A leaking tub spout in Ram’s Midtown Atlanta home seemed like a small issue, until we found water pooling around the base of the toilet too. What started as a quick repair turned into something bigger, and that’s why a careful inspection matters. One call uncovered several issues and gave us the chance to make sure everything was fixed the right way.
Bryan, one of our licensed plumbing techs, arrived quickly and got to work. He confirmed the tub spout was leaking, but also noticed signs of water around the toilet. Turns out, the bolts and hardware underneath the toilet tank had worn down and were letting water leak out. It’s the kind of thing that can easily go unnoticed until real damage starts to show.
We started with the shower repair. The old trim was stuck in place, so our team carefully drilled out a stripped screw to remove it. Behind it, a worn-out cartridge had to come out too—that’s the part that controls your hot and cold water.
Once everything was cleaned and inspected, we installed a brand new Delta shower cartridge and trim kit, tested the water pressure, and sealed everything up with clear-drying caulk for a clean, professional finish.
The leak around the base wasn’t just messy, it meant the toilet had to be replaced. Bryan pulled the old one, cleaned up the area underneath, and prepped it for a new install. A new Kohler toilet went in with a wax ring and fresh bolts to keep everything solid and sealed. After a final round of testing, he sealed the base to prevent future leaks and leave the space looking neat.
Every repair on this job was done with long-term performance in mind. From the new shower components to the new toilet installation, each part was chosen to ensure it would hold up to daily use. We also provided Ram with a one-year warranty on parts and labor, adding an extra layer of confidence that everything will keep working exactly as it should.
