Hard water is rough on faucets. Mineral scale wears seals and cartridges faster and makes old valves seize up. If one fixture in the house is failing, others of the same age often follow.
Tub or Shower Won't Shut Off? Do This First
A tub running nonstop wastes a lot of water fast.
- Try the shutoffs. Some showers have small valves behind an access panel on the other side of the wall. Many don't.
- If there is no shutoff, close the main water valve to the house. It is often near the front hose bib or in the garage.
- Don't keep forcing the handle. A stripped handle turned harder can break the stem inside the wall.
- Call us. Once the water is off, it is a repair, not an emergency.

A kitchen faucet takes more use than any other in the house. The two most common problems are a drip from the spout and a leak underneath the sink.
Repair makes sense when: the faucet is less than 10 years old, it is a good brand, and parts are available. A new cartridge and seals often make it work like new.
Replacement makes sense when: the body is cracked, it leaks from several places, parts are hard to find, or it is simply worn out. The cost of a repair on an old faucet often comes close to a new one.
Types we install:
Single and Two Handle
Standard single hole and three hole center set configurations. We match the deck holes you already have or help you pick a new faucet that fits.
Pull Down and Pull Out Sprayers
The most popular kitchen style. We replace the whole unit when the hose wears out or the diverter fails.
Touchless and Motion Sensor
We install and troubleshoot sensor faucets. Most issues are battery, solenoid, or sensor alignment.
Bar, Prep Sink, and Pot Fillers
Secondary sinks and pot fillers where a water line is already close. We run the line if one is not there yet.
Filtered Water and Hot Water Dispensers
Under sink filters, dedicated filtered water faucets, and instant hot water dispensers. Installation or repair.
Already bought your faucet? That is fine. We install the one you picked, replace the supply lines and shutoff valves if they are worn, and test everything for leaks before we leave.
Tub and Shower Valve Repair
Tub and shower valves live inside the wall, so most people don't think about them until a handle strips or the shower won't stop dripping.
Stripped or Broken Handle
- The splines on the cartridge or stem wear down until the handle just spins
- A new cartridge and handle usually fix it
Constant Drip from Showerhead or Tub Spout
- Almost always a worn cartridge or valve seats
- Replacing the cartridge fixes most of them
Temperature Swings or Won't Mix Right
- The pressure balancing part of the cartridge is worn or clogged with scale
- New cartridge restores proper hot/cold balance
Older Two and Three Handle Valves
- We rebuild with new stems and seats when parts are available
- If parts are no longer made, we replace the valve
Full Valve Replacement
- Needed when the valve body is corroded or parts are discontinued
- We open the wall or work from an access panel and keep the opening as small as possible
- You get the full scope and price before we start
Bathroom Sink Faucets
Bathroom faucets fail the same way kitchen faucets do: drips, loose handles, and leaks under the vanity. We repair or replace single hole, center set, and widespread faucets, and swap out old pop-up drains while we are there if they leak or won't hold water.
Shutoff Valves, Washer Valves, Spigots, and Fridge Lines
These small valves cause a lot of leaks, and most are fixed in under an hour.
Shutoff Valves Under Sinks and Toilets
- Old shutoffs seize up or drip once they are turned
- We replace them with quarter-turn valves that close fully when you need them
Washing Machine Valves
- Old valves in the wall box drip or won't shut off
- We replace the valves, or the whole box if it is cracked
- We can also swap old rubber washer hoses for braided steel
Outdoor Spigots and Hose Bibs
- Dripping spigots, ones that leak from the handle, or barely turn
- We rebuild or replace them
Refrigerator Water Lines
- A leak behind the fridge, a pinched line, or a new line for an ice maker
- We run or replace the line and add a proper shutoff
Main Shutoff Valve
- If the main valve won't close or leaks when you use it, it needs replacing
- It is the one valve that must work in an emergency

Faucet Repair FAQs
Yes. We install faucets, showerheads, and trim kits you purchased. If a part is missing or the faucet doesn't fit your sink or valve, we will tell you before we start.
Most modern faucets use cartridges, not washers. If the cartridge or the seat is worn or scaled up, a new washer won't stop the drip. Replacing the cartridge usually does.
Yes, including most common and high-end brands. Tell us the brand when you call. If you know the model, even better.
Most kitchen and bathroom faucet swaps take one to two hours. A shower valve replacement takes longer, usually half a day.
Only if the water is stuck on. If the water is off, it can wait for a scheduled visit. If it's on and won't stop, close the main valve and call us.
Yes. Utility and laundry sink faucets, garage sinks, and the fill faucets on jetted tubs and Roman tubs.
