Faucet Repair & Replacement

Drip, Drip, Fix! Your Ultimate Guide to Faucet Repair & Replacement

A leaky faucet might not seem like a big deal at first. A little drip here, a little drip there—what’s the harm, right? Well, let us tell you: those tiny drips can add up faster than you think! Not only can they waste gallons of water (yes, gallons), but they can also take a toll on your water bill and your patience. So if your faucet is acting up, it’s time to give it some much-needed TLC. But don’t worry—faucet repair and replacement don’t have to be a headache. Whether you’re dealing with a drip, a trickle, or a full-blown geyser, Veterans Heating and Air Conditioning, Plumbing, and Electrical has your back.

Why Fixing a Faucet Isn’t Just About the Drip

Did you know that a single leaky faucet can waste over 3,000 gallons of water per year? That’s enough water to fill a small swimming pool—or keep your lawn hydrated during drier months. Beyond the environmental impact, faucet issues can also lead to:

Higher Water Bills: Those drips add up, and so will your monthly utility costs.
Water Damage: Persistent leaks can cause water to pool in places it shouldn’t, leading to mold, mildew, and warped cabinetry.
Annoying Sounds: Let’s be honest—no one enjoys falling asleep to the sound of “drip, drip, drip” at 2 a.m.

Repairing or replacing your faucet is more than just a quick fix; it’s an investment in your home and your peace of mind.

Signs It’s Time to Repair or Replace Your Faucet

Not sure if it’s time to call in the pros? Here are some telltale signs that your faucet might be crying out for help:

The Never-Ending Drip: If tightening the handle doesn’t stop the drip, you likely have a worn-out washer, O-ring, or valve seat.
Low Water Pressure: Are you barely getting a trickle when you turn the tap? Mineral buildup or internal corrosion could be to blame.
Rust or Discoloration: Visible rust around your faucet doesn’t just look bad—it’s a sign that the materials are breaking down.
Leaks Around the Base: Water pooling around the faucet base is a clear sign that seals or gaskets need attention.
Outdated Style or Functionality: Sometimes, you just need a faucet that matches your new kitchen or bathroom design.

If you’ve noticed any of these issues, don’t wait until a small problem turns into a plumbing emergency.

Common Types of Faucets Found in Area Homes

Before diving into repairs or replacements, it’s helpful to know what kind of faucet you’re dealing with. Here are the four most common types:

Compression Faucets: These are the classic faucets with separate hot and cold handles. They’re prone to wear and tear but are usually easy to fix.
Ball Faucets: Often found in kitchens, these have a single handle that rotates over a ball joint to control water flow and temperature.
Cartridge Faucets: These feature handles that move smoothly, thanks to an internal cartridge. They’re reliable but can malfunction over time.
Ceramic Disk Faucets: Known for their durability, these faucets use a pair of ceramic disks to regulate water flow. When they fail, ceramic disk faucets often require full replacement.

Identifying your faucet type can make troubleshooting easier—and it helps us know exactly what tools and parts we’ll need when we visit your home.

DIY or Call a Pro?

Let’s be real—our area is full of handy homeowners, but when it comes to faucet repair or replacement, it’s not always as simple as it looks. Here’s when you can DIY and when it’s better to call in the experts:

DIY-Friendly Issues: Replacing a washer, cleaning out mineral deposits, or tightening a loose handle.
Call a Pro If: You’re dealing with major leaks, broken parts, or need a full faucet replacement.

Faucets are more complex than they seem, and one wrong move can turn a small issue into a plumbing disaster. If you’re unsure, it’s always better to err on the side of caution.
