FAQs
What are the most common causes of faucet leaks in Evensville homes?
In Evensville we see faucet leaks caused mainly by worn-out rubber washers or O-rings, sediment from our moderately hard municipal water scratching the valve seat, and aging cartridge or ball assemblies in single-handle faucets. High water pressure and seasonal temperature swings can also expand or contract internal parts, loosening seals until drips appear.
How do I know if my faucet needs to be repaired or completely replaced?
A faucet that only drips or has a loose handle usually needs a repair—replacing washers, cartridges, or seals typically solves the problem. Replacement is recommended when the fixture is more than 10–15 years old, is corroded or pitted, no longer matches current plumbing code, or when parts are obsolete and difficult to source. If you also want to upgrade to a low-flow or touchless model, replacement is the better option.
What is the typical cost range for leaky faucet repair or fixture replacement in Evensville?
For a straightforward repair (new washers, cartridge, minor labor) you can expect $85–$175, depending on faucet style and accessibility. A full faucet replacement, including a mid-grade fixture, new supply lines, shut-off valves, and labor, generally runs $225–$450. Designer or touchless faucets, or installations requiring countertop modifications, can raise the total to $600 or more.
How long does a standard faucet repair or replacement take?
A basic repair on a readily accessible sink usually takes 30–60 minutes. Complete fixture replacement, including shutting off water, removing the old faucet, installing the new one, and leak testing, averages 1–2 hours. Extra time may be required if shut-off valves are seized, the countertop opening needs adjustment, or corrosion has bonded parts together.
Can fixing a leaky faucet really save me money on my water bill?
Absolutely. A faucet dripping once every second wastes roughly 3,000 gallons of water per year—about two months of normal indoor use for many Evensville households. At current regional water rates, repairing that leak can save $40–$60 annually, not to mention reducing strain on Evensville’s water treatment facilities.
Why should I hire a licensed Evensville plumber instead of attempting a DIY repair?
While DIY videos make repairs look simple, every faucet model has unique components and disassembly steps. A licensed Evensville plumber ensures: (1) the correct replacement parts are used, (2) shut-off valves and supply lines are inspected and upgraded if needed, (3) no hidden leaks develop inside the cabinet, and (4) local plumbing codes are followed to protect your home insurance coverage. Professional work also comes with a workmanship warranty, giving you peace of mind.
