Plumbing Repairs
The small leaks and loose fittings that turn into water damage if they sit too long.
A dripping supply line under a sink, a slow leak at a shutoff valve, or a fitting that's worked loose over time are the kind of plumbing issues that don't need a full plumbing crew but shouldn't be ignored either. These visits focus on accessible, contained repairs rather than whole-house plumbing work.
Older shore homes and rental properties tend to have a mix of original and updated plumbing, and salt-air humidity can accelerate corrosion on exposed fittings. Part of the visit is identifying whether a fix is a simple tighten-and-seal job or something that points to a larger issue in the line.
Anything involving main line repairs, repiping, water heater replacement, or sewer and septic work falls outside handyman scope and should go to a licensed plumber. That distinction is made clear before any work begins.
Problems we get called about
Dripping or leaking fittings

Loose or wobbly fixtures
Sink drains, tub spouts, or supply lines that have loosened from normal use and need re-securing.
Slow drains
Sinks or tubs that drain slowly due to a partial clog that hasn't required professional drain cleaning yet.
Running or leaking shutoff valves
Valves under sinks or behind toilets that no longer seal fully when closed.
Minor pipe insulation and access issues
Exposed pipes in crawlspaces or under sinks that need insulation or minor repair to prevent freeze damage.
