Trusted Plumbing for Renovations

Greater Houston’s municipal supply carries 8 to 15+ grains per gallon of dissolved calcium and magnesium. As hard water flows through your faucets and toilets, these minerals precipitate out as hard, chalky limescale.
 

○ Stuck Valve Cartridges: Scale bakes into the tight tolerances of ceramic disc and compression cartridges, causing handles to stick, squeak, or fail to shut off completely. 

○ Cluttered Aerators & Sputtering Flow: Mineral deposits clog the fine mesh screens at the tip of your spout, destroying your water pressure. 

○ Sluggish Toilet Fill Valves: Scale buildup chokes off internal tank ports, leading to noisy, slow refills and constant ghost flushing.

The Lucio Fix: We don't just put a temporary band-aid on a leak. We rebuild fixtures using OEM heavy-duty brass and hard-water-rated rubber seals engineered to withstand high mineral loads.

 

-Pressure & Mineral Audit: We check incoming water pressure (PSI) to ensure excessive municipal surges aren't causing your seals to burst repeatedly.
-Precision Extraction: We extract mineral-welded cartridges and rusted closet bolts without scoring or damaging your underlying porcelain or granite countertops.
-Seat & Bore Resurfacing: We clean, descale, and hone internal valve housings to remove calcium pitting before installing new parts.
-Torque-Calibrated Mounting: We reset toilets using heavy-duty brass bolts and level shims to ensure zero wobbling and a permanent subfloor seal.
 

Q: Why does my toilet keep running if I already replaced the flapper myself?
A: In Houston, high city water pressure (over 80 PSI) often forces water past even brand-new flappers, or the flush valve seat itself has developed microscopic scale pits that prevent a true seal. We check both pressure regulation and valve integrity to fix it right the first time.

Q: Can you save my luxury or vintage faucet, or do I have to buy a new one?
A: In 90% of cases, we can fully restore luxury, custom, or vintage faucets by extracting the worn internal components, descaling the housing, and retrofitting high-grade OEM cartridges (Moen, Kohler, Delta, Newport Brass, etc.)

Q: What causes water to collect around the toilet base, and is it urgent?
A: Yes, it is an urgent fix. Water at the base indicates a blown wax ring or a cracked closet flange beneath the porcelain. Every flush forces contaminated water directly onto your subfloor and joists, leading to hidden rot and costly structural floor repairs if left untreated.
