Common Faucet Problems We Repair
Dripping Faucets
A dripping faucet is one of the most common and annoying plumbing problems. That constant drip-drip-drip wastes water, drives up utility bills, and can be maddening at night. A single dripping faucet can waste 3,000+ gallons annually, costing you money unnecessarily.
Faucet drips typically result from worn washers or O-rings in compression faucets, deteriorated cartridges in cartridge faucets, faulty ceramic disc assemblies, or corroded valve seats. Our plumbers identify the cause and make appropriate repairs, stopping the drip and saving water.
Leaking Under the Sink
Water pooling under your sink indicates leaks that can damage cabinets and cause mold growth. Under-sink leaks come from loose supply line connections, corroded supply lines, failed faucet gaskets, or cracked faucet bodies.
We locate leak sources and make proper repairs, preventing water damage and protecting your cabinets.
Low Water Pressure
Reduced water flow from faucets makes washing dishes and hands frustrating. Low pressure can result from clogged aerators (mineral deposits), blocked cartridges or internal passages, partially closed shut-off valves, or problems in your home’s main water supply.
We diagnose pressure problems and restore proper flow through cleaning, repairs, or replacements as needed.
Hard to Turn or Stiff Handles
Faucet handles that are difficult to turn indicate internal problems—mineral buildup, worn cartridges, corroded stems, or damaged internal mechanisms. We repair or replace internal components to restore smooth operation.
Squealing or Noisy Faucets
Unusual sounds from faucets—squealing, chattering, or hammering—indicate problems that require attention. Causes include worn washers vibrating, loose parts, high water pressure, or water hammer in pipes. We identify and fix the source of noise.
Faucet Handle Breaks or Falls Off
Loose or broken faucet handles result from stripped screws, cracked handles, or worn set screws. We repair or replace handles to restore proper function.
Sprayer Problems
Kitchen faucet sprayers can develop issues including leaking sprayer hoses, clogged sprayer heads reducing flow, sprayers that won’t switch between modes, or hoses that won’t retract properly. We repair or replace sprayer components as needed.
Rust or Corrosion
Visible rust or corrosion on faucets indicates deterioration that will worsen. While some surface rust can be addressed, extensive corrosion typically requires faucet replacement.
When to Repair vs. Replace Your Faucet
Repair Makes Sense When:
• The faucet is relatively new (less than 10 years old)
– The problem is a simple mechanical issue (washer, O-ring, cartridge)
– The faucet body and finish are in good condition
– Replacement parts are readily available
– You’re satisfied with the faucet’s style and performance
– Repair costs are minimal
Many faucet problems can be repaired affordably. We repair faucets whenever it’s the practical choice.
Replacement Makes Sense When:
• The faucet is old (15+ years) with outdated technology
– You have recurring problems requiring frequent repairs
– The faucet body is corroded or cracked
– The finish is severely deteriorated
– You want to upgrade style or functionality
– Replacement parts are unavailable or expensive
– Repair costs approach replacement costs
Modern faucets offer better water efficiency, improved functionality, and updated styles. Replacing an old faucet often provides better long-term value than repeated repairs.
Types of Faucets We Install
Kitchen Faucets
Kitchen faucets come in various styles and configurations:
Single-Handle vs. Two-Handle: Single-handle faucets offer easy one-handed temperature and flow control. Two-handle faucets provide precise temperature adjustment with separate hot and cold handles.
Pull-Down vs. Pull-Out Sprayers: Pull-down faucets have tall spouts with sprayers that pull straight down. Pull-out faucets have lower profiles with sprayers that pull out toward you. Both offer flexible spraying for cleaning dishes and sinks.
Touchless/Motion-Activated: Touchless faucets turn on with hand motion, offering convenience and hygiene. They’re increasingly popular in kitchens.
Commercial-Style: Professional-style faucets with spring spouts provide maximum flexibility and spraying power, similar to restaurant kitchens.
Bathroom Faucets
Bathroom faucets include several types:
Centerset Faucets: Compact units with handles and spout on a single base, fitting 4-inch center holes. These are common in bathrooms.
Widespread Faucets: Separate hot and cold handles with independent spout, providing elegant appearance and requiring 8-inch spread.
Single-Hole Faucets: Single-handle faucets requiring only one mounting hole, offering contemporary styling.
Wall-Mount Faucets: Mounted on walls rather than sinks, providing unique styling and easier sink cleaning.
Vessel Sink Faucets: Tall faucets designed for vessel (above-counter) sinks.
Utility and Laundry Faucets
Utility sinks and laundry rooms need durable, functional faucets designed for heavy-duty use. We install appropriate utility faucets for these applications.
Finish Options
Faucets come in numerous finishes including chrome (classic, durable, affordable), brushed nickel (popular, resists fingerprints), oil-rubbed bronze (traditional, warm appearance), stainless steel (matches appliances, durable), matte black (contemporary, dramatic), and more. We help you select finishes that match your décor.

Step 3: Professional Installation
We install your new faucet properly including assembling faucet components, installing mounting hardware, connecting supply lines with appropriate fittings, ensuring proper positioning and alignment, and sealing around the base to prevent water infiltration.
Step 4: Connection and Testing

Benefits of Professional Faucet Installation
Proper Installation Prevents Leaks
DIY faucet installation often results in leaks from improper connections, overtightened fittings that crack, missing or incorrect washers, or improper sealing around the base. Professional installation ensures leak-free operation from day one.
Correct Tools and Expertise
Faucet installation requires basin wrenches for tight spaces, proper plumber’s putty or gasket sealing, knowledge of different faucet types, and experience with various sink configurations. We have the right tools and expertise for any installation.
Time Savings
Faucet installation can be frustrating for homeowners, especially in tight under-sink spaces. Our professionals complete installations efficiently while you avoid hassle and potential mistakes.
Warranty Protection
Some faucet manufacturers require professional installation to maintain warranties. Our licensed plumbers provide installation that protects your warranty coverage.
Avoiding Damage
Improper installation can damage sinks, countertops, or supply lines. Professional installation protects your property from installation-related damage.
Faucet Maintenance Tips
Clean Aerators Regularly
Faucet aerators (screens at the spout end) trap mineral deposits that reduce flow. Every few months, unscrew aerators, rinse out debris, soak in vinegar to dissolve minerals, and reinstall. This maintains good water pressure.
Address Drips Promptly
Don’t ignore dripping faucets. Small drips worsen over time and waste significant water. Early repair is simpler and less expensive than waiting until problems become severe.
Gentle Operation
Don’t force faucet handles or over-tighten when closing. Gentle operation extends faucet life and prevents damage to internal components.
Clean Faucets Properly
Use mild soap and water to clean faucets. Avoid abrasive cleaners that damage finishes. Dry faucets after cleaning to prevent water spot buildup, especially on chrome and polished finishes.
Address Hard Water Issues
If you have hard water causing mineral buildup, consider water softening or filtration to protect faucets and extend their lifespan.
