What We Handle
Faucet Repair Services
Faucet Cartridge Replacement
Most modern single handle faucet models rely on a cartridge to control water flow and temperature. When it wears out, you’ll notice dripping even with the handle fully off. We swap it for a matching part so the fix lasts.
Compression Faucet & Washer Repair
Older double handle faucet fixtures typically use a compression design with a rubber washer that hardens over time. A faucet washer replacement is usually all it takes to stop the drip at the spout.
Ceramic Disc Valve Repair
Ceramic disc valve faucets are more durable but not leak-proof. When mineral buildup or a cracked disc causes dripping, we clean or replace the valve without disturbing the rest of the faucet body.
O-Ring Replacement & Faucet Stem Repair
A leak at the base of the handle, rather than the spout, usually points to a worn O-ring or damaged faucet stem. We replace both together to prevent a repeat visit.
Faucet Valve Seat Resurfacing
A corroded or pitted faucet valve seat can cause dripping even after a cartridge or washer replacement. We resurface or replace the seat so the new parts actually seal properly.
Outdoor Spigot & Hose Bibb Repair
An outdoor spigot leak or dripping hose bibb often means a cracked washer or frost damage. We repair or replace the fixture and check the faucet supply line behind it for hidden leaks.

Questions We Hear Often
Frequently Asked Questions
A worn cartridge, washer, or O-ring is no longer sealing properly, letting water pass through even in the off position.
Simple washer swaps are DIY-friendly, but cartridge, valve seat, or stem issues often need proper parts matching to avoid repeat leaks.
Repair is almost always cheaper for a single worn part. Replacement makes more sense if the faucet is old, corroded, or leaking in multiple places.
Hard water leaves mineral deposits inside valves and aerators, which speeds up corrosion and cartridge failure over time.
A drip only from the spout usually points to a cartridge or washer; leaking around the handle base usually means an O-ring or stem issue.
Over time, yes. A constantly leaking hose bibb can saturate soil near your home and contribute to drainage issues.
Single handle faucets rely on one cartridge doing more work, so it tends to wear out faster than the dual-washer system in double handle models.
Yes, shutting off the valve under the sink or at the main line prevents wasted water and further damage until the repair is done.
