Plumbing Repair in Topeka, KS

Expert Plumbing Repairs by a Licensed Master Plumber

If you’re dealing with a leak, drip, or broken pipe, you need a plumber who knows exactly how to fix it the first time. I’m Jamie O’Harra, owner of O’Harra’s Plumbing Service in Topeka, Kansas. With more than 27 years of hands-on plumbing experience, I handle every repair personally—from diagnosing the problem to completing the fix and testing the system before I leave.

Why Prompt Plumbing Repair Matters

Small plumbing issues rarely stay small. A slow drip can waste thousands of gallons of water each year, drive up your utility bills, and cause hidden water damage. Leaking pipes can rot framing, ruin drywall, and lead to mold growth.

Timely plumbing repair protects your home, prevents costly future damage, and keeps your systems running efficiently. With decades of field experience, I’m able to identify root causes—not just symptoms—so your plumbing stays dependable long after I leave.

Common Plumbing Repairs I Handle

Leaky Pipes and Fittings

Water leaks can hide behind walls, under floors, or in ceilings. I use precise diagnostics and repair techniques to locate the problem and seal it right. I replace corroded or damaged pipe sections, test for additional leaks, and restore full pressure.

Faucet and Fixture Repairs

A dripping faucet or leaky shower valve wastes water and adds to your bill. I repair or replace worn cartridges, seals, and valves, ensuring fixtures operate smoothly and efficiently.

Toilet Repairs

Running toilets, leaks around the base, and weak flushes are common issues I repair. I replace seals, flappers, and fill valves—or install a new toilet if repair isn’t cost-effective.

 Pipe Replacements and Upgrades

Older homes in Topeka often have galvanized or outdated piping. I can replace problem sections or entire runs with modern materials like PEX or copper, improving water flow and reliability.

Water Pressure Problems

If your water pressure is too low or uneven, I’ll check for clogs, leaks, or failing pressure regulators. Once identified, I’ll repair or replace the necessary components to restore balanced pressure.

 Drain and Waste Line Repairs

Clogs and backups can stem from damaged drain pipes or offset joints. I inspect, repair, or replace damaged lines to restore proper flow and prevent future blockages.

 Valve and Shut-Off Replacement

Corroded or stuck valves can make routine maintenance difficult. I replace faulty shut-offs, main valves, and supply stops so you can isolate and control water when needed.
