Angle Stops
Angle stops are the valves that turn water on and off at each fixture. Angle stops have supply lines that feed water to your fixtures. Old angle stops can seize up and not allow you to turn your water on and off. Sometimes they leak. Make sure your angle stops are in good working condition so, if you have an emergency, you can shut the water off to prevent a flood and avoid having to shut the water off to the entire house.

Clogged Drains 
Most toilet clogs are caused by accumulations of paper products in the bowl’s narrow trap or by miscellaneous items that accidentally fall into the toilet and get stuck in the trap. A complete blockage can cause a toilet to overflow; a partial clog can result in sluggish flushing. Whatever the cause -- toilet blockages are more than frustrating. If your sinks are also clogged you may have a main line blockage. In either case, give LeapFrog Plumbing a call. We'll have your lines clear in a jiffy.

Earthquake Valves / Seismic Valves 
In California, we know the next earthquake is just around the corner. Earthquakes can snap your gas lines posing a threat of a potentially fatal gas leak. You can eliminate this worry by installing an earthquake or seismic valve. If a gas line breaks during an earthquake, the earthquake valve automatically shuts off the gas supply to your house.

Emergency Shut Off Valves, Ball Valves and Gate Valves 
Ball valves and gate valves open and shut your water supply. Ball valves have long surpassed gate valves in residential applications. In ball valves, turning the handle just a quarter turn activates a hollow ball inside the casing that keeps water from flowing through. With gate valves, you have to spin the handle several times to shut the water off. Gate valves tend to leak, seize, and have their handles break off. You don't want this to happen in an emergency. LeapFrog can change out your old gate valves with new ball valves in a jiffy.

Faucets 
Is your faucet leaking or corroding or maybe you just want to update your look and improve functionality. You might like a new Price Pfister pull-out faucet. The convenience is awesome. The new finishes will give your kitchen new sparkle. We'll be glad to sit down with you to go over the options and talk about which faucets perform best.
|
Garbage Disposals 
Is your Garbage Disposal too loud or sticking frequently? We recommend the Insinkerator brand garbage disposals. You'll like their quiet and smooth operation.
|
Gas Lines
Are you planning to install a new gas range, gas dryer, outdoor barbeque, or fireplace indoors or outdoors. We will calculate whether your existing gas lines and fixtures will handle the extra demand. LeapFrog is qualified in gas line replacement if you need increased capacity.
|
Hose Bibs / Spigots
Does your hose bib or spigot drip? Is it hard to turn on and off? Does it spray you every time you turn the water on? If you answered yes to any of the above, it's time to replace your old hose bib or spigot. You'll save water (important in these times!)and make your life easier.
|
Hot Water Dispensers
Is your hot water dispenser leaking or just not working? Or are you considering installing a new hot water dispenser? We recommend and install Insinkerator Hot Water Dispensers. Call us today for a free estimate.
|
Icemaker Boxes 
Have you purchased a new refrigerator requiring a water line for water and ice making? Is your current line kinked, have restricted flow, or not shut off? We'll be glad to install a new icemaker box or dedicated line directly to your fridge.
|
Laundry Box 
Are you relocating your washer and dryer? Are your plumbing lines exposed or preventing your washing machine from going going back closer to the wall? Consider a laundry box that will put your water lines and drain lines inside the wall to give you more space and a better, cleaner look.
|
Pressure-Reducing Valves
A pressure-reducing valve regulates the maximum pressure of the water that comes into your house. To keep your fixtures in good working order and prevent a blowout or leak, the pressure coming into your house should not exceed 80 p.s.i. 80 p.s.i. gives you plenty of pressure for showering and avoids a lot of potential problems. We'll be glad to check your pressure for you and install a pressure-reducing valve if the pressure it too high.
|
P-Traps and DWV Systems
P-traps and Drain/Waste/Ventilation (DWV) systems keep the methane and other stinky gases that form in your pipes from coming into your house. Over each drain, you also need a riser that terminates in a vent above the roof to permit gas to escape. You need P-traps everywhere gas can form, except under your toilet, whose bowl itself serves as a trap. When you shut off the sink a small amount of water remains in the P-trap, blocking the gases.
|
Toilets
Is your toilet giving you problem after problem, not flushing right, or backing upconstantly after you've had your line snaked? It might be time to think about a new Toto Drake toilet. We like Totos. They last well and perform even better. Call LeapFrog for a free estimate.
|
Tub/Shower Valves
Are your bathtub or shower leaking? You'll be surprised by how much water a "little leak" can waste. Is your water getting too hot or too cold? In many cases, the shower or bathtub valve have gone bad, and can be fixed simply changing out the old cartridge. If there's too much corrosion, we can replace the valve for you.
|
Water Heaters
If your water heater's more than 10 years old it has probably lost efficiency. If it's time for a new water heater, we can replace it with a new A.O. Smith hot water heater or, even better, a new tankless water heater from Noritz. Tankless water heaters are great for endless hot water, lower utility bills, and a smaller carbon footprint.
|
Water Mains
The water main carries water from the meter to the service entrance of your house. In the event of a leak, you should call us right away. Water main leaks can be sneaky. If you see a mysterious puddle of water in your yard that won't seem to go away, your water bill has soared in the last month, or maybe you have an old galvanized water main, you probably have a leak in the water main. Call us to schedule an appointment. We'll hop right to it! |
