Why Prompt Faucet Repair Matters
Even a small drip can waste thousands of gallons of water each year and cause unsightly calcium buildup or mineral staining. Left unchecked, under-sink leaks can cause extensive cabinetry and drywall damage.
Common Faucet and Fixture Problems
- Persistent dripping from the spout when turned off
- Leaks around the faucet base or handle when in use
- Under-sink moisture or dripping from supply lines and shutoff valves
- Low water pressure restricted to one specific faucet
- Squeaking, sticking, or loose faucet handles
- Corrosion, mineral buildup, or spraying aerators
