Why Faucets Drip and Sinks Back Up
A faucet drip wastes water around the clock and almost always signals a worn cartridge, washer or O-ring giving out from years of use. We repair or rebuild most faucets on the first visit because common cartridges and valve stems ride on the truck instead of getting ordered afterward.
Sink problems are not limited to the faucet. A slow-draining bathroom sink usually points to a clogged trap or buildup in the drain arm, while a kitchen sink that gurgles or backs up often means the trap, disposal, or branch line has a partial blockage. We check the whole path from faucet to drain rather than swapping the visible part and hoping. Older cabinets and vanities also hide corroded supply lines and stiff shut-off valves that make a simple repair harder than it should be, so we inspect that hardware while we are already under the sink.
Common Problems We Fix
Most calls fall into a few categories, and knowing which one you have tells you how urgent it is.
Dripping and Leaking Faucets
A constant drip traces back to a worn cartridge, ball valve or washer inside the faucet body. We match internal parts to your faucet brand and rebuild it rather than replacing the whole fixture unless the body itself is cracked.
Low Water Pressure at the Sink
Weak flow at one faucet is often a clogged aerator or a partly closed shut-off valve. Weak flow at every fixture points to mineral buildup in old supply lines or a pressure regulator that needs adjustment. We test flow at the fixture and at the main line before deciding which one is the culprit.
Slow Drains and Garbage Disposals
Grease and hair build up inside a trap until the drain slows to a trickle. Disposals that hum without spinning, leak, or trip the breaker are usually jammed or worn out, and we repair or replace based on condition.
Installation and Upgrades Done Right
Whether replacing a builder-grade kitchen faucet or adding a vanity sink during a remodel, we handle proper supply line connections, a sealed drain assembly, and shut-off valves that actually shut off, which older units do not always have. What affects the cost of a sink or faucet job is mostly the condition of what is already there, since a straightforward swap with accessible valves is a quick job while corroded supply lines or a mismatched countertop cutout takes more time and parts, and we tell you that upfront before starting.

Why a Small Drip Is Worth Fixing Now
A faucet dripping every few seconds can waste thousands of gallons a year, showing up directly on your water bill. It also warns of a valve that could fail completely without notice, sometimes while no one is home. Fixing a five-minute drip now is far cheaper than dealing with a stuck-open valve later, and it usually takes a single visit with parts already on hand.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my faucet keep dripping after I replaced the washer?+
A drip that continues after a washer swap usually means the valve seat, cartridge or O-ring is also worn, not just the washer. Mineral deposits can also keep a new washer from seating properly. We rebuild the faucet with matched parts so the whole assembly seals correctly.
Why is the water pressure low at just one sink?+
Low pressure at a single faucet is most often a clogged aerator or a shut-off valve that is not fully open. If clearing the aerator does not fix it, the supply line may have mineral buildup restricting flow. We check both before recommending a larger repair.
Why does my kitchen sink keep clogging in the same spot?+
A drain that clogs repeatedly usually has grease or scale buildup that a plunger or drain cleaner only partially clears. Over time this narrows the pipe until debris catches again quickly. We clear the line and camera it if the clog keeps recurring.
How do I know if my garbage disposal needs to be replaced instead of repaired?+
A disposal that hums but will not spin can sometimes be freed with a reset, but one that leaks, trips the breaker repeatedly, or has a burned-out motor needs replacement. Most disposals last eight to twelve years. We test the unit on site and tell you plainly which option makes sense.
How much does it cost to install a new kitchen or bathroom faucet?+
Cost depends on the faucet chosen and the condition of the supply lines and shut-off valves already in place. A straightforward swap with working valves is priced at the low end, while a job needing new valves costs more. We give a firm price after looking at the setup.
