Faucet repair and replacement in Sacramento, CA

What faucet repair covers

Faucets wear in predictable places. Compression faucets drip when the washer hardens. Cartridge faucets drip or get stiff when the cartridge wears or scales up. Single-handle kitchen faucets leak at the base when the O-rings dry out. Each has a repair, and we carry parts for the common brands.

Replacement makes sense when the faucet is old enough that parts are hard to find, the finish is pitted, or you simply want a different style. We install faucets you buy or ones we supply, and replace the supply lines and stops at the same time if they are old.

Signs it is time to call

• Steady drip from the spoutUsually a worn washer, seat or cartridge.
• Water around the baseWorn O-rings or a loose mounting nut on a single-handle faucet.
• Low flow at one faucetScale in the aerator or cartridge, common where water is hard.
• Hard to turn or shut offA scaled or failing cartridge, or worn stems.
• Wobbly handle or spoutLoose set screws or worn internal parts.

Faucet Repair in Sacramento: what we see locally

Homes on harder water, more common in parts of the region served by groundwater, go through cartridges and aerators faster. If your faucets scale up every year or two, a softener or conditioner can pay for itself in fixtures alone.

In older Sacramento homes, the shutoff valves under sinks are often original multi-turn stops that will not close fully. We test them on every faucet job, because a faucet repair is the right moment to replace a stop that would fail in an emergency.

What you can safely do before we arrive

1. Close the angle stops under the sink.
2. Clear out the cabinet so we can reach the connections.
3. Note the faucet brand if you know it.
