At a glance
These are small parts that cause big problems when they fail: a shut-off that will not close in an emergency, a dripping hose bib or pressure that bangs the pipes.
An old gate valve that will not turn, or leaks when it does, is replaced with a ball valve for $279.
The small valves under sinks and toilets corrode and seize. $279 each, or $89 each when we are already at your home doing other work.
A dripping or broken outdoor faucet is replaced for $279. A hose bib splitter is $219, half off with other work.
If your house pressure runs over 80 psi, a pressure reducing valve brings it down, $399 installed.
On a closed system, a thermal expansion tank absorbs the pressure a water heater creates. $349 for 2 gallons or $449 for 4.5 gallons.
The Moen Flo smart water monitor watches your water use and can shut the water off when it detects a leak, $999 with the device.

Some hose bibs can only be reached by opening the wall or the block behind them; we tell you first, and we do not patch concrete or stucco afterward. The recirculating pump price does not include a new recirculation line, which is quoted separately. The Moen Flo needs an electrical outlet nearby.
Our water and our older homes are hard on valves.

An angle stop replacement is $279. If we are already at your home doing other work, extra angle stops are $89 each.
Installing a house pressure reducing valve is $399. The Florida plumbing code calls for one when the static water pressure is over 80 psi.
If your system is closed, for example by a pressure reducing valve or a check valve, a thermal expansion tank protects the water heater and the pipes. Most local codes require one on closed systems. A 2 gallon tank is $349 and a 4.5 gallon tank is $449.
That is water hammer: the water stops suddenly and the pipe shakes. A water hammer arrestor is $279, and we also check whether the house pressure is too high.
Replacing a hose bib (outdoor faucet) is $279. Sometimes we have to open the wall or block behind it; we tell you first, and we do not patch concrete or stucco afterward.
