Why Faucet Repair Shouldn’t Be Delayed

Faucets are an essential part of any home, delivering clean water on demand for cooking, cleaning, and hygiene. When they malfunction—whether through leaks, drips, or reduced pressure—it’s more than just an inconvenience. Over time, even a slow leak can lead to increased utility bills, mold growth, and water damage beneath sinks or countertops.

A malfunctioning faucet might seem minor at first, but over time, the impact can escalate. Consider the following potential consequences:

  • Water Waste – A dripping faucet can waste up to 3,000 gallons per year.
  • Cabinet Damage – Continuous leaks can damage wood, laminate, or drywall below.
  • Mold & Mildew Growth – Moisture trapped under sinks creates ideal conditions for fungal growth.
  • Increased Utility Bills – Even minor leaks can have noticeable effects on your monthly water usage.

Common Faucet Problems We Repair

Dripping Faucets

  • Often caused by worn washers or valve seats
  • Ceramic disc or cartridge replacements may be needed for modern models

Low Water Pressure

  • Build-up in aerators or hidden pipe blockages
  • Often resolved with aerator cleaning or replacing internal faucet parts

Loose or Wobbly Handles

  • Usually the result of stripped screws or loose mounting hardware
  • We stabilize fixtures to restore safe and responsive operation

Noisy Faucets

  • Whistling or squealing may point to worn rubber washers or inconsistent water flow
  • We inspect and replace parts that cause noise under pressure

Leaking Around the Base

  • Seals and O-rings degrade over time, especially in high-use areas
  • Resealing the faucet prevents water from seeping beneath sinks and countertops

Irregular Temperature Control

  • Caused by malfunctioning mixing valves or cartridge issues
  • We replace faulty components to restore consistent hot and cold water flow

The Faucet Repair Process

Every faucet repair begins with a careful inspection to identify the root of the problem—not just its symptoms. Our standard repair process includes:

1. Initial Assessment

  • Inspect for leaks, loose fittings, and flow inconsistencies
  • Test water pressure and temperature balance

2. Component Diagnosis

  • Identify whether the issue is with washers, cartridges, valves, or seals
  • Disassemble only necessary parts to preserve faucet integrity

3. Precise Faucet Repair

  • Replace worn or defective parts with compatible, high-quality components
  • Reseal, align, and reassemble with care

4. Testing and Adjustments

  • Confirm proper flow and temperature control
  • Ensure no leaks or drips remain
  • Provide guidance on usage and maintenance

When to Repair vs. Replace a Faucet

Some faucets are worth repairing, especially when built from solid brass or higher-end materials. Others may show signs that replacement is the better long-term option. We evaluate:
  • Age of the Faucet – Fixtures over 15 years old may be near end-of-life.
  • Availability of Parts – Some discontinued models lack replacement components.
  • Visible Corrosion or Rust – Indicates deeper damage to internal mechanisms.
  • Ongoing Issues – Frequent repairs may signal broader system incompatibility.
If replacement is the better route, we guide you through compatible options and offer professional faucet installation to ensure lasting performance. Eco-Friendly and Cost-Efficient Repair Solutions Our repairs go beyond function—we also aim to reduce water waste and improve energy efficiency. As part of our service:
  • We clean or replace aerators to ensure proper flow without waste
  • Recommend WaterSense®-certified upgrades where applicable
  • Use lead-free, BPA-free, and corrosion-resistant parts
