When Your Faucet Needs Repair or Replacement
Most faucet problems start small. Here's when to call:
It Drips When It's Off
A worn cartridge, washer or seal is the usual cause. A steady drip wastes more water than most people think.
Low Pressure at One Faucet
If one faucet is weak and the rest are fine, the aerator or cartridge may be clogged. If every faucet is weak, it may be the pipes.
Leaks Under the Sink
Water in the cabinet usually comes from a supply line, a shutoff valve or the faucet base. Catch it before it damages the cabinet.
Hard to Turn or Loose Handles
Stiff, wobbly or grinding handles mean worn internal parts. Sometimes a repair, sometimes it's time for a new faucet.
Kitchen Faucet Repair and Installation
The kitchen faucet gets more use than any other fixture in the house. We repair drips, leaks, weak spray and loose handles, and we install new kitchen faucets, including pull-down and pull-out models, faucets with side sprayers and filtered water taps.
A new faucet is also a good time to replace the shutoff valves and supply lines under the sink. In older homes, those valves may not have been turned in years, and they're often the part that fails. We'll check them and tell you if they need replacing.
Kitchen Plumbing
Kitchen Plumbing Services
Beyond the faucet, we handle the rest of the plumbing in your kitchen: sink drains and traps, dishwasher hookups, ice maker lines, garbage disposals and gas lines for ranges. For a remodel, we can move or add fixtures so the plumbing matches your new layout.
If your kitchen sink is clogged, see drain cleaning. For disposal problems, see garbage disposal repair. For a new gas range, see gas line installation.
Plumbing Fixture Installation
We install sinks, faucets, toilets, showerheads, tub spouts, laundry sinks and outdoor spigots, whether you're replacing one fixture or doing a full remodel. Every install includes the connections, shutoff valves and a leak check before we leave.
Buying your own fixtures? That's fine. Tell us the make and model when you call and we'll let you know if anything about your plumbing needs to change to fit it. For toilets, see toilet installation. For showers, see shower repair.
Faucets and Fixtures in Older Highland Park Homes
Nearly half of Highland Park homes were built before 1960. Older plumbing behind a new faucet can be the difference between a quick swap and a surprise.
Old Shutoff Valves
Shutoff valves that haven't been turned in decades can seize or start leaking the moment they're used. We check them first and replace them if they won't hold.
Galvanized Supply Lines
Older galvanized water lines can narrow with corrosion, which shows up as low pressure at new faucets. We'll tell you if the fixture or the pipe is the problem.
