Common Faucet Problems We Fix

A broken faucet can present itself in many ways, from obvious leaks to subtle performance issues. Understanding the signs of a problem can help you know when to call a professional before a small issue becomes a bigger one. We have the tools and parts to handle all types of faucet malfunctions.

• Constant Dripping: The most common issue, often caused by a worn-out washer or O-ring, leads to significant water waste over time.
• Leaks From the Base: Puddles forming around the bottom of the faucet usually point to failing seals inside the faucet body.
• Low Water Pressure: Mineral buildup or a blockage within the faucet or aerator can restrict water flow to a frustrating trickle.
• Squeaky or Stiff Handle: Difficulty turning the handle or a loud squeaking sound often means the internal cartridge needs to be lubricated or replaced.
• Rust or Corrosion: Visible rust on the faucet is a sign of internal decay, which can affect your water quality and signal that the fixture is near the end of its life.

Ignoring these problems can lead to higher water bills and potential water damage to your countertops and cabinets.

• Final Testing and Cleanup: After reassembling the faucet, we turn the water back on and test it thoroughly. We check for leaks, test the water pressure, and ensure the handles operate smoothly.

The Importance of Professional Faucet Repair

While fixing a leaky faucet might seem like a simple DIY project, it can quickly become complicated. Modern faucets have many small, intricate parts, and using the wrong tool or part can scratch the fixture, damage the internal mechanism, or even make the leak worse than it was before.

A professional plumber has the specific tools and a wide inventory of replacement parts to do the job correctly. They can quickly identify the source of the leak, which is often not as obvious as it seems, and ensure the repair is made with the right components for a lasting solution.

Hiring an expert saves you from the frustration of multiple trips to the hardware store and the risk of causing more significant damage. It provides the assurance that the job is done right, preventing further water waste and protecting your home from potential water damage.
