Plumber in Laguna Niguel, CA

What kitchen and bathroom plumbing does Done-Rite handle in Laguna Niguel?

We repair and install faucets, toilets, sinks, showers, tubs and garbage disposals for Laguna Niguel homeowners, plus drain cleaning, water heaters and leak repair.

Most plumbing you touch every day is in the kitchen and bathrooms. When a faucet drips, a toilet runs or a disposal hums without spinning, it's easy to put off. Small problems like these waste water and often get worse. Done-Rite Plumbing & Rooter is a family-owned company, licensed, bonded and insured, and we bring the same care to a faucet swap as we do to a big repair.

Why does a toilet keep running?

A running toilet is usually caused by a worn flapper, a float set too high, or a fill valve that won't shut off. Most of these are quick, low-cost fixes.

Inside the tank, the flapper seals the opening to the bowl. When it gets stiff or warped, water slowly leaks through and the tank keeps refilling. A float that sits too high lets water spill into the overflow tube. We test each part, replace what's worn and check the seal at the base. If the toilet is cracked or very old, we can help you pick a new one. See our toilet installation and repair page.

What does a gurgling toilet mean?

Gurgling often means air is trapped in the drain line. That can come from a partial clog or a blocked vent. If other drains gurgle too, the main line may be involved. Our page on a gurgling toilet explains the causes.

Should you repair a dripping faucet or replace it?

If the faucet is in good shape, a new cartridge or washer usually stops the drip. If it's corroded, loose or dated, a new faucet is often the better value.

A slow drip can waste a surprising amount of water over a year. Most drips come from worn seals inside the faucet. Hard water can wear those seals faster and leave crusty buildup on the spout and handles. We'll take it apart, check the parts and tell you whether a repair will last. We install Moen and Kohler fixtures, along with other brands. Visit our faucet repair and faucet installation pages, or read about Moen fixtures.

Can you replace a sink or shower valve?

Yes. We install and repair kitchen and bathroom sinks, and we replace shower valves that leak or won't hold a steady temperature. Learn more on our shower installation and repair page.

Why does a garbage disposal stop working?

Disposals usually quit because something is jammed in the grinding chamber, the motor overheated and tripped its reset button, or the unit has simply worn out.

Fibrous foods, grease, bones and pits are common troublemakers. A jammed disposal hums but doesn't spin. A tripped one is silent until you press the reset button on the bottom. If the unit leaks from the body or keeps jamming, replacement is usually the smarter move. Fun fact: disposals don't really have sharp blades. Our blog post on how disposal blades work explains why.

What shouldn't go down a disposal?

• Cooking grease and oil
• Coffee grounds and eggshells
• Celery, onion skins and other stringy foods
• Pasta and rice, which swell with water
• Fruit pits and bones

When is it time for a new toilet or tub?

Repairs are often the right call, but not always. A toilet with a cracked tank or bowl can't be safely patched. A toilet that clogs over and over may have a weak flush design. Older tubs can chip, stain or leak around the drain. When you replace a fixture, we remove the old one, set the new one, connect the water and drain, and test for leaks before we leave. A new toilet should flush cleanly, refill quietly and sit firmly on the floor without rocking. See our bathtub installation and repair page, or read about bathroom plumbing basics. We can also help you compare models so the new fixture fits your space and how your household uses it.
