Repair

If you live in an old home or are purchasing an old home to renovate, chances are high that the faucets in the building are either no longer up to code or have simply broken down. In the case of the latter, you can have these faucets repaired to working condition. Just think about that for a moment; no more dripping water noise as you wander the house each day.

Expert Tips
- Rick Jurzyk
When it comes to faucets, regular maintenance is key to ensuring their longevity and optimal performance. Make it a habit to check for any leaks or drips and promptly address them to prevent water wastage and potential damage. Additionally, clean your faucets regularly using mild soap and a soft cloth to remove any buildup or mineral deposits. Remember, a well-maintained faucet not only enhances the aesthetics of your space but also saves you money in the long run.

Frequently Asked Questions

A dripping faucet usually means a worn cartridge, washer, or O-ring inside the handle isn't sealing anymore. Mineral buildup from hard water can also stop the internal parts from closing completely. Rick's can open it up, see exactly what's worn, and swap the right part.
Some drips are a simple cartridge swap that a handy homeowner can manage with the right part in hand. If you're not sure what's inside your faucet or the leak keeps coming back after a DIY fix, it's worth having a plumber take a look before it damages the cabinet below.
If the faucet is under ten years old and the body itself isn't cracked or corroded, a repair usually solves it. Once a faucet is older, discontinued, or has multiple things going wrong at once, replacement often makes more sense than chasing repairs one at a time.
That sound is almost always water squeezing through a partially closed valve or a worn washer that's vibrating. It's usually an easy fix once someone gets eyes on the actual part causing it.
A compression faucet uses a rubber washer that presses down to stop the flow, which is the older two-handle style. A cartridge faucet uses a sealed unit that slides in and out, which is more common today and generally easier to service since you just replace the whole cartridge.
Yes, that's a common request. We'll check that it's actually compatible with your existing supply lines and sink holes before installing it, so you're not stuck with a faucet that doesn't quite fit.
Most kitchen faucet installations take about an hour. It can take a bit longer if the old shutoff valves are corroded and need replacing too, which is pretty common in older homes.
That usually points to something local to that faucet, like a clogged aerator or a partially closed shutoff valve, rather than a house-wide pressure issue. It's one of the easier things to diagnose and fix.
If you're already replacing a faucet, a low-flow model is worth considering since it cuts water use without really changing how it feels to wash your hands or dishes. It's a small change that adds up over a year.
Yes. If your single-handle faucet is giving you the wrong temperature no matter where you set it, a worn or stuck cartridge is often the culprit. Replacing it usually fixes the temperature mixing completely.
We install and repair all the major brands, including Moen, Delta, Kohler, American Standard, and Grohe. If you already have a favorite brand, we're happy to work with it.
That's usually a set screw that's backed out or worn threads inside the handle. It's a quick fix in most cases and worth doing before the handle falls off completely.
Yes, mineral deposits build up inside the valve and on the aerator, which can cause reduced flow, dripping, and a shortened lifespan for the faucet. Regular cleaning of the aerator helps, but eventually the internal parts wear out.
Most residential touchless faucets run on batteries, though some can be wired into a nearby outlet. Battery life is usually a year or more depending on how often the faucet is used.
A frost-free sillcock is the real fix, since it drains the water back inside the house instead of leaving it sitting in the pipe where it can freeze. If you have an older standard outdoor faucet, it's worth upgrading before winter hits.
That's usually a worn valve seat or cartridge that can't fully seal anymore. It might feel like it's off but still drip steadily, which wastes more water than people realize.
We'll do our best to find a close match, though if the original finish has been discontinued it might not be exact. We can also talk through updating all the fixtures in the room if a perfect match isn't available.
A little bit of air working its way through the lines after installation is normal and usually clears up within the first day of use. If the noise continues after that, it's worth a follow-up call.
That's typically a clogged or misaligned aerator. Unscrewing it and giving it a rinse often solves it, but if it keeps happening, the aerator itself may need replacing.
Yes, we install pot fillers, bar faucets, and other specialty fixtures. These often need a dedicated water line run to the location, so it helps to loop us in early if you're planning one for a remodel.
Bathroom faucets often have smaller supply lines and aerators built for a gentler flow, so some difference is normal. If the pressure feels unusually weak, it's worth checking the shutoff valve isn't partially closed.
There's no fixed schedule, but if you're noticing drips, temperature issues, or a stiff handle, that's usually the cartridge telling you it's time. Some last well over a decade, others wear out sooner depending on water quality.
Yes, even a slow drip adds up to real gallons over a month. It's one of those small leaks that's easy to ignore but not free to leave alone.
Yes, we service commercial faucets in restaurants, offices, and other business locations, including higher-use fixtures that see a lot more daily wear than a typical home faucet.
That can happen when thermal expansion in a closed system pushes extra pressure through the lines, which sometimes shows up as a faucet weeping slightly. It's worth having someone check whether your water heater has a working expansion tank.
In most cases yes, though it depends on how many holes are already in your sink or countertop. Sometimes a base plate is used to cover extra holes, or the sink itself needs a different configuration.
A leak at the base usually means a worn O-ring where the faucet body meets the sink or countertop. It's a different repair than a dripping spout but usually just as straightforward.
A simple faucet swap generally doesn't require a permit. If new supply lines or plumbing work beyond the faucet itself is involved, that's worth asking about ahead of time.
Yes, we're happy to talk through options based on your sink, your water pressure, and what you actually want day to day, not just what looks good in a showroom.
Call us at [phone] and we'll get you on the schedule. If it's a steady drip rather than an emergency, we can usually find a time that works within a day or two.
