather than leaving you with a half-done job.

How a faucet & toilet repair visit usually goes
Find the Leak
We shut off the water and trace the leak to its source, whether that's a cartridge, washer, supply line, wax ring or tank seal.
Get the Right Parts
We identify the exact parts your faucet or toilet needs and carry common ones on the truck so most repairs can be finished in one visit.
Repair or Replace
Worn parts are replaced, surfaces are cleaned and new fixtures are installed with fresh seals and supply lines.
Test Under Pressure
We turn the water back on, check every connection, run the fixture through its full range and clean up before we leave.
Eugene's wet winters bring their own plumbing concerns. Outdoor spigots that weren't shut off or covered before a cold snap can crack inside the wall, and the leak often doesn't show up until spring when the hose is turned on. During the January 2024 ice storm, many homes had pipes freeze in crawl spaces and exterior walls. We repair and replace outdoor spigots, add frost-free models where they make sense and check crawl space pipes for leaks and insulation. In homes on well water around Santa Clara, Coburg or the rural edges of the area, the water can be harder than Eugene's city supply, so we check aerators and cartridges for buildup and recommend fixtures that handle it better.
What shapes the price in Eugene
Faucet and toilet repair cost depends on the fixture and the condition of the plumbing around it. Replacing a flapper or cartridge is quick. Older fixtures with hard-to-find parts, seized shutoffs, corroded connections or limited access under a sink or behind a toilet take more time. Installing a new faucet, toilet or disposal costs more than repairing the old one, especially if supply lines and shutoffs need to be replaced at the same time. Whether you supply the fixture or we source it also affects the price. Tackling several plumbing repairs in one visit is the most efficient approach.
Neighbors often ask
My toilet keeps running. Can you fix it?
Usually, yes. A running toilet is most often caused by a worn flapper or a failing fill valve. We replace those parts with ones that match your toilet, adjust the water level and check that the toilet flushes completely. If the tank or bowl is cracked or the toilet is very old, replacing it may make more sense, and we'll tell you honestly.
Can you install a faucet or toilet I bought?
Yes. We install customer-supplied fixtures all the time. We check that you have all the parts before we start, replace old supply lines and shutoffs if needed, and our licensed plumbers make the connections. Then we test everything and clean up.
My shutoff valve won't turn. What should I do?
Don't force it. Older shutoff valves can break or start leaking if they're cranked too hard. We shut off water at the main if needed, replace the valve with a new quarter-turn shutoff and connect a new supply line, so the next repair is easier and you can stop water quickly in an emergency.
Can you replace my garbage disposal?
Yes. We remove the old disposal, check the sink flange and drain connections, install the new unit and make sure it's sealed and running properly. If the disposal is hardwired or plugs into an outlet under the sink, our licensed electricians and plumbers handle those connections as part of the job.
My toilet rocks when I sit on it. Is that a problem?
Yes, it's worth fixing. A rocking toilet can break the wax seal and let water leak under the floor, which can damage the subfloor over time. We pull the toilet, check the flange and floor, replace the wax ring and reset the toilet so it's solid. If the subfloor is soft, we'll show you before going further.
