Before and after
What the homeowner called about
A rental property in Broken Arrow needed a garbage disposal replacement along with a new toilet flapper, cartridge, and handle.
What our plumber found
Our crew inspected the rental home and found a failing garbage disposal, a worn toilet flapper, and a damaged faucet cartridge and handle.
How we fixed it
We replaced the garbage disposal using our upfront price book pricing, installed a new toilet flapper, and swapped out the cartridge and handle to restore full function.
More from this visit
We investigated a disposal that had stopped working after attempts to reset and unjam it had not helped. Our investigation found that the disposal was not receiving power, so we identified an electrical problem and recommended calling an electrician. In the hallway bathroom, the toilet had been filling at random times. We found that its flapper was badly deteriorated and broken on the left side. We obtained a 3-inch replacement flapper, and after installation, the toilet operated properly. We also noted that the fill valve sounded like it was going out.
We also looked into the hallway tub/shower handle, which kept coming loose even after its screw was tightened. After we replaced the handle and cartridge, the handle was secure and the tub/shower worked properly. At the master bathroom vanity, we found hair clogging the drain and another issue contributing to slow drainage: the push-button plunger was preventing the pop-up assembly from opening fully. We recommended keeping the plunger out of the sink drain and identified replacement of the pop-up drain assembly as a recommended next step.
Signs to keep an eye on
- A toilet that refills when no one has flushed may have a leaking flapper or another tank component that needs attention.
- If a shower handle repeatedly loosens after tightening, have the handle and its connection checked.
- Keep hair out of bathroom sink drains, and watch for stoppers that do not open fully.
What this means for your home
Addressing multiple minor plumbing items in a rental property during a single visit keeps fixtures working reliably for tenants.
