General Faucet Repair FAQs
A dripping faucet is usually caused by worn parts. Usually it's the washers, damaged O-rings, or a failing cartridge that no longer seals properly.
Leaks at the base or handle are commonly caused by worn seals, loose connections, or internal corrosion that requires professional faucet repair.
Low faucet pressure is often caused by debris trapped in the aerator, sediment buildup from hard water, a faulty cartridge, or partially closed shut-off valves. However, this issue should be looked at by an experienced plumber since there could be trouble further up the line before the water reaches the faucet. If you are experiencing low water pressure at multiple faucets or the toilet that's possibly the case.
Difficulty turning a faucet is commonly caused by mineral buildup, corrosion, or worn internal parts that need cleaning or replacement.
When the temperature of the water remains cold it's actually a sign there's a problem with the water heater, not the faucet. However, if the hot water line wasn't set up properly during installation that could also be the problem.
