Leak Under Kitchen Sink and Bathtub Issues in Hillsborough
The Problem
The homeowner was concerned about a potential leak under the sink and issues with the bathtub spout and drainage.
What We Found
Nick found flexible drain pieces under the sinks, a spout diverter in the upstairs bathroom that wasn't diverting water properly, and a trip lever assembly that wasn't draining effectively.
The Fix
Nick conducted a thorough inspection of the home's plumbing system and provided multiple estimates with upfront pricing for the necessary repairs, including replacing flexible piping with PVC and fixing the bathtub diverter.
The Result
The homeowner received detailed estimates and is considering the best option for their needs.
Pro Tip
A dripping spout diverter can lead to water pooling around your bathtub, causing bigger issues. If you notice sluggish drainage or leaks, tackle it quickly to avoid water damage and costly repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Plumbing in Hillsborough
Answered by our licensed technicians serving Hillsborough
What plumbing issues are common in Hillsborough historic homes?
Historic Hillsborough homes frequently have galvanized or cast-iron pipes that are corroding after decades of use. We also see lead solder joints in some pre-1986 homes. Re-piping with modern PEX eliminates these concerns and improves water pressure and quality.
Do you offer tankless water heater installation in Hillsborough?
Yes, tankless water heaters are a popular upgrade for Hillsborough homes. They provide endless hot water, save energy, and free up space in closets and utility areas. We install both gas and electric tankless units.
Can you repair sewer lines without digging up my Hillsborough yard?
In many cases, yes. We offer trenchless sewer repair that lines the existing pipe from the inside, avoiding excavation of yards, driveways, and landscaping. This is especially valuable for Hillsborough's established properties with mature landscaping.
How much does re-piping cost for a Hillsborough home?
Whole-home re-piping in Hillsborough typically ranges from $4,000 to $12,000 depending on home size, number of fixtures, and accessibility. Historic homes with plaster walls may require more careful routing. We provide free estimates.
