Faucet Repair — Stop the Drip

A leaking faucet might seem minor, but a faucet dripping once per second wastes over 3,000 gallons per year. Beyond the water waste, persistent drips can stain sinks, damage finishes, and indicate worn internal components that will only get worse.

Got Plumbing USA connects you with licensed plumbers who repair all faucet types — compression, ball, cartridge, and ceramic disc — or install new fixtures when replacement makes more sense.

Common Faucet Issues

• Constant dripping when turned off
• Low water pressure from the faucet
• Handle difficult to turn or stuck
• Water leaking from the base
• Sprayer not working properly
• Rusty or discolored water from the faucet only

Repair Process

1. Identify the faucet type and failure point.
2. Replace worn components — cartridges, O-rings, seals, washers, or valve seats.
3. Test for proper operation and leak-free performance.
4. If the faucet is beyond repair, your plumber can install a new one.

Faucet Repair Cost

Faucet repair typically costs $100–$250 depending on the faucet type and issue. New faucet installation (labor only, you supply the fixture) runs $150–$300. If the plumber supplies the faucet, total cost is $200–$600+ depending on the fixture quality.
