Hard Water

How Evanston's Water Affects Faucets

Minerals in hard water build up where water sits and dries, like aerators, cartridges and spray heads. The first sign is often a spray that goes sideways or a weaker stream. Soaking the aerator in vinegar can help. When a single-handle faucet starts to drip or get stiff, the cartridge is usually worn by scale. Replacing it is a quick repair if parts are available for your model.

Pricing

What Affects the Price of Faucet Work

Replacing a cartridge is quick. Replacing a faucet takes longer when the old one is stuck in place, when the sink is undermounted or when old shutoffs need to come out too. Vintage fixtures may need special parts. We look first and give you one flat price.

"Anthony was right on time, very respectful of my place and cleaning up after working under the kitchen sink. Completely spotless afterwards. Showed me the instruction manual and pointed out when to replace filters to my reverse osmosis water system. And the salesman the week before was a fair negotiator. Overall great experience. Todd F"

"Rolando and crew were professional in every aspect of replacing our bathroom sink. Bathroom looks so much better with the smaller pedestal sink."

"Ray was awesome! My kitchen sink was backed up and he took care of things courteously, neatly and thoroughly. Ray explained the mechanics of why my issue may have happened and how to prevent it from happening again. I recommend Ray and JVS to anyone looking for a plumber!"
