WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOWWhat faucet and fixture problems does Sherwood Plumbing fix?
We fix dripping faucets, low pressure at a single fixture, shower valve problems, garbage disposal issues, and stuck sink or tub stoppers, plus fixture install for remodels.
Dripping or leaking faucets
The fix depends on the type. A compression faucet drips because of a worn washer (cheap part). A cartridge faucet drips because the cartridge is shot. A ceramic-disc faucet drips because the seals are worn. We identify the type, source the correct part, and swap it. For older faucets where parts are hard to find or the body is corroded, replacement is the better call.
Low pressure at a single fixture
Almost always a clogged aerator or filter screen at the faucet itself. Sometimes it’s a supply-line issue, or an angle-stop valve that’s been partially closed. We check the simplest thing first.
Shower valve problems
A shower that can’t hold a temperature is usually a bad pressure-balancing or thermostatic cartridge. A shower that won’t turn off completely is a failing valve seat. A shower with very low flow is either the showerhead (easy) or the mixing valve (bigger job). Many shower valves in older Sherwood and Tigard homes are single-handle pressure-balance units from the 90s and 2000s. Cartridges for these are still available in most cases, but occasionally the valve body itself is corroded beyond repair and needs replacement behind the wall.
Garbage disposal issues
Most common failure modes:
- Hums but doesn’t spin: stuck impeller. Sometimes we can free it with the manual wrench hole at the bottom; sometimes the motor is burned out and needs replacement.
- Won’t turn on at all: tripped reset button, tripped breaker, or failed motor. Reset first, then troubleshoot.
- Leaks: from the top (sink flange), sides (housing seal), or bottom (motor housing cracked). Top and side leaks are sometimes repairable; bottom leaks usually mean a new unit.
- Loud grinding: something in it that shouldn’t be, or the impeller is chipped.
We replace disposals with InSinkErator or Waste King units, typically. Install is usually under an hour.
Sink and tub stoppers that don’t work
Pop-up assemblies wear out. The linkage gets corroded, the pivot breaks, or the lift rod bends. We rebuild or replace the assembly. Quick fix.
Fixture replacement for remodels
We’re often the plumbing half of a bathroom or kitchen update. Homeowner or designer picks the faucets and fixtures; we remove the old, handle any rough-in adjustments, and install the new. We don’t do tile or cabinet work. We coordinate with whoever does.
GOOD TO KNOWWhat faucet and fixture brands does Sherwood Plumbing install?
We install and service every major brand, including Moen, Delta, Kohler, Grohe, Pfister, and Hansgrohe. We work with every major brand: Moen, Delta, Kohler, Grohe, Pfister, Hansgrohe. If you’ve bought a fixture, we install it. If you want us to supply, we’ll recommend based on the use case (high-traffic kitchen vs guest bath is a different conversation, matte black vs brushed nickel is a finish that wears differently, some cheaper brands’ cartridges are hard to source after 5 years).
OUR PROCESSHow does a faucet or fixture repair visit work?
A tech identifies the issue, confirms part availability, and quotes the job, with most repairs wrapping up the same visit. Call or text (503) 822-5070. If you know the brand and model of the fixture, have that ready when you call. We can pre-stock the right cartridge or parts.
On site, we identify the issue, confirm the part availability, and quote. Most faucet repairs and garbage disposal replacements wrap up the same visit. Shower valve cartridge replacements usually same visit; full valve body replacements sometimes need a second visit if access has to be cut in the wall behind the shower.
Payment at the end: credit card or check.
OUR PROCESSWhy choose Sherwood Plumbing for faucet and fixture work?
Our trucks roll up stocked so we can finish most jobs the first visit, and we take on the complex shower-valve and remodel work other shops dread. This is where the difference between a stocked truck and a half-prepared one shows up. Most fixture failures we can diagnose in 10 minutes — but only if we walk in with the right parts to actually finish the job. Our trucks roll up stocked. When we can finish on the first visit, we do.
Where we shine is the work other shops dread: complex shower-valve cartridges in older Sherwood and Tigard homes, garbage-disposal swaps in tight under-sink space, fixture rough-in adjustments during a remodel. Devin’s been doing this for close to 20 years. We solve problems other shops walk away from. And while we work, we’ll walk you through what failed and what to watch for next — that’s part of our proven process.
ABOUT SHERWOOD PLUMBINGAbout the shop
Sherwood Plumbing has been running since 2013 under Devin Drew Adams. We’re headquartered in Sherwood, the only plumbing company actually based in town. Our techs know the housing stock around here: the 1970s gas tank in a Sherwood ranch, the 2015 tankless in a Villebois build, the electric tank in a Cedar Hills postwar home. That local knowledge is the difference between a diagnosis that takes 20 minutes and one that takes two hours.
We carry $1,000,000 in general liability through Contractors Bonding & Insurance. Oregon CCB license #200851 (Plumbing, Residential RGC General Contractor). PB1381 with the Oregon Building Codes Division. $25,000 surety bond. 220 Google reviews at 4.7 stars.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSFrequently asked questions
We don’t quote faucet work over the phone. Most kitchen and bath repairs are a cartridge or washer swap, but the actual cost depends on the brand, what’s available for the model, and whether the under-sink space is workable. We come out, identify what’s failing, and give you a written price before we start. Service-call jobs are billed on completion. For larger projects — full bathroom or kitchen fixture suites going in during a remodel — we collect a deposit at the start and work through a milestone pay schedule.
Yes, in most cases. If the unit is missing parts or is a non-standard rough-in, we’ll tell you before we start.
Usually 45 to 90 minutes. The install itself is fast; most of the time is under-sink access and re-connecting the drain and dishwasher line.
The plumbing side, yes: rough-in, rough plumbing, fixture install, final connections. We coordinate with your tile/cabinet/general contractor but we don’t do that work ourselves.
Usually a failing pressure-balancing cartridge in the mixing valve. Sometimes it’s inadequate hot water delivery from an undersized water heater. We diagnose before recommending.
