FAQs
What are the most common causes of a dripping faucet in Friendsville homes?
Most leaks start with small, inexpensive parts that have worn out over time. In Friendsville we most often find deteriorated rubber washers or O-rings, mineral build-up on ceramic cartridges, corroded valve seats caused by our local water chemistry, and excessively high household water pressure. Left unchecked, any of these issues lets water seep past the seal and creates the steady drip you hear.
How do I know whether my faucet should be repaired or completely replaced?
During our service visit we inspect the fixture’s age, condition, and the availability of replacement parts. Faucets newer than 10–12 years that only need a washer, cartridge, or minor seat resurfacing are usually worth repairing. If the finish is pitted, the body is cracked, parts are no longer made, or the faucet is more than 15 years old, replacement is normally the most cost-effective and reliable option. We present both choices and let you decide after seeing the pros, cons, and prices.
How much does it typically cost to fix or replace a dripping faucet in Friendsville?
Prices vary by fixture type and the work required, but a basic service call and simple repair generally ranges from $125–$250, including parts. Cartridge-style faucets average $150–$300 because the replacement cartridges cost more. Full faucet replacement, which includes removal of the old unit, new supply lines, and a quality mid-grade faucet, typically falls between $250 and $600. You always receive an upfront, written quote before we begin.
How quickly can your plumbers come out, and how long does the job take?
We offer same-day and next-day appointments throughout Friendsville. Emergency slots are available for serious leaks. Most drip repairs take 30–60 minutes once we arrive; complete faucet replacement usually runs 1–2 hours, including clean-up and testing. We carry a large stock of common parts and several popular replacement faucets on our trucks to keep your downtime to a minimum.
Will replacing an old dripping faucet really save water and lower my utility bills?
Absolutely. A faucet that drips once per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons of water a year—enough to run 180 dishwasher loads. Installing a new WaterSense-certified fixture reduces flow by at least 20 % without sacrificing pressure, which can cut a typical Friendsville household’s water bill by 10-15 %. You also avoid the hidden cost of moisture damage to cabinets and countertops.
Do you offer warranties or guarantees on faucet repairs and new fixture installations?
Yes. All our workmanship is covered by a 1-year labor warranty, and the faucets we install carry a manufacturer’s parts warranty that ranges from 5 years to a limited lifetime, depending on brand. If the repair or new fixture develops the same problem during the warranty period, we return at no charge to make it right. We are fully licensed, bonded, and insured for your peace of mind.
