Professional Faucet Repair When You Need It

A leaky faucet isn't just annoying. That constant drip can waste thousands of gallons of water each year and add a noticeable bump to your water bill. Even worse, a damaged faucet can develop into a bigger plumbing problem if it's not addressed promptly. Whether your faucet is spraying in the wrong direction, leaking underneath the sink, or refusing to turn off completely, our technicians can diagnose the issue and get it fixed fast.

We've been handling faucet repairs throughout Vandalia for years. We know the common problems that show up, what causes them, and how to fix them right the first time. No guessing, no unnecessary replacements when a repair will do. Just straight plumbing work from someone who understands your situation.

Common Faucet Problems We Fix

Persistent Dripping

That slow drip from your faucet often means the internal seals have worn out. Even one drop per second adds up fast. We replace the cartridge or valve and stop the waste.

Water Under the Sink

Puddles appearing in your cabinet mean something is loose or cracked below. We'll locate the leak, whether it's a connection or the body of the faucet itself, and seal it up.

Low or Weird Water Pressure

When one faucet suddenly loses pressure or sprays unevenly, it could be a clogged aerator, a stuck valve, or damaged internal parts. We identify the culprit and fix it.

Faucet Won't Turn Off

A faucet handle that keeps running or shuts off only partially means the internal valve isn't closing all the way. This is a common repair, and we get it done quickly.

Corrosion and Staining

Visible buildup around the base or mineral deposits blocking the aerator can reduce flow and look unsightly. We clean or replace as needed.

Loose or Damaged Handle

A handle that won't stay in place, feels mushy, or breaks off is both frustrating and a sign the faucet needs attention. We repair or replace it.

Why Faucets Fail

Wear and Tear

Faucets get used dozens of times a day. Every turn of the handle, every temperature adjustment, puts stress on internal seals, springs, and cartridges. After years of daily use, these parts simply wear down. The rubber washers that create a watertight seal harden and crack. The valve seat can develop pits and corrosion. This is normal and unavoidable, but it is fixable.

Hard Water and Mineral Buildup

Vandalia water can be hard, meaning it contains dissolved minerals like calcium and magnesium. Over time, these minerals build up inside your faucet, especially in the aerator and valve seats. The deposits restrict water flow, create weird spray patterns, and eventually clog the works. We clean out the buildup or replace the affected parts so everything flows smoothly again.

Manufacturing Defects

Sometimes a faucet just isn't built well. Even new fixtures can have weak points, poor seals, or substandard internal components. When a newer faucet fails, we can often identify the defect, fix it, or replace the faucet if it's still under warranty.

Accidents and Impact Damage

Dropped items, bumped handles, and pressure from plumbing work nearby can crack the faucet body or bend internal parts. Impact damage sometimes shows up right away, and sometimes takes a while to manifest as a leak or loss of function.

Wrong Repair Attempts

DIY fixes and amateur plumbing can make faucet problems worse. Overtightening, mixing up part numbers, or using the wrong washers creates new leaks and damages seats. When you've tried something and it didn't work, give us a call. We'll fix the original problem and any damage from the attempted repair.

What Happens During a Faucet Repair Visit

Inspection and Diagnosis

We start by looking at your faucet and understanding exactly what's wrong. Is it leaking? Where exactly? Does the handle feel wrong? We check the visible parts, turn the faucet on and off, and look underneath to spot any obvious leaks or damage. Then we explain what we've found in plain terms.

Determining the Fix

Based on what we see, we tell you whether the faucet needs a simple repair like a new cartridge, a cleaning to remove mineral deposits, or a full replacement. We discuss options and costs before starting any work. If it's a repair, great. If it's time for a new faucet, we give you choices that match your budget and style.

Turning Off the Water

Before we touch anything, we shut off the water supply to that faucet. Every sink has shutoff valves underneath, and we use those. If they're stuck or corroded, we may need to shut off the main. This step keeps water from pouring everywhere while we work.

Taking It Apart and Fixing It

Depending on the faucet type, we carefully disassemble the handle, spout, and valve. We remove the old cartridge, clean out mineral buildup, replace worn seals, or install new parts. Everything is put back together the right way, with proper thread sealant on connections so they don't leak.

Testing and Adjusting

Once it's reassembled, we turn the water back on and test everything. We check for leaks at every connection, make sure the handle operates smoothly, verify the water pressure is normal, and check that the temperature adjustment works if it's a mixing faucet. If anything isn't quite right, we adjust it.

Cleanup and Explanation

We clean up after ourselves, dispose of old parts properly, and walk you through the repair. We explain what was wrong, what we fixed, and what to watch for going forward. If you need any maintenance tips or part recommendations, we share that too.
