Signs It Might Be Time for Faucet Repair or Replacement

A faucet doesn’t have to be pouring water onto the floor to need service. Problems often start small. Catching them early helps avoid damage and saves money in the long run.

Here are signs to look out for:

  • Dripping after shutoff: If your tap continues to drip after you’ve turned it off, the internal parts might be worn or damaged.
  • Handle feels loose or stiff: If the handle won’t turn smoothly or wobbles when you use it, that usually points to an issue with the cartridge or valve.
  • Water pressure changes: A sudden drop in pressure can mean a clogged aerator or buildup inside the faucet body.
  • Rust, stains, or mineral buildup: Discoloration around the faucet base or spout is often caused by slow leaks or old fittings.
  • Unusual noises: Whistling, clanking, or other odd sounds when the water runs can mean air or debris in the line, or problems deeper in your plumbing.

If any of these show up, it’s worth getting a technician out to inspect. A quick fix now can help avoid damage to your countertops, cabinets, and flooring.

Professional Faucet Repair

Faucets fail in a few predictable ways. Internal cartridges wear out, washers degrade, seals crack, and valves corrode. These parts are small, but once they go, you start getting problems like uneven flow, hard-to-turn handles, or constant dripping. Each of those symptoms points to a specific mechanical failure. A faucet that drips after being shut off, for example, almost always needs a new cartridge or washer. A faucet that groans or spits may be facing sediment buildup that’s affecting pressure balance.

Our technicians carry the parts needed to handle most faucet repair jobs on the spot. That includes standard and ceramic cartridges, supply line connectors, and shutoff valve replacements. We inspect every connection, test water pressure before and after the plumbing repair, and confirm there’s no leak under the sink or inside the cabinet.

If mineral deposits or corrosion are affecting the fixture, we clean and restore what’s still serviceable and replace what isn’t. The goal isn’t just to stop the problem temporarily, but to restore normal function with lasting results.

Faucet Replacement for Kitchens, Bathrooms, and More

When faucet components start to fail regularly, or if the fixture is too old to justify another repair, replacement becomes the smarter option. We’ve replaced faucets in everything from updated kitchens with granite countertops to utility sinks in basement laundry rooms. A proper faucet replacement involves more than just removing one fixture and installing another. It includes evaluating the supply lines, checking valve performance, and making sure the mounting surface is stable and free of moisture damage.

Every faucet replacement we do starts with a close look at the fixture being removed. If we spot signs of prior water damage, we’ll flag it. We check for warping in cabinets, soft wood below the base, or signs of mold around the seal. Once the area is prepped, we mount the new fixture, connect the lines, and pressure-test the faucet under full flow.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I tell if my faucet leak is coming from the fixture or the supply line?

Leaks at the spout are usually related to internal cartridges or washers. Leaks under the sink tend to come from supply line connections or the shutoff valve. We isolate the leak by turning off the supply, testing water pressure, and inspecting the lines and mounting area for signs of corrosion or moisture.

What causes corrosion around the base of a faucet?

Constant exposure to water, especially in areas with hard water, causes minerals to build up. Over time, this leads to surface corrosion or deterioration of internal components. When you call us for a faucet repair in Fresno or Sacramento, we’ll check for signs of rust, mineral scale, and damage around the valve body and base.

Is faucet replacement necessary if it only leaks occasionally?

Not always. If the leak is due to a worn cartridge or seal, faucet leak repair is a more cost-effective solution. If we see signs of mechanical wear or structural cracks, we’ll recommend faucet replacement instead.

Can a faulty faucet impact water pressure elsewhere in the home?

Yes. Faucets with blockages or failing cartridges can affect pressure balance in nearby fixtures, especially in older plumbing systems. We evaluate the entire water line to make sure your faucet isn’t affecting the performance of the shower, toilet, or other fixtures.

What factors influence the cost of faucet repair or replacement?

Costs vary depending on part availability, fixture type, and access limitations. We provide clear estimates upfront. During your faucet leak repair in Fresno or Sacramento, we also check surrounding valves and supply lines to avoid incomplete fixes.
