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.

Our Faucet Repair Process

At Rick Hartman Plumbing, we approach every job with the precision and care that comes from four generations of experience. We know you want your faucet fixed quickly and correctly, so we follow a straightforward process to restore function and stop leaks for good, no matter the make or model of your fixture.

  • Thorough Diagnosis: Our process starts with a full inspection of the faucet. We identify the exact cause of the problem, whether it's a worn seal, a faulty cartridge, or corrosion. We then explain the issue and provide a free quote for the repair.
  • Efficient Repair Work: Once you approve the work, our licensed plumber will shut off the water and disassemble the faucet. We use high-quality replacement parts to fix the issue, ensuring a durable and reliable solution.
  • 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.

Our team at Rick Hartman Plumbing always cleans up the work area before leaving. We make sure you are fully satisfied with our guaranteed workmanship, leaving you with a perfectly working, drip-free faucet.

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.

FAQs About Faucet Repair in Pittsburgh

Why is my faucet dripping?

The most common cause of a dripping faucet is a worn-out internal part, like a rubber washer, an O-ring, or a cartridge. Over time, the constant friction and water pressure cause these seals to fail, allowing small amounts of water to pass through.

Is it cheaper to repair or replace my faucet?

If your faucet is relatively new and the issue is a simple parts failure, a repair is usually more cost-effective. However, if the faucet is old, has significant corrosion, or requires expensive parts, replacing it might be a better long-term investment.

Can a small leak really increase my water bill?

Absolutely. Even a slow drip can waste dozens of gallons of water every week, adding a surprising amount to your monthly water bill. Fixing the leak promptly is the best way to stop this unnecessary expense.

Why is water pooling around the base of the faucet?

When water leaks from the base of the faucet, it is typically caused by failing O-rings or seals inside the faucet body. Our plumbers can easily disassemble the faucet and replace these worn-out parts to stop the leak.
