FAQs
What are the most common reasons a faucet starts dripping?
In most Clairfield homes, dripping is caused by worn-out washers or O-rings, mineral buildup on internal parts, or a damaged valve seat or cartridge. High water pressure and old supply lines can also accelerate wear. Our technicians start with a full inspection to pinpoint the exact cause before recommending either a targeted repair or a complete replacement.
Why is it important to fix a dripping faucet right away?
A single faucet that drips once per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons of water per year—enough to fill over 60 bathtubs. Beyond the utility costs, constant moisture can stain sinks, promote mold growth, and corrode metal components. Prompt repair or replacement protects your plumbing system, lowers your water bill, and supports Clairfield’s conservation efforts.
Should I repair my existing faucet or replace it with a new fixture?
We usually weigh repair vs. replacement based on the faucet’s age, finish condition, availability of parts, and water efficiency standards. If the body is corroded or parts are obsolete, a new fixture is the smarter long-term solution. When the faucet is less than 10 years old and parts are available, a simple cartridge, washer, or aerator swap may be all that’s needed. Our plumber will explain both options and the associated costs so you can decide with confidence.
How much does faucet replacement cost in Clairfield?
Most standard kitchen or bathroom faucet replacements fall between $185 and $450, including labor, basic shut-off valve inspection, supply line upgrades, and haul-away of the old unit. Premium designer or touch-activated models, extensive countertop modifications, or under-sink repairs can increase the total. We provide upfront, flat-rate quotes after an on-site assessment, so there are no surprises on your final bill.
How long does the faucet repair or replacement process take?
A straightforward repair—such as replacing a cartridge or washer—usually takes 30–60 minutes. A full replacement of a standard deck-mount faucet averages 60–90 minutes, provided shut-off valves operate properly and no additional plumbing issues are uncovered. We schedule convenient appointment windows and carry a wide inventory of parts and fixtures to minimize downtime for Clairfield homeowners.
Can you help me choose water-efficient fixtures, and do you install them?
Absolutely. We stock and install faucets that meet or exceed EPA WaterSense® standards, which can reduce household water use by up to 20 % without sacrificing performance. During our visit we’ll review style, finish, spout height, and spray options, then recommend models that fit your décor, budget, and flow-rate goals. Once you decide, we handle the full installation, warranty registration, and haul-away of the old fixture.
