Shutting Off The Water

We shut the water off at the source, not just at the fixture, before anything gets disconnected. That keeps the job dry and avoids surprises.

Checking The Old Connections

Old supply lines and valves often have mineral buildup or corrosion. We check these before reusing them, since a bad connection is the most common cause of a leak after install.

Sealing The Threads

Every threaded connection gets plumber's tape or pipe dope before it goes back together. Skipping this step is how slow leaks start weeks later.

Testing Before We Leave

Once everything is hooked up, we run the water and check every connection with a dry paper towel. If there's a leak, even a small one, it shows up right away.
