FAQs
What are the most common causes of a leaky faucet?
Most leaks come from worn-out internal parts such as O-rings, washers, and cartridges that lose their seal over time. Mineral buildup from Harrison’s hard water, corrosion on valve seats, and loose or damaged faucet components can also create drips. Identifying the exact cause early prevents further wear and costly water damage.
How can I tell if my faucet needs repair or full replacement?
If the leak is isolated to a single handle or spout and the faucet body is in good condition, a repair—usually replacing the cartridge, washer, or O-ring—will solve the problem. You may need a full replacement if the faucet is heavily corroded, has multiple recurring leaks, or is an outdated model where parts are no longer available. Our plumbers can assess the condition on-site and recommend the most cost-effective option.
Can a leaky faucet really increase my water bill?
Yes. A faucet that drips once per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons of water annually—roughly the amount needed for over 180 showers. In Harrison, that translates to noticeable increases on quarterly water bills and an unnecessary strain on the local water supply. Prompt repair saves money and conserves resources.
Is it safe to fix a leaky faucet myself, or should I call a professional?
Simple repairs such as replacing a washer are achievable for handy homeowners, but many modern faucets require specialized tools and brand-specific cartridges. If you misidentify the faucet model, overtighten parts, or forget to shut off the water, you risk bigger leaks or damage. Calling a licensed Harrison plumber ensures the correct parts are used, manufacturer warranties are maintained, and the job is completed quickly and safely.
How quickly can your Harrison plumbing team respond to a leaky faucet call?
We offer same-day service for most leaky faucet issues in Harrison and the surrounding areas. Dispatch can usually send a technician within a 2- to 4-hour window for non-emergencies. For continuous leaks that cannot be shut off, we provide 24/7 emergency response and aim to be on-site within an hour to stop water loss and minimize damage.
What is the typical cost of repairing a leaky faucet in Harrison?
Repair costs generally range from $95 to $225, depending on the faucet type (compression, cartridge, ceramic-disk, or ball), the price of replacement parts, and labor time. If the faucet is beyond economical repair, a full replacement—including a mid-range new fixture and installation—typically runs $250 to $450. We always provide a written estimate up front and waive the diagnostic fee when you proceed with the repair.
