Most drips come from a worn washer, O-ring, seal or cartridge inside the faucet. Hard water speeds up the wear by leaving mineral deposits on these parts. Replacing the worn part usually stops the drip.
Repair makes sense when the faucet is in good shape and only a washer or cartridge has failed. Replace it if the body is cracked or corroded, parts are hard to find, or you want a new style. We can install a faucet you bought or help you choose one.
Usually the aerator at the tip of the spout is clogged with mineral deposits or debris. Unscrew it, rinse it and put it back. If the pressure is still low, the cartridge or supply line may be blocked.
Common causes are a loose or cracked drain trap, a worn faucet supply line, a leaking dishwasher hose or a garbage disposal seal. Put a bowl under the drip and call us. We find the exact source and fix it.
Something is jammed in the blades, or the motor is starting to fail. Turn off the power at the switch first. Never put your hand inside. Many disposals have a hex socket on the bottom for freeing a jam. If it still hums, call us.
Squealing often comes from a worn washer or a loose part inside the faucet. Banging when you shut the water off, called water hammer, can mean high water pressure or loose pipes. Both are easy for us to check and fix.
Avoid grease, bones, fruit pits, coffee grounds, eggshells, potato peels, pasta and rice. These jam the blades or build up in the drain. Run cold water while the disposal is on and for a few seconds after.
Yes. Outdoor faucets often leak or split after a freeze. We repair or replace them, and can install a frost-free outdoor faucet that shuts off inside the warm wall.
