FAQs
What are the most common reasons a faucet starts leaking, and how can I tell if it needs to be replaced rather than repaired?
The majority of leaks are caused by worn-out rubber washers, damaged ceramic cartridges, corroded valve seats, or loose O-rings. If tightening the handle or replacing simple parts no longer stops the drip, if the fixture has visible corrosion or pitting, or if it’s more than 10–15 years old, replacement is usually more cost-effective. Our Benton technicians perform a full inspection to determine whether a repair will restore full function or if installing a new fixture will save you money in the long run.
Can you repair any type of leaky faucet, or do some fixtures have to be replaced?
We service compression, ball, cartridge, and ceramic-disk faucets from all major brands. In many cases, a targeted repair—such as changing a cartridge or tightening packing nuts—solves the problem. However, if parts are discontinued, the finish is severely worn, or the fixture’s body is cracked, replacing the faucet is the safest option. We’ll always present both repair and replacement costs up front so you can choose the best solution for your Benton home.
How much water and money can I save by fixing a leaking faucet in Benton?
A single faucet that drips once per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons of water per year—roughly the amount needed to take 180 showers. At Benton’s average water rates, that can add $35–$50 to your annual utility bill. Stopping the leak immediately not only saves water but also prevents moisture damage inside cabinets or walls, which can lead to expensive repairs.
What kinds of new plumbing fixtures do you install, and can I upgrade to water-efficient models?
We install kitchen, bathroom, bar, and utility faucets as well as sinks, shower valves, and other fixtures. If you want to boost efficiency, we offer WaterSense-certified faucets that reduce flow to 1.5 gpm without sacrificing pressure, touchless models for better hygiene, and ADA-compliant lever-handle designs. During your consultation, we’ll recommend options that fit your style, budget, and Benton’s plumbing code requirements.
How long does it take to repair or replace a faucet, and will my water be turned off during the service?
Most repairs take 30–60 minutes; full replacements usually require 1–2 hours. We’ll shut off water only to the affected fixture, so the rest of your home remains supplied. After installation, we flush the lines, test for leaks, and clean the work area so you can use the new faucet right away.
Do you provide estimates and warranties for faucet repairs and fixture replacements in Benton?
Yes. We offer free, no-obligation written estimates before any work begins. All repairs are backed by a 1-year labor warranty, and new fixtures carry the manufacturer’s parts warranty—typically 5–10 years. If a problem recurs within the warranty period, simply call us and we’ll resolve it at no additional cost.
