Symptoms and When to Call
Common signs that faucet repair & replacement may be needed include:
Common Symptoms
- Dripping faucet
- Stiff or leaking handles
- Low pressure at one fixture
- Spray or splashing issues
Active leaks, backups, or loss of water are urgent—call our 24-hour line. Symptoms that develop gradually can usually be scheduled but should not be ignored.
Common Causes and Diagnostic Uncertainty
The causes behind these symptoms can vary, and a single sign may have more than one explanation. Common causes include:
Likely Causes
- Worn cartridge or O-rings
- Mineral buildup in the aerator
- Corroded internal components
- Supply or pressure issues
Because symptoms can overlap, professional diagnosis matters. We assess the actual condition before recommending work rather than assuming the cause from the symptom alone.

Repair, Replacement, and Other Options
Depending on the situation, options may include:
Available Options
- Cartridge or O-ring repair
- Aerator cleaning or replacement
- Handle repair
- Faucet replacement
Low pressure at a single fixture is often a faucet or aerator issue, while whole-home pressure changes point to the supply. We diagnose both so the fix targets the right problem.
