Your faucets are connected to the building’s main water lines. If a faucet is damaged or clogged, you might not be able to get the water you need. Worse yet, the water is no longer safe or healthy to use.
Leaky faucets are probably the most likely problem you can experience with your home plumbing. Whether it’s a dripping faucet or a wasteful stream of water, leaks can increase your monthly water bill. Depending on how much water is leaking, it can even result in water damage!
Leaky faucet repair is rarely a long, tedious process. Your plumber can locate the part causing the leak before repairing it or replacing it to restore proper water flow.
Your faucets provide both hot and cold water. Getting the right temperature usually depends on the faucet’s design, and whether it has one or two handles. Checking the handles for signs of trouble may occasionally resolve the issue.
But when the problem is a total lack of hot water, the issue might be more complex. This could be a sign your water heater is damaged; in which case a professional plumber should be contacted.
Instead of leaking, a broken faucet lowers water pressure and can keep water from flowing entirely. Not only is this annoying, but the additional pressure can result in other problems deeper in your plumbing system.
The strategy your plumber uses to resolve the problem requires recognizing the design of faucet you’re using. If you’re lucky, resolving the problem will be as simple as cleaning the affected component. Other issues can be traced to the seal separating your faucet from the water supply.
Remember that this doesn’t happen too often. So when your faucet isn’t the culprit, your plumber should then start to look for things like corroded pipes and clogs (as these also cause the water pressure to fall). Even partially closed valves could negatively impact the water pressure, resulting in weak flow.

A diagnostic fee, also known as a service call fee, is a typical charge levied by HVAC companies when a technician is dispatched to your home to diagnose the root cause of what’s affecting your HVAC system. A diagnostic fee covers the technician’s time, expertise and travel costs associated with determining the underlying cause of the problem. It’s basically a service fee for the technician’s professional inspection to pinpoint the cause of the malfunction.
It’s similar to visiting your doctor. They have to perform a thorough checkup to help figure out what’s wrong before recommending treatment. In the same way, the HVAC technician must diagnose your system to decide on the needed repairs or maintenance.
Once we’ve verified there’s a problem with your faucet, a little more info can help simplify repairs. Don’t forget that severe or widespread damage may make new faucet installation the more cost-efficient choice. Otherwise, you could soon be dealing with another plumbing problem.
The best repairs should start with knowing the type of faucet you use. This doesn’t mean whether it’s a kitchen faucet or a bathroom faucet, but what internal components are in place to deliver potable water. Your plumber will have sufficient experience with different faucet types so they can recognize yours quickly, beginning the repair process that much sooner.
Compression Faucet: This design is the oldest type of faucet still used today. It comes with a rubber washer and two handles to provide adequate water of the correct temperature.
Cartridge Faucet: Available in both one- and two-handle designs. A single-lever design will adjust the flow of water by raising and lowering the valve inside the handle.
Ball Faucet: The most popular type of single-lever faucet. When you move the lever, a plastic or metal ball moves within the faucet, enabling water to flow. Tiny chambers within the ball blend hot and cold water to create the desired temperature.
Ceramic Disk Faucet: Another single-lever design sometimes confused for a ball faucet. These faucets use a valve resembling a cartridge faucet, which goes up or down to provide water flow. In contrast, a ball faucet moves in a spherical direction.
After they learn what kind of faucet you have, the plumber’s next step is locating the initial source of the problem. Most designs can be divided into two portions, the faucet body and one or two faucet handles. Knowing the type of problem they’re dealing with can help further simplify things.
Regardless of what you’re dealing with, disassembling the faucet is often required for repairs. A proper repair kit should have tools like slip joint pliers or a basin wrench for adjusting or replacing any internal components.
Occasionally, your problem can be fixed by simply reaching the specific component and giving it a thorough cleaning. But in case of significant damage, replacing it is generally the right solution. These small pieces aren’t expensive, so you won’t have to worry about steep costs for a new part for the spout, O-ring or any washers.
This may be more complicated for special faucets, such as an outdoor garden hose.
