Fixtures stay connected as you look around. Fill valve, flapper & overflow ### A refill is a symptom. Find what is losing water. The fill valve refills the tank after a flush. The flapper seals the flush opening; the overflow provides a separate route into the bowl. A toilet that starts filling without a flush may be replacing water escaping through the flush seal. Water rising into the overflow points to a different adjustment or fill-valve problem. #### HOW WE CHECK IT We compare the tank water level, refill-tube position and flush seal, then identify parts that fit the toilet. #### WHAT THE REPAIR MAY INVOLVE A correctly matched seal, flapper, fill valve or flush-valve repair—followed by a refill and leak check. [Toilet repair options ↗]() [Fluidmaster toilet troubleshooting ↗]() The tank is shown open for learning. Stop flushing if water is leaking onto the floor. A representative bathroom with individually vented fixtures, a gravity toilet and a tub/shower valve. Your fixture internals and pipe layout may differ. Walls and finishes are cut away to expose the connections. ### Read the seven explanations without using the model ### Inside the toilet tank The fill valve refills the tank after a flush. The flapper seals the flush opening; the overflow provides a separate route into the bowl. We compare the tank water level, refill-tube position and flush seal, then identify parts that fit the toilet. [Toilet repair options ↗]() ### Toilet seal & flange The flange anchors the toilet to the floor and connects it to the drain. A compatible seal closes the space around the toilet outlet. The toilet bowl already contains its own trap. We trace the leak and inspect the toilet’s flange, mounting bolts and supporting floor. The repair needs to leave the toilet steady and the drain seal evenly supported. [Toilet repair options ↗]() ### Faucet & handles The faucet controls and mixes the hot and cold supplies. The outlet aerator shapes the stream. Internal valve designs vary by brand and model. We identify the fixture, compare hot and cold flow, and check the outlet and supplies before recommending a cartridge or replacement. [Explore faucet & sink repair ↗]() ### Sink drain & stopper The stopper controls the basin opening. Wastewater passes through the tailpiece and P-trap; the trap retains a water seal. A vent protects that seal as the drain flows. For a slow drain, we inspect the stopper and trap before following the branch into the wall. For a leak, we trace water along the joints while the basin drains. [Explore drain cleaning ↗]() ### Shower mixing valve The valve behind the handle mixes hot and cold water. A pressure-balancing valve reacts when pressure changes in either supply, helping steady the mix when another fixture runs. A thermostatic valve senses the mixed-water temperature and adjusts the blend. We check both supplies and the valve mechanism, then measure the water temperature at the showerhead. The handle’s limit stop sets how far it can turn toward hot; it needs checking after valve service. [Shower & tub service ↗]() ### Tub drain & overflow The drain shoe and overflow join before one P-trap. The overflow opening has its own gasket behind the tub wall. We test the faucet supply, tub drain, overflow opening and wall enclosure separately. That reveals whether water is escaping from a pressurized connection, a drain gasket or the surfaces around the tub. [Explore concealed leak repair ↗]() ### Fixture shutoffs Fixture stops isolate the sink or toilet supply for service. A shower may instead rely on integral service stops or an upstream shutoff. We check whether the valve operates and seals, identify its connection type, and assess the pipe and supply connector. [Shutoff valve service ↗]() SAME ROOM. DIFFERENT CLUES. 03 / NARROW IT DOWN ## One fixture—or more? *That detail matters.* Compare the affected fixtures to focus the checks on an outlet or a shared pipe. AT ONE FIXTURE ### Start at that outlet. An aerator, showerhead, cartridge, supply connector or partly closed stop may restrict one fixture. Check the outlet and compare it with the other fixtures. AT SEVERAL FIXTURES ### Look at the shared supply. Several weak fixtures can point to a shared valve, pressure regulator, restriction or supply condition. We compare hot and cold and measure pressure when appropriate. [Water supplies & pressure problems ↗]() Describe what you have already noticed. Don’t run a leaking or overflowing fixture to test it.

These projects come directly from our past-work feed. A REPAIR OR A NEW FIXTURE? 05 / PLAN THE RIGHT WORK ## Fix what’s wrong. *Know what fits.* ### Repair the fixture A serviceable fixture with available parts may only need a targeted repair. We identify the failure and compare the sensible options. ### Replace with a good fit Check faucet holes, sink connections, toilet rough-in, clearance and shutoff condition. Shower trim must match the valve behind the wall. ### Plan before the tile Moving fixtures or changing concealed valves needs coordination with access, waterproofing, finish work and any required permits or inspections. **Already bought the fixture?** Send the model number and photos of the current installation.

