Minor Plumbing Services
You know that drip in the bathroom, the one you keep promising yourself you'll fix? Or maybe your kitchen sink drains just slow enough to be annoying but not quite a crisis. Most people have something like that at home. Sometimes it’s easier to ignore minor plumbing problems, convincing yourself that nothing bad will happen. The truth is, even a tiny leak or a slow drain may suggest an underlying problem that won’t fix itself. Messing around with plumbing repairs can eat up a Saturday, with no guarantee the issue won’t come back next week.
FixHome+ offers minor plumbing services you can actually count on. Yes, you get a trusted handyman from FixHome+ for those nagging jobs you’d rather not deal with. There’s something to be said for calling in a technician who’s handled countless plumbing repairs, instead of spending hours scrolling through how-to videos or online directories.
Our Minor Plumbing Services
The kinds of repairs most folks put off are the ones we tackle every day. These aren’t huge projects, but they can make a big difference in how your house runs from week to week. We handle the smaller plumbing fixes and installations that don’t require a contractor. You get a technician who shows up with the right tools and enough experience to spot the little quirks in your plumbing.
Here’s what our plumbing services usually cover:
Leak Assessment and Fixes
We track down even the small, persistent leaks, like the drip under your sink or a slow seep behind a faucet, and repair them before they lead to water damage, mold, or wasted utility costs.
Faucet Replacement
If your faucet is broken, old, or just out of style, we'll take it out and put in a new one. We check that everything is sealed correctly and working well, so you don't have to bother with leaks or water flow problems.
Garbage Disposal Installation
We'll take care of the wiring and safe mounting, whether you need a new trash disposal or need to replace a broken one. You can count on it to work without worrying about clogs or electrical problems.
Basement Sump Pump Replacement
Our specialist takes out the old sump pump and puts in the new one to make sure your basement stays dry even in bad weather. This keeps everything you store underground safe and stops water damage.
Plumbing Inspections
We evaluate every part of your home's plumbing system. Service includes checking out the pipes, fixtures, and drains to find problems. You may relax knowing that this regular checkup will help you prevent expensive surprises.
Faucet Inspection for Leaks, Aerator Cleaning
We check for concealed leaks and clean the aerators (the small mesh bits at the tip of a faucet) to make sure they aren't clogged. A deep cleaning increases water pressure and saves water.
Basement Injector Pump Replacement
When your home relies on an injector pump, it needs to work without fail. We remove old units and install new ones so wastewater is pumped away reliably, keeping your basement clean and sanitary.
Need help with other home projects? We handle nearly 80 different services, and if you can imagine it, we can probably do it.
Finding a plumber who doesn’t treat a dripping faucet like a nuisance call isn’t always simple. Most companies would rather take on bigger jobs, the kind that come with a hefty invoice. What we’re aiming for is a bit different: reliable help for minor plumbing fixes, the kind that most homeowners collect but hate to tackle. You shouldn’t have to call a new service every time you notice a small leak or odd smell from a drain. With FixHome+, you get someone familiar with your place and its quirks, which really matters over the long haul.
We take these small jobs seriously. Just because it’s not a full renovation doesn’t mean it matters less. Putting off minor plumbing repairs may lead to something much bigger (and much more expensive) down the road. Regular maintenance actually lowers your odds of a surprise flood or major repair bill.

Is a FixHome+ Subscription Worth It?
Relying on FixHome+ for minor plumbing repair takes the guesswork (and the wasted time) out of home maintenance. You know up front what you’ll pay, because pricing is clear—no random fees that only show up on the bill. You can stack your to-do list for plumbing repairs in the same place you manage your other household jobs.
Flexibility may sound like a worn-out promise, but that’s what you really get: set repair visits around your own routine instead of the other way around. Over time, you start to see the same technician each visit. They pick up on what’s normal (and what’s not) for your home, so nothing slips through the cracks. Little by little, things get fixed and stay fixed. Yes, especially when you consider what one emergency plumber visit costs versus year-round access to reliable help.
