FAQs
What are the most common reasons a kitchen faucet starts leaking in Flintville homes?
The main culprits are worn-out rubber washers or O-rings, mineral buildup from Flintville’s moderately hard water, corroded valve seats, or loose parts that have vibrated over time. Freezing winter temperatures can also cause tiny cracks in supply lines and faucet bodies if pipes are not adequately insulated.
Is it cheaper to repair my existing faucet or replace it with a new fixture?
If the faucet body is in good shape and the leak stems from a single cartridge, washer, or O-ring, a repair is usually the most economical option (often under $150 parts and labor). However, faucets over 10–12 years old, those with multiple worn components, or finishes that are badly pitted typically cost less to replace than to keep repairing. Modern WaterSense-labeled faucets can cut water use by up to 30%, delivering long-term savings that offset the initial replacement cost.
How much water—and money—can a dripping kitchen faucet waste?
A drip rate as slow as one drop per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons of water a year. At Flintville’s average municipal water rate (about $0.007 per gallon), that’s roughly $20 annually per faucet. Multiple leaks multiply the waste, and if hot water is leaking, you are also paying to heat the water you never use.
What is your process for kitchen faucet replacement in Flintville?
1. Pre-visit phone assessment to confirm model and shut-off valve condition. 2. On-site inspection and solid quote before work starts. 3. Isolate water supply, disconnect supply lines, and remove the old faucet. 4. Clean the sink deck, install new gasket or putty, and mount the new fixture. 5. Connect new braided stainless supply hoses, turn on water, and pressure-test. 6. Check for leaks, adjust flow, and haul away the old faucet for eco-friendly disposal. Most replacements take 60–90 minutes barring unforeseen sink or shut-off valve issues.
How soon can you arrive for an emergency kitchen faucet leak in Flintville?
For active leaks that can’t be stopped at the shut-off, we offer 24/7 emergency dispatch and can typically arrive anywhere in the Flintville area within 60–90 minutes. For non-urgent drips, we provide same-day or next-day appointments to prevent further water waste and potential cabinet damage.
Do you guarantee your faucet repair or replacement work?
Yes. All labor is covered by a 1-year workmanship guarantee, and most faucets we install come with a manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty on mechanical parts and finish. If your new faucet develops a leak within our warranty period, we’ll return at no charge to make it right.
