Sometimes, it can be difficult to determine whether you need faucet repair or replacement services. Our expert plumbers can inspect your faucet’s functionality to determine whether replacing or repairing it is best for you in the long run.

Our Faucet Repair Services

Our technicians have experience in repairing multiple selections and brands of faucets. Some of the most common scenarios where repairing a faucet is the better option can include:

• Minor Leaks: If your faucet is leaking from a worn-out washer or O-ring, replacing these small components is a simple and inexpensive repair that you can often do yourself.
• Loose Components: If your faucet handles are loose, tightening screws or replacing small components like set screws or nuts may solve the problem without the need for a full replacement.
• Clogged Aerators: If your faucet’s water flow is weak or irregular, it may be due to mineral buildup in the aerator. Cleaning or replacing the faucet’s aerator can often restore proper water flow.
• Dripping Faucet: A faucet that drips when it’s turned off can often be fixed by replacing a worn-out cartridge, valve stem, or seat washer. This repair is typically straightforward and can prevent water waste and annoying drips.
• Cosmetic Issues: If the finish on your faucet has minor scratches or blemishes, repairing the finish with touch-up paint or polish can restore its appearance without needing to replace the entire faucet.

Our Faucet Replacement Services

Below are some situations where replacement services might be more appropriate:

• Severe Corrosion or Damage: If your faucet is heavily corroded, cracked, or otherwise damaged beyond repair, replacing it with a new one is the best option to ensure proper functionality and water safety.
• Outdated or Inefficient Model: If your faucet is an older model without water-saving features or is inefficient in terms of water usage, replacing it with a newer, more efficient model can help you save on water bills in the long run.
• Frequent Repairs: If your faucet requires frequent repairs or if multiple components are failing simultaneously, it may be more cost-effective to invest in a new faucet rather than continuously repairing an old one.
• Remodeling or Upgrading: If you’re remodeling your kitchen or bathroom and want to update the look and functionality of your space, replacing your faucet can be part of the overall upgrade to achieve a cohesive design.
