Do you have a leaky faucet? Our faucet repair professionals have you covered. We encounter this issue often and have an easy solution to all faucet repairs. If you have a leaky faucet, call us! Dripping faucets waste, on average, 210 gallons of water per month. Additionally, it can also be very costly if left unattended. It is time to put a stop to a leaking faucet.

If you have a faucet problem, it’s very easy to blame the manufacturer or think your faucet has just reached the end of its shelf life.  Both of these statements can be true, but if you’re suffering from any faucet issues it’s worth taking a look to see if the issue can be fixed.

Common faucet issues

  • Leaks
  • Loss of water pressure
  • Rusting
  • General wear and tear

We often take our plumbing fixtures for granted until there is a problem. Sometimes these problems can be solved with minor repairs, but sometimes a complete overhaul is required.  As a homeowner, without calling in a plumber, how do you know whether it’s time to fix or replace?

IF WATER IS LEAKING AROUND THE BASE OF THE HANDLE:
Usually, this type of leak can be fixed by removing the handle and tightening the adjusting rings. A worn cartridge causes many leaks of this type and can be solved by replacing the O-rings on the cartridge when they’re worn out. If internal parts are so worn that replacement washers, O-rings, screws, clips, and valve assembly don’t solve the problem any longer, it’s time for a new faucet.

IF YOUR FAUCET SQUEAKS: 
Over time, the threads at the stem of the faucet become worn. The simplest way to correct this is by removing the handle and coating the threads with plumbers grease then reassembling the faucet.

WATER IS DRIBBLING OUT OR SPRAYING IN AN INCONSISTENT WAY:

An unusual flow is often associated with the diverter valve or a faulty aerator. Both parts can be removed, examined for grime or build-up, and replaced.

SCRATCHES TO THE SURFACE OR CHIPS TO CERAMIC: 
Both of these problems indicate a need for a new faucet. You can, of course, live with the scratches, but they cannot be repaired. Ceramic ages poorly, and once it begins to break down, repair doesn’t last.
