Your faucets are connected to the building’s main water lines. If the plumbing system breaks or clogs, you might not be able to get the water you need. Worse yet, the water is no longer safe or healthy to use.
Leaky faucets are one of the most common problems you can experience with your home plumbing. Whether you’re dealing with a dripping faucet or a wasteful stream of water, leaks can increase your monthly water bill. Depending on how much water is leaking, it can even lead to water damage!
Leaky faucet repair is usually fast and inexpensive. A professional plumber will identify the part causing the leak before completing the necessary service to restore proper water flow.
Nearly any faucet can provide both hot and cold water. Choosing the temperature is generally dependent on the faucet’s design, with models featuring either one or two handles. Fixing the handle can often resolve the issue.
But if your problem is a lack of hot water, the issue might be more complex. Missing water entirely could mean the water heater is damaged; in which case a professional plumber should be contacted.
Rather than a leak, a broken faucet decreases water pressure and can keep water from flowing entirely. Not only is this frustrating, but the additional pressure can result in other problems deeper in your plumbing system.
The strategy your plumber uses to resolve the problem requires knowing what type of faucet you’re using. If you’re lucky, resolving the problem will be as simple as cleaning the affected component. Other issues can be traced to the seal that separates your faucet from the water supply.
Remember that this likely won’t happen often. So when the faucet isn’t to blame, your plumber should then start to look for things like corroded pipes and clogs (as these also cause the water pressure to fall). Even partially closed valves will drop the water pressure, resulting in weak flow.

Yes! We work with some seasoned installers that excel at the installation of plumbing fixtures like a bathtub or new showerhead.
Once we’ve verified there’s a problem with your faucet, there are a few additional pieces of information that can help simplify repairs. Don’t forget that severe or widespread damage may make new faucet installation a more cost-effective option. Otherwise, it won’t be long before you’re struggling with another plumbing problem.
Effective repairs start with knowing the type of faucet you use. We don’t mean whether it’s a kitchen faucet or a bathroom faucet, but what internal components are in place to deliver potable water. Our expert plumbers have adequate experience with different faucet types so they can recognize yours quickly, starting repairs sooner.
Compression Faucet: This design is the oldest type of faucet still in widespread use today. It comes with a rubber washer and two handles to provide adequate water of the correct temperature.
Cartridge Faucet: Available in both one- and two-handle designs. A single-lever design adjusts water flow by raising and lowering the valve inside the handle.
Ball Faucet: The most prevalent type of single-lever faucet. As the lever is moved, a plastic or metal ball moves within the faucet, allowing water to flow. Small chambers within the ball blend hot and cold water to produce the correct temperature.
Ceramic Disk Faucet: Another single-lever design sometimes confused for a ball faucet. These models use a valve more similar to a cartridge faucet, which is pulled up or pressed down to provide water flow. By comparison, a ball faucet moves in a spherical direction.
After they learn what kind of faucet you have, the plumber’s next step is locating the initial source of the problem. Most designs are split into two sections, the faucet body and one or two faucet handles. Knowing the type of problem they’re dealing with can make things easier.
Whatever the problem may be, disassembling the faucet is usually part of the process needed for repairs. A proper repair kit should possess tools like slip joint pliers or a basin wrench for reaching the internal components.
Sometimes a problem can be fixed by finding the malfunctioning component and giving it a thorough cleaning. But if the component is cracked or broken, replacing it is typically best. These small pieces aren’t expensive, so don’t worry about the cost of a new part for the spout, O-ring or any washers.
This may be more complicated for special faucets, such as an outdoor garden hose.