Super helpful and informative. Communicated well and was punctual! Posted on Google Nathan Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tyler from Mountain Man Plumbing replaced my in-house main water shutoff valve and the pressure reducing valve (PRV) with a very practical new system that enables me to view the line pressure coming in and any drops in pressure easily. Very good looking workmanship. Prior to the work Tyler came out to my home and provided an estimate on the work, and stuck to the estimate. He's been easy to work with, cleaned up after himself, and also allowed me to change an appointment close to my originally planned estimate appointment over the phone. The website is also easy to use and efficient for scheduling an estimate. Thank you! Posted on Google Jeremy Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a great experience with Mountain Man Plumbing. Tyler showed up right on time, was professional, and got everything taken care of faster than expected—finishing the entire job in less than a day. He replaced our water heater, took care of the valves, and installed a new expansion tank, all with great attention to detail. Everything is working perfectly now, and the whole process was smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend Tyler and the team if you’re looking for reliable, efficient plumbing work! Posted on Google Dana Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tyler was very professional, polite and honest. Instead of trying to sell me new parts or a whole new water heater he showed me that some of the heating elements just needed cleaned. I would recommend this company for anyone looking for honest help to get the right fix without getting ripped off. Posted on Google Kyle Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Honest, thorough (caught a problem a couple people had missed), on time/reliable Posted on Google Barb Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Efficient, clean, and knowledgeable. Posted on Google Wendy Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tyler was great! Hard to find a plumber who preps for a service call like he did. He asked questions before he came over to fix a shower valve so he could make sure he had the right parts for the fixture so he was as efficient as possible when he got here. Communication was great prior to the service call and during. Fixed everything I needed in a couple of hours for a very reasonable price. Posted on Google Ellen Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service, fair pricing, quality work. I feel lucky to have found Tyler Nerdin at Mountain Man Plumbing! Posted on Google Karthik Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tyler was great. He kept his schedule and his work was flawless. Definitely knows his craft. Posted on Google Jon Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service. Tyler updated everything that had been missed with my old water heater, even unplugged my floor drain. Highly recommended. ``` [Read More Reviews →]() ## Questions Homeowners Ask About Our Bathroom repair Questions Homeowners Ask ### What counts as bathroom plumbing repair? Bathroom plumbing includes toilets, faucets, sinks, tub and shower valves, drains, supply connectors and shutoff valves. We also investigate leaks around or behind those fixtures. Tile, waterproofing, structural floor damage and electrical ventilation can require coordination with another trade. [Link to this answer]() ### Do you give pricing before starting bathroom work? Yes. Flat-rate pricing is the standard — you get the number, sign off, and the work starts. If the work uncovers something extra (a corroded angle stop that breaks while being closed, a rotted subfloor under the toilet, a cracked flange under the wax ring), the work pauses, you see it, and you decide before any added cost. [Link to this answer]() ### Can I text photos of my bathroom plumbing issue before booking? Yes — photos save a ton of guesswork. Photo of the fixture, photo of the underside or behind it if accessible, and a close-up of where the leak or damage is. If you know the brand of the toilet, faucet, or shower valve, that info up front speeds the right-parts conversation. [Link to this answer]() ### Do you charge a service fee just to come look? Send photos and describe the problem so we can discuss the work and whether a visit is needed. We explain any diagnostic charge before scheduling. [Link to this answer]() ### How quickly can you come out for bathroom plumbing work? Availability depends on the schedule and the work involved. Call or text for current options, especially if water is spreading or a fixture will not shut off. Do not keep using an actively leaking fixture while waiting. [Link to this answer]() ### My toilet keeps running — can you fix it? Yes. We distinguish water escaping through the flush seal from a fill valve that fails to stop at the correct level, refill-tube issues and other tank faults. Inspect the tank’s water level, fill valve and flush seal to identify the leak. [Link to this answer]() ### Can you replace a toilet? Yes. We check the toilet’s fit, water shutoff, drain flange and supporting floor, then set and test it with the right seal. A damaged flange or soft floor needs attention so the new toilet stays stable and sealed. [Link to this answer]() ### My toilet is wobbly or rocks when I sit on it — is that a problem? Rocking stresses the drain seal and mounting, so the toilet needs a stability and connection check. Loose hardware, an uneven floor, a damaged flange or a weakened subfloor can be involved. Avoid using an unstable toilet and do not