A dripping faucet is the most-ignored leak in the house and one of the most wasteful — a steady drip runs thousands of gallons a year and slowly stains the sink and wears the seat. Faucet repair fixes the cause rather than living with it: almost every drip, stiff handle, or leak at the base comes down to a worn cartridge, O-ring, or valve seat inside the faucet, and rebuilding those internals restores it to like-new for a fraction of a replacement. We carry cartridges for the major brands, so most {city} faucet repairs are done in a single visit.
Different symptoms point to different parts. A drip from the spout is a worn cartridge or a pitted seat; a leak at the base of the handle is a failed O-ring; a leak underneath is usually the supply connection or the valve body; and weak, sputtering flow is almost always a clogged aerator or cartridge screen full of mineral scale and debris. We diagnose which it is, rebuild the valve with the correct manufacturer parts — Kohler, Moen, Delta, and Pfister are all cartridge-specific — and clear the aerator so the flow and the seal both come back across {county}.
Repair is almost always the right call before replacement on a quality faucet. A Kohler or Moen fixture is built to be rebuilt, the cartridges are inexpensive, and many carry lifetime parts warranties that we can claim on your behalf. We'll tell you honestly when a faucet is too corroded or the body itself is cracked and a rebuild won't hold — but for the everyday drip and stiff handle, a cartridge and O-ring kit brings the {areas} faucet back to life without the cost and cabinet work of a full {city} replacement.
Signs you need faucet repair
Faucet drips when it's off
A spout that drips after you shut it off is a worn cartridge or a pitted valve seat. Rebuilding it stops thousands of wasted gallons a year in the the United States home and the staining a drip leaves.
Endless hot water, half the space — Navien, Rinnai & Rheem.
Water leaks around the handle base
A leak seeping from the base of the handle when the water runs is a failed O-ring inside the valve. It's a quick rebuild before the water reaches the counter and cabinet across the United States.
Handle is stiff or hard to turn
A handle that binds or grinds has a corroded or scale-fouled cartridge. Replacing it restores smooth operation and heads off the internal leak that follows in the your area faucet.
Weak or sputtering flow
Flow that's dropped or sputters is almost always a clogged aerator or cartridge screen full of mineral debris. Clearing it brings the pressure back at the the United States tap without touching the plumbing.
Leak in the cabinet below
Water under the sink can come from the faucet's supply connections or its base. We trace it and reseal the connection before it rots the the United States cabinet floor.
Common causes & what we fix
Worn cartridge
The cartridge is the moving heart of the faucet, and its seals wear until the valve drips and the handle stiffens. A new brand-specific cartridge is the fix for most the United States faucet repairs.
Failed O-rings and seals
The O-rings that seal the handle and spout base harden and crack with age, letting water seep out. Replacing the O-ring kit stops a base leak on the the United States faucet.
Pitted or corroded valve seat
The seat the cartridge presses against pits from mineral-laden water until it can't seal and the spout drips. Resurfacing or replacing the seat restores the shut-off in the your area valve.
Mineral buildup in the aerator
Hard-water scale and debris collect in the aerator screen and cartridge, choking the flow. Clearing or replacing them restores pressure at the the United States tap.
Loose or corroded connections
Supply-line and base connections loosen and corrode over time, weeping into the cabinet. Resealing them stops the under-sink leak in the the United States home.

Frequently asked about faucet repair
Top questions homeowners searching for Faucet Repair near me ask us:
Is it worth repairing a faucet or should I replace it?
For a quality Kohler, Moen, Delta, or Pfister faucet, repair almost always wins — the cartridges are inexpensive and the body outlasts several rebuilds. We only recommend replacement when the body is cracked or too corroded to seal in your the United States home.
How long does a faucet repair take?
Most repairs run 30–60 minutes — we diagnose the drip or leak, pull the cartridge, and rebuild the valve with new parts. Because we stock cartridges for the major brands, the the United States repair is usually done in a single visit.
Why does my faucet drip even when it's fully off?
A drip with the handle closed means the cartridge or the valve seat it presses against is worn and no longer sealing. Replacing the cartridge and, if needed, the seat stops the drip for good on the your area faucet.
Can you fix low water flow from the faucet?
Yes — weak flow is almost always a clogged aerator or a scaled cartridge screen, not a plumbing problem. We clear or replace them and the pressure comes right back at your the United States tap.
Do you repair all faucet brands?
Yes — Kohler, Moen, Delta, Pfister, Grohe, American Standard, and most others, and we carry the common cartridges on the truck. Many carry lifetime parts warranties we can claim for you, and we serve ZIPs across the United States.
