☎ Call (972) 903-8224Repair Or Replace
Most faucet drips are a worn internal cartridge, and on a name-brand faucet that is usually a straightforward part swap rather than a full replacement. A faucet from a builder-grade, no-name brand, or one that is already 15-plus years old often does not have replacement cartridges readily available, and full replacement ends up being the more practical fix.
An under-sink leak at a supply line or shutoff valve is almost always a fitting or valve replacement rather than anything to do with the faucet itself, and it is usually a quick, inexpensive fix once the actual connection is identified.
Typical Cost
Hard Water And Faucet Wear
North Texas water is moderately hard, and mineral scale builds up inside a faucet's internal cartridge and around the aerator screen faster here than it would on genuinely soft water. That buildup is a common reason a faucet starts feeling stiff, drips even after a repair, or loses pressure at just that one fixture while the rest of the house is fine.
A quick aerator cleaning is worth trying before assuming a bigger problem: unscrew the aerator at the tip of the faucet, soak it in vinegar for a few minutes, and rinse. If pressure improves, that was the whole issue. If it does not, the cartridge or the supply line itself is the more likely cause.
Kitchen Versus Bathroom Faucets
A kitchen faucet works harder than a bathroom faucet, more daily cycles, more temperature swings, and often a pull-down sprayer hose with its own wear points. That is why a kitchen faucet's internal parts tend to wear out first even on a newer home, while a bathroom faucet in the same house can go years longer before needing attention.
Codes This Work Follows
Supply line and fixture work follows the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) and International Plumbing Code (IPC) the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners adopts statewide, including correct backflow prevention at fixture connections.
Common Questions
A drip that continues after a washer swap usually means the actual worn part is the cartridge or the valve seat, not the washer, or the replacement part was slightly the wrong size for that specific faucet model. A technician can confirm the exact part needed rather than guessing through a second DIY attempt.
In most cases yes, for common finishes like chrome, brushed nickel, and matte black. For a discontinued or unusual finish, we will let you know upfront if an exact match is not realistic so you can decide before we start.
If the faucet is a recognizable name brand and the body itself is in good shape, a cartridge swap is almost always cheaper and faster than a full replacement. Once a faucet is old enough that the manufacturer no longer stocks parts for it, or the finish has worn through in spots, replacement usually makes more sense than chasing down an obsolete part.
The repair concept is the same, isolate the water, replace the worn internal part, but the parts themselves differ. A single-handle faucet usually has one cartridge controlling both hot and cold, while a two-handle faucet has a separate stem or cartridge for each side, which can mean one side wears out well before the other.
We carry the common current cartridges and stems for major brands, and can usually source an older or less common part ahead of the visit once you tell us the brand and rough age of the faucet on the phone.
