FAQs
What causes a faucet to drip, and how do I know if it’s time for repair or full replacement?
Most dripping faucets are caused by worn-out washers, cartridges, or O-rings that no longer seal properly. Mineral deposits common in Hillsboro’s water supply can accelerate wear. If the faucet body is corroded, the finish is flaking, or replacement parts are no longer available, a full fixture replacement is usually the most cost-effective option. Otherwise, a targeted repair of the internal parts can often stop the leak.
How much water does a dripping faucet waste?
A single faucet dripping once per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons of water a year—enough to fill a small backyard swimming pool. In Hillsboro, where water conservation is encouraged, repairing or replacing a leaking fixture not only saves money on your utility bill but also supports community sustainability goals.
What is the typical cost to repair or replace a faucet in Hillsboro?
Repairing a standard kitchen or bathroom faucet typically ranges from $125–$225, including parts and labor. A full replacement—labor plus a mid-grade fixture—usually runs $250–$450. Premium designer faucets or complex installations (e.g., wall-mounted or pot fillers) can cost more. We always provide a written, up-front estimate after an on-site inspection.
How long does a faucet repair or replacement appointment take?
Most repairs are completed in 30–60 minutes. A straightforward replacement generally takes 1–2 hours, including removal of the old fixture, installation, testing, and cleanup. If corrosion, hard-to-reach shut-off valves, or countertop modifications are required, the visit may extend slightly, but same-day completion is the norm.
Can I supply my own faucet or plumbing fixture for you to install?
Yes. We’re happy to install homeowner-purchased fixtures as long as they meet Oregon plumbing codes and are appropriate for your existing connections. Keep the manufacturer’s instructions and all included parts. Note that warranties on customer-supplied fixtures are handled through the manufacturer; our labor warranty covers only the installation.
Do you offer eco-friendly or water-saving faucet options?
Absolutely. We carry a wide selection of WaterSense-certified faucets that reduce flow without sacrificing performance. Upgrading to these high-efficiency models can cut faucet water use by up to 30%. During the consultation we’ll review options, rebate programs available to Hillsboro residents, and long-term savings projections.
