A running toilet, a dripping faucet, a dead garbage disposal — small fixtures, daily aggravation, and real money down the drain (a running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons a day). Gallegos Plumbing has repaired and installed fixtures across Ventura County since 1996 — a licensed contractor, CA Lic. #1022795 — with experienced, background-checked technicians and a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Toilets — Repair and Replacement
Most running or weak-flushing toilets come down to a worn flapper, fill valve, or flush valve — quick repairs we carry parts for. A toilet that clogs over and over can be the drain or the toilet, and it is worth knowing which before spending money. If other fixtures are slow at the same time, the line behind it is the problem and that is a drain cleaning job. If that toilet is the only one struggling, look at the toilet: older bowls scale up with calcium in the rim jets and the siphon passage, and a flush that cannot move water fast enough will keep catching. Cheap low-flow models are their own category — plenty of them never flushed well from new, and no repair changes that. When a toilet is cracked, constantly repaired, or just old and inefficient, we'll install a new one — set correctly on a fresh wax ring and flange, so it doesn't leak underneath a year later.
Faucets and Showers
Drips, low flow, and stiff handles usually trace to worn cartridges and washers — accelerated by Ventura County's hard water, which corrodes fixtures from the inside. We repair what's worth repairing, replace what isn't, and handle shower valve replacements behind the wall. If every fixture in the house is scaling up, water treatment fixes the cause instead of the symptoms.
Garbage Disposals
A humming, jammed disposal can often be repaired on the spot. A leaking or dead one past its 8–12 year lifespan is usually a replacement — installed with the mounting, seals, and drain connections done right, which is where DIY installs typically fail.
