When to call Pat

  • Plastic push-pull shut-off valves or plastic supply lines under your sinks and toilets.
  • A shut-off that won’t close, or leaks when you turn it.
  • Pipes that bang when a tap shuts off.
  • Water pressure that is too high, too low or keeps changing.

How Pat handles it

For shut-offs, Pat replaces the builder’s plastic valves and lines with quarter-turn valves and braided supply lines, so you can turn the water off when you need to.

For pressure and banging pipes, the usual suspect is the pressure reducing valve where the water comes into the house. Pat can often tell from a call or a photo, gives you the options and the price, and tells you when nothing needs replacing.

Newer Castle Rock homes

Many of Pat’s customers live in newer homes, and the same builder-grade parts come up again and again: plastic shut-offs, supply lines and valves that fail early. If you have one leak from a plastic valve, ask Pat about the rest of them.
