Faucet Repair — frequently asked
Can a dripping faucet be repaired instead of replaced?+
Usually yes. Most drips come from a worn cartridge or O-ring that can be replaced. Replacement of the whole faucet is only needed if the body is cracked or parts are unavailable.
Why has my faucet flow dropped?+
A common cause is mineral buildup in the aerator. Removing and cleaning the aerator often restores normal flow; if not, the supply line or valve may need checking.
