Faucet Repair in Houston

Faucets fail in predictable ways. Cartridges wear, aerators clog with mineral scale, and the connections under the sink give out before the faucet does. The repair is usually small. The water damage under a cabinet is not.

REQUEST SERVICE

Symptom to cause

Drips from the spout with the handle off: cartridge, seat or O rings

Drips from the base of the handle: stem seals

Weak flow at this fixture only: aerator or cartridge scaled up

Handle turns loosely with no effect: broken stem or stripped cartridge

Sprayer will not switch or leaks at the hose: diverter or the pull down hose

Damp cabinet floor: supply connector, angle stop, or the drain assembly above

Mineral scale and Houston water

Hard water leaves deposits in aerators and on cartridge surfaces, which is why a faucet can lose flow while the rest of the house is fine. Cleaning or replacing the aerator solves a fair number of low flow complaints. When the cartridge is scaled, replacement is the honest answer.

Repair or replace the faucet

Good faucets are worth repairing, and many brands still supply cartridges for older models. Replacement makes more sense when parts are not available, when the body itself is corroded, or when you are changing the sink anyway.

Questions people ask us

Why does only one faucet have low pressure?

Because the restriction is at that fixture. Start with the aerator, which unscrews from the spout and is usually full of mineral grit and debris. If cleaning it does not restore flow, the cartridge or the supply stop is next.

Can a dripping faucet damage anything?

The drip itself mostly costs water. The related leak under the sink is the damaging one, because cabinet bottoms and particle board absorb it quietly. Check the back corners of the cabinet, not just the visible front area.