overtighten the bolts. [Link to this answer]() ### My toilet won't flush properly — weak flush, partial flush, multiple flushes? A weak flush can involve the tank water level, refill or flush parts, blocked rim passages, or a restriction in the toilet or drain. We evaluate how it fills and flushes before selecting a repair. Stop flushing if the bowl rises toward overflow. [Link to this answer]() ### Can you replace a wax ring or toilet flange? Yes. We trace the water first because the tank and supply can also leak onto the floor. If the base connection has failed, we lift the toilet, inspect its flange and floor, and restore a stable, sealed connection. [Link to this answer]() ### My shower valve drips or won't shut off — can you fix it? Often. A worn cartridge, stem or seal can let water pass after the handle is closed. We identify the valve and matching parts, then check whether the body is sound enough to repair. We can also check available parts coverage with the manufacturer. [Link to this answer]() ### My shower won't get hot — what's wrong? Check whether other hot taps work normally. If they do, we start with the shower’s hot supply, cartridge and temperature control. If every fixture is cold, we follow the problem back toward the water heater. [Link to this answer]() ### My shower scalds me — anti-scald protection? Stop using a shower that becomes dangerously hot. We check both incoming supplies, the valve’s pressure or temperature protection, and its handle limit stop. Testing the water leaving the head shows whether the repair has restored controlled temperature. [Link to this answer]() ### Can you fix a leaky tub spout or diverter? Yes. Dripping with the valve off, leaking at the wall connection and water continuing from the spout while showering have different causes. We check the valve, spout attachment and diverter, then repair the confirmed fault. [Link to this answer]() ### Can you replace a shower head or hand-held wand? Yes. We check the shower arm and connection, then fit and test the replacement. For a weak spray, we first look for buildup in the head or hose and check the flow reaching it. [Link to this answer]() ### My bathroom sink drains slowly — what is that? Hair and buildup around the stopper or trap are common possibilities, along with a restriction farther along the branch. We inspect the assembly and select the appropriate access and clearing method. Tell us about any chemical cleaner already in the drain. [Link to this answer]() ### Why does my bathroom smell like sewer? Possible causes include a dry or compromised trap seal, a toilet connection problem, or a drainage or venting defect. If a rarely used fixture is otherwise sound, restoring water to its trap may help; persistent odor needs investigation. [Link to this answer]() ### Can you handle bathroom plumbing for a remodel or new fixture install? Yes. Choose the fixtures and their locations before walls and tile are finished. We plan the supply, drain and vent routes, set concealed valves at the correct depth, and coordinate the required tests and inspections with the project. [Link to this answer]() ### Do you install customer-supplied bathroom fixtures? Yes. Before installation, confirm dimensions, connection requirements, included parts and compatibility with the existing plumbing. Shower trim must match the concealed valve it is designed for. We explain any missing parts or additional work before proceeding. [Link to this answer]() ### Do you upgrade shutoff valves and supply lines under bathroom fixtures? Yes. During fixture work, we check whether its shutoff closes and whether the valve or supply connector leaks. A worn or damaged connection is easier to replace while that area is already accessible. [Link to this answer]() ### My exhaust fan is dumping moisture in the attic — is that plumbing? An exhaust fan is part of the ventilation system. Discharging humid bathroom air into an attic can damage the building. The duct should discharge outdoors through an appropriate termination; a qualified ventilation contractor can assess the route and installation. [Link to this answer]() ### Do you work with insurance for bathroom leak claims? Mountain Man Plumbing can document the work and provide invoices, photos, and cause-of-loss notes for insurance claims (especially when a wax ring or supply line leak has caused subfloor or ceiling damage), but doesn't bill insurance directly. You pay for the work and submit to your carrier for reimbursement where covered. [Link to this answer]() ### What should I do before the plumber arrives for bathroom work? Clear safe access under the sink and around the fixture. Note the symptoms, timing and any products used in the drain. Stop using a leaking fixture. Only close a working, safely accessible shutoff; do not force a stuck valve or approach wet electrical equipment. [Link to this answer]() ### Can you help if I do not know where my main water shutoff is? Yes. We can locate the house shutoff, check its operation and show you how to use it. A leak on the service pipe before that valve needs help from the water provider or plumber to isolate it farther upstream. [Link to this answer]() ### Are you licensed and insured in Utah? Yes. Mountain Man Plumbing’s Utah plumbing contractor license is \#12992295-5501. The footer links to the license, and we can provide insurance documentation for your project. [Link to this answer]() ### What areas do you service for bathroom plumbing repairs? Based in Sandy, we serve the Salt Lake Valley and nearby communities. Use the service-area links on this page for local information, or call to confirm availability at your address.
