Faucet Replacement and Installation

Not all faucet leaks are obvious. When you aren’t sure if you have one, use your water meter to determine if your household has a leak. Take a reading from your water meter, don’t use any water for several hours, and then take another reading. If the meter moved, it means you have a water leak somewhere!

Don’t think a small drip is a big deal? Use our water drip calculator to see how much water (and money) is going down the drain. Some unseen leaks can ruin under-sink cabinets and the flooring below, adding to the total cost of a dripping faucet.

Maintaining your faucets is essential to prolong their lifespan. Here are some tips:

• Regularly check for leaks or dripping faucets, as even small drips can lead to significant water wastage
• Clean and descale your faucets to prevent mineral deposits
• Invest in water-saving aerators to reduce water consumption
• Keep your faucet handles and knobs in good condition to avoid leaks

If you encounter faucet problems, follow these steps to resolve them effectively:

1. Identify the issue: Determine whether it’s a leak, low water pressure, or mineral buildup.
2. Shut off the water supply: Before working on your faucet, turn off the water supply to prevent accidents.
3. Inspect and clean: Examine the faucet for damage or mineral deposits and clean or replace affected parts.
4. Seek professional help: If the problem persists, contact a reputable plumbing service like Mr. Rooter Plumbing^® for expert assistance.

When it comes to faucet installation, the cost can vary depending on the complexity and features of the faucet you choose. To get an idea of installation costs, request an estimate online.

We can repair the following types of faucets:

• Kitchen faucets: A kitchen faucet leaking at the base is a common problem caused by an O-ring that’s dried out and cracked. A leaky kitchen faucet can make a wet mess of the whole sink area. As hard water dries on the faucet, sink, and counter, it can also leave ugly mineral deposits that can be difficult to remove. Some countertop types, like untreated granite or wood, can even be damaged by water over enough time.
• Outdoor faucets: Hose bib spigots can last many years without problems. However, over time, the washer and packing inside the faucet can wear down and no longer be able to form an effective seal. At this point, you may notice a constant drip, no matter how hard you turn the knob. If left unresolved, an outdoor faucet leak can cause damage to landscaping or the home’s foundation. Get the outdoor faucet replaced now and avoid expensive repairs to your foundation and landscaping.
• Touch on/off faucets: Touch faucets are a fantastic kitchen upgrade that can simplify cleaning and cooking tasks. When your hands are full or sticky, you can activate the faucet by tapping it with the back of your hand. When your touch faucet leaks, call a plumber. These sensitive instruments need the touch of a professional.
• Bathroom faucets: When a bathtub faucet is leaking, it often reduces water pressure from your shower head. Bathroom sinks can also develop issues like squeaking handles, inconsistent water flow, and drips. Most of the time, these problems can be repaired. If you like your faucet but just not the dripping part, contact a Mr. Rooter Plumbing^® location near you to whip it back into shape. We can perform bathroom sink, shower, and bathtub faucet repairs.
• Utility sink faucets: You need a utility sink to be ready to handle any dirty challenge you bring to it: rinsing paintbrushes, soaking dirty clothes, or scrubbing serious grime from your hands. So, when your utility sink faucet begins to sputter or leak, get it repaired by a plumber you trust.
