Faucet Repair and Installation

A dripping faucet wastes water and can stain fixtures; a leaking base can damage the counter or cabinet below. Faucet repair targets the worn internal part, and installation covers new faucets set, sealed, and connected properly.

Common reasons you may need this service

  • A faucet drips even when off.
  • Water leaks from the base or handles.
  • Pressure or spray pattern has changed.
  • You're updating an old faucet.
  • A handle is stiff or hard to turn.

Typical tasks and considerations

  • Sealing the base to the counter.
  • Installing a new faucet and supply lines.
  • Checking for leaks and proper flow.

Common problems and possible causes

Dripping spout

Usually a worn cartridge or washer inside the faucet. Replacing it stops the drip without replacing the fixture.

Leak at the base

A failed base gasket lets water under the faucet. Re-sealing protects the counter and cabinet.

Stiff handle

Mineral buildup in the cartridge makes the handle stiff. Cleaning or replacing it restores smooth operation.
