FAQs
What are the most common reasons a faucet starts leaking?
In Luttrell homes, leaks are usually caused by worn-out rubber washers or O-rings, mineral-scale buildup on internal parts, or corrosion of the valve seat. High water pressure and loose parts can also create drips. Our technicians begin every service call with a full inspection to pinpoint the exact cause so we repair only what’s needed or recommend replacement when necessary.
How can I tell whether my faucet should be repaired or completely replaced?
Age and overall condition are the biggest factors. If the faucet is less than 10 years old and the body is in good shape, a repair—such as replacing cartridges, washers, or seals—is usually cost-effective. For older fixtures, those with pitted or cracked bodies, or models whose parts are no longer manufactured, replacement is the smarter, longer-lasting solution. We’ll always present both options and their costs up-front so you can decide confidently.
Is it okay to ignore a small drip for a while?
A single faucet dripping once per second can waste more than 2,000 gallons a year, raising your utility bill and promoting mildew or water damage under sinks. Drips also tend to worsen, which can lead to sudden failures and emergency calls. Scheduling a quick repair now typically saves money and hassle compared with waiting until the leak becomes severe.
How long will a faucet repair or full fixture replacement take?
Most standard repairs in Luttrell take about 30–60 minutes once we have the needed parts on site. A full faucet swap, including removal of the old fixture and installation of a new one, usually runs 1–2 hours. Complex installations—such as wall-mounted or touchless models—may add extra time, but we’ll give you a precise timeline before work begins.
Can you install a faucet or fixture that I purchased myself?
Absolutely. If you’ve already picked out a kitchen or bathroom faucet, simply let us know the make and model when you book the appointment. We’ll confirm that it’s compatible with your existing plumbing and inform you of any additional fittings required. All workmanship is guaranteed, though manufacturer warranties on the faucet itself follow the terms set by the brand.
Are water-efficient or touchless faucets really worth the upgrade?
Yes. WaterSense-labeled fixtures can cut household faucet water use by up to 30 percent, which lowers utility bills and conserves resources. Touchless models add convenience and reduce the spread of germs—especially useful in busy kitchens. Since modern faucets are designed for quick retrofits, the installation cost is modest relative to the long-term savings and added home value.
