FAQs
What are the most common reasons a faucet drips?
In most Friendsville homes, faucet drips typically stem from worn-out rubber washers or O-rings, corroded valve seats, loose parts, or mineral buildup on internal components. High water pressure can also cause intermittent leaks. Our technicians begin each service call with a detailed inspection to pinpoint the exact cause before recommending repair or replacement.
Is a slowly dripping faucet really a big deal?
Yes. A faucet that drips once per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons of water annually—enough to fill a small swimming pool. Besides inflating your utility bill, the constant moisture can stain fixtures, promote mold growth under sinks, and stress plumbing connections. Prompt repair protects both your wallet and your plumbing system.
Can I fix a dripping faucet myself, or should I call a plumber?
Simple cartridge or washer replacements are DIY-friendly if you have the right tools and shut-off valves that work properly. However, many Friendsville homeowners run into stripped screws, frozen bolts, or specialty cartridges that require professional extraction tools. If you lack plumbing experience—or if the faucet still leaks after a DIY attempt—calling our licensed plumbers ensures a lasting, code-compliant repair and prevents accidental water damage.
How much does it cost to repair a leaking faucet in Friendsville?
Most basic dripping-faucet repairs in Friendsville range from $95 to $175, including parts. Prices rise if the faucet is an older model with obsolete cartridges, if the shut-off valves also need replacement, or if corrosion has damaged the valve seat. We provide upfront, flat-rate quotes after a quick on-site evaluation, so there are no surprises on your final bill.
How quickly can your team get to my house?
Because we’re based just minutes from downtown Friendsville, we offer same-day service for most leaking-faucet calls received before 2 p.m. For evening or weekend emergencies, our 24/7 dispatch can usually have a licensed plumber at your door within two hours. You’ll receive text or phone updates with the technician’s ETA.
Do you guarantee your faucet repair work?
Absolutely. All dripping-faucet repairs come with a one-year labor warranty and manufacturer-backed part warranties (typically one to five years). If the faucet drips again within the warranty period due to a workmanship issue, we’ll return at no charge. We also provide maintenance tips—such as periodically cleaning aerators and operating shut-off valves—to help you extend the life of your newly repaired faucet.
