Faucet Repair in Dallas–Fort Worth

A dripping faucet is usually a worn cartridge, washer, or seat. A faucet leaking from the base or underneath is different — that water reaches the cabinet, and it is often the shutoff or supply connection rather than the faucet body.

Repair usually makes sense on quality fixtures; on inexpensive ones, replacement often costs less than the parts and the labor.

Symptoms and problems

• • A steady drip after the handle is closed
• • Water pooling under the sink
• • A handle that is stiff, loose, or spins
• • Weak flow from one faucet only
• • Sputtering or air in the stream

Common causes

• • A worn cartridge, O-ring, or seat washer
• • Mineral buildup in the aerator
• • Corroded supply connections or a failing angle stop
• • A cracked faucet body or damaged spout seal

Typical solutions

• • Replacing the cartridge or internal seals
• • Cleaning or replacing the aerator
• • Replacing supply lines and shutoff valves
• • Recommending replacement when parts are unavailable or the body is damaged

When to get professional help

If the shutoff under the sink will not close, or if water is soaking the cabinet base, get it handled before the cabinet takes more damage.
