Faucet and Fixture Installation and Repair in Joliet, IL
A faucet crusted with white scale, a drip that stains the sink or new fixtures for a remodel. We repair and install faucets and fixtures across Joliet, with a flat price before we start. From our office on Ottawa Street.
When Your Faucet Needs Repair or Replacement
In Joliet, a lot of faucet trouble starts with the water:
White Crust on the Spout and Aerator
Minerals from Joliet's well water build up on and inside faucets. It cuts flow and wears out cartridges.
Rusty or Dark Stains in the Sink
Iron and manganese in the water can stain under a dripping faucet.
A Drip That Won't Stop
A worn or scaled cartridge, washer or seal.
A Stiff, Gritty Handle
Mineral buildup inside the valve. A new cartridge often fixes it.
Kitchen Faucet Repair and Installation
We repair drips, leaks, weak sprayers and stiff handles, and we install new kitchen faucets, from pull-downs to touchless and filtered-water models. In Joliet, many kitchen faucet repairs start with a cartridge or aerator choked with mineral scale.
When we replace a faucet, we check the shutoff valves and supply lines under the sink. In older homes near downtown, those valves may not have been turned in decades. If they won't hold, we replace them while the sink is open.

Faucets and Fixtures in Joliet Homes
Two things decide how long a faucet lasts in Joliet: the water and the age of the plumbing behind it.
Mineral-Heavy Well Water
Joliet's water is naturally rich in minerals. Scale builds up on aerators, cartridges and valve seats, so faucets here need cleaning or new cartridges more often. A water softener slows it down.
Old Pipes in Old Homes
About 1 in 6 Joliet homes was built before 1940, often with galvanized supply lines that narrow over time. If a new faucet still has weak flow, the pipe may be the cause.

Faucet and Fixture Questions From Joliet Homeowners
Joliet's well water is mineral-heavy. The crust is scale left behind as water evaporates.
Joliet's well water carries a lot of dissolved minerals. When water dries on a faucet, the minerals stay behind as white crust, and the same thing happens inside the aerator and cartridge. Soaking the aerator in vinegar helps. A softener slows it down for the whole house.
A scaled cartridge on a good faucet is a repair. A corroded or discontinued faucet is a replacement.
If it's a worn or scaled cartridge on a good faucet, repair it. If the body is corroded or parts are no longer made, replace it. We'll tell you which we'd do.
