Faucet Repair

A steady drip fixed before it turns into a higher water bill or a stained sink.

A faucet that drips, feels loose at the base, or has started spraying at odd angles is usually a worn cartridge, O-ring, or connection rather than a sign the whole fixture needs replacing. Repair visits start by identifying which part has failed before deciding whether a repair or a full swap makes more sense.

Kitchen and bathroom faucets see daily use and, near the shore, extra mineral and salt exposure that can speed up wear on internal parts. Matching a replacement cartridge to an older faucet brand sometimes takes extra time, which is factored into scheduling when the make and model are known ahead of time.

If a customer already has a new faucet picked out, installation is straightforward in most cases, though older supply lines or shutoff valves may need attention at the same time to get a clean, leak-free result.

Problems we get called about

  • Persistent dripping

    A faucet that continues to drip after being shut off, usually from a worn cartridge, washer, or O-ring.

  • Loose or wobbly faucet base

    A faucet that has loosened from the sink or counter over time and needs re-securing.

  • Low or inconsistent water pressure

    Reduced flow from mineral buildup in the aerator or an internal restriction in the faucet.

  • Handle that's hard to turn or sticks

    Stiff or sticking handles, often from internal corrosion or worn components.

  • Full faucet replacement

    Homeowners updating an old or damaged faucet with a new fixture of their choosing.
