Your Local Plumber: Getting a New Faucet That Doesn't Leak

Faucet repair means fixing problems with your existing faucets instead of replacing them. Most faucet problems come from worn internal parts like washers, O-rings, or cartridges. These small rubber and plastic pieces wear out over time. Common repairs include replacing washers that cause drips, cleaning clogged aerators, tightening loose handles, and replacing cartridges that control temperature.

Different faucet types need different repairs. Compression faucets with separate hot and cold handles use washers that wear out. Cartridge faucets have a removable cartridge that can be replaced when worn. Ball faucets have a rotating ball that can develop leaks. We identify your faucet type and use the correct parts. Homes in The Heights and Quapaw Quarter often have older compression faucets that need regular washer replacement.

The aerator is the small screen at your faucet tip. It mixes air with water for smooth flow. Mineral deposits clog these screens over time, reducing pressure to a weak dribble. Cleaning or replacing the aerator restores normal flow quickly.

Most faucet repairs take 30 minutes to an hour. Simple fixes like tightening handles or cleaning aerators are very quick. Replacing internal parts takes longer because we disassemble the faucet, replace worn parts, and put everything back together. Properties in West Little Rock and Pleasant Valley sometimes need multiple repairs if faucets haven't been maintained.

Signs You Need Faucet Repair

Your faucet drips constantly even when it's turned off completely. You hear that annoying drip, drip, drip. You tighten the handle as hard as you can but it still drips. The drip wastes water and drives up your bill. This means a washer, O-ring, or valve seat inside the faucet is worn out and needs replacement.

Water leaks around the base of the faucet. You see water pooling on the countertop around where the faucet meets the sink. The leak happens when you turn the water on. This means the O-ring or seal at the base has failed and needs replacement.

Your faucet handle is loose or wobbly. The handle moves around when you turn it. You have to hold it in place to use the faucet. Or the handle is stuck and hard to turn. Loose handles usually just need the set screw tightened. Stuck handles might have mineral buildup or worn parts.

Water pressure is weak from one specific faucet. Other faucets in the house have good pressure but one has a weak dribble. The aerator is probably clogged with mineral deposits. This is especially common in areas with hard water. Homes throughout Riverdale and Capitol View often have aerator problems from mineral buildup.

The faucet makes squeaking or screeching noises when you turn it on or off. This sound comes from a worn washer rubbing against metal parts as water flows past. The rubber has gotten hard and needs replacement.

You can't get the water temperature right. The water runs too hot or too cold no matter how you adjust the handle. Or the temperature keeps changing while you're using the faucet. This means the cartridge that mixes hot and cold water is worn out and needs replacement.

Your spray attachment doesn't work right. The side sprayer on your kitchen sink has weak pressure, won't switch from spray to stream, or leaks at the connection. The diverter valve inside the faucet is probably clogged with mineral deposits or the spray hose has problems.

Water sprays out from under the handle when you turn on the faucet. This means the packing nut needs tightening or the O-ring around the valve stem is worn out and leaking.

What Faucet Repair Accomplishes

Repairing your faucet stops water waste immediately. A dripping faucet wastes 3 to 5 gallons per day - that's over 1,000 gallons per year from one drip. Fixing the drip stops throwing away water and money. Your water bill drops back to normal.

You eliminate frustrating faucet problems. No more constant dripping sound keeping you awake. No more weak water pressure making it take forever to fill pots or rinse dishes. No more struggling with stuck or loose handles. Your faucet works smoothly and quietly like it should.

Repairs extend the life of your faucets. Most faucets last 15 to 20 years if you maintain them. Replacing worn parts as needed keeps your faucets working well for their full lifespan. You don't have to replace the entire faucet just because a few internal parts wore out. This saves money compared to premature replacement.

You prevent water damage. A leak around the faucet base can damage your countertop, sink cabinet, and everything stored under the sink. Small leaks get bigger over time if not fixed. Repairing leaks early prevents this damage.

Your faucet performs like new again. Strong water pressure returns after aerator cleaning. Temperature control works correctly after cartridge replacement. Handles turn smoothly after lubrication and adjustment. Everything functions properly.

Repairs are much cheaper than replacement. A simple washer or O-ring costs a few dollars. Even cartridge replacement is affordable. Compare that to the cost of buying and installing a whole new faucet. Repair makes economic sense when the faucet is otherwise in good condition.

What to Expect When You Call for Faucet Repair

When you call about a dripping or leaking faucet, we ask which room and what brand if you know. Different faucets use different internal parts. We bring common repair parts for most brands.

We shut off water to that sink. We disassemble the faucet to access the internal parts. We inspect what's worn out, usually cartridges, washers, O-rings, or seals.

We replace the worn parts. For cartridge faucets, we pull out the old cartridge and install a new one. For compression faucets, we replace washers and seats. We use the right parts for your faucet type.

We reassemble everything and turn water back on. We test the faucet. Handles should turn smoothly and water should shut off completely. No drips. We check underneath for leaks. Your faucet works like new.

Why Local Matters
For Your Plumbing

You could call a big national chain. They'll probably charge you more and send someone who doesn't know Little Rock. Local plumbers understand that homes in Pulaski Heights have different plumbing than new builds in West Little Rock. They know which neighborhoods have hard water problems and which areas tend to have foundation shifts that affect plumbing.

When you call a local company, you get someone who answers the phone and can usually tell you right away what's probably happening and when they can get there. No automated system. No waiting on hold for 20 minutes.

Response times are better too. A local plumber is 15 minutes away, not coming from another city. If you've got a burst pipe or sewage backing up, those minutes matter. Plus, local companies know the city inspectors, understand Little Rock's specific codes, and can get permits processed faster. When you need plumbing work done right and done quickly, local is the way to go.
