Faucet & Toilet Repair in Fargo, ND
Plumbing fixtures wear out, and in Fargo the winter adds its own problems. Outdoor faucets left with a hose attached freeze and split inside the wall. Pipes along exterior walls and in crawlspaces can freeze during a bad cold snap. Faucets drip, toilets run, and supply lines that were installed decades ago start to weep or crack. Older homes still have original fixtures with worn seals, and new homes have builder-grade faucets that often loosen at the base or leak under the sink within a few years. A running toilet or a dripping faucet is easy to put off, but it adds up on the water bill and can lead to bigger damage.
We fix faucets and toilets properly the first time. For faucets, we replace cartridges, washers and O-rings, or install a new faucet if the old one is worn out. For toilets, we replace flappers, fill valves, flush valves and wax rings, fix rocking toilets and install new toilets. Our licensed plumbers make the connections, including replacing shutoff valves and supply lines, installing garbage disposals, and replacing frozen outdoor faucets with frost-free models. We check for leaks before we leave and clean up the area.

How a faucet & toilet repair visit usually goes
Find the Leak
We check where the water is coming from, test the shutoff and look at the condition of the fixture and supply lines.
Shut Off and Protect
We shut off the water, protect the cabinet or floor and remove the worn parts or old fixture.
Repair or Replace
We install new parts or a new fixture, with clean, tight connections and fresh supply lines when needed.
Test and Clean Up
We turn the water back on, check for leaks, run the fixture and clean up.
Water in the Red River Valley carries minerals that leave scale in faucet aerators, cartridges and toilet valves over time, which leads to low flow, drips and toilets that don't shut off cleanly. Many Fargo homes have water softeners, but scale still builds up in older fixtures. We clean aerators, replace scaled parts and recommend fixtures with ceramic cartridges that hold up better. In older homes, we often find original shutoff valves that won't close fully, and we replace those during the repair so you have a working shutoff next time.
What shapes the price in Fargo
Faucet and toilet repair cost depends on what's worn and how accessible it is. Replacing a flapper or a cartridge is quick. Replacing a whole faucet takes longer, especially when old, corroded nuts have to be cut free or the sink has an unusual configuration. Toilets that need new wax rings, closet bolts or a flange repair take more time. Stuck or seized shutoff valves need to be replaced. Opening a wall to replace a frozen outdoor faucet adds patching time. Doing several plumbing repairs in one visit is the most economical way.
Neighbors often ask
My outdoor faucet froze. Can you replace it?
Yes. A split outdoor faucet often doesn't show a leak until you turn it on in spring, and then water runs inside the wall. We open up the area as little as possible, replace the faucet with a frost-free model sized to the wall thickness, make sure it's pitched to drain, and patch the wall afterward. To prevent it next year, disconnect hoses before the first hard freeze.
My toilet keeps running. Is it worth repairing?
Usually, yes. A running toilet is most often a worn flapper, a fill valve that doesn't shut off, or a chain or float that's out of adjustment. Those parts are inexpensive and quick to replace. If the toilet is cracked, rocks after the floor has been damaged, or is very old and inefficient, replacing it may make more sense, and we'll tell you honestly which way to go.
Can you install a garbage disposal?
Yes. We install new disposals and replace old ones, connecting the drain, the dishwasher knockout and the electrical connection, and check for leaks and proper operation before we leave.
What should I do if a pipe freezes?
Shut off the water to that line if you can, open the faucet so melting water has somewhere to go, and warm the area gently with a space heater or hair dryer, never an open flame. If the pipe has split, call us; our licensed plumbers can repair the section and suggest ways to keep it from freezing again.
Can you replace the shutoff valves under my sinks and toilets?
Yes. Older multi-turn valves often seize or drip after years of sitting untouched, and you don't want to find that out during a leak. Our licensed plumbers replace them with quarter-turn shutoffs and new braided supply lines, which makes future repairs easier and gives you a valve that actually closes when it matters. It's a good job to pair with a faucet or toilet replacement.
Why does my toilet tank sweat in the summer?
Fargo's water comes into the house cold, and on humid July days the outside of the tank and bowl drops below the dew point, so moisture beads up and drips onto the floor. Over time that can stain flooring and rot the subfloor. An insulating liner inside the tank, a mixing valve, or simply running the bathroom fan longer usually solves it, and we can install whichever fits your bathroom.
