FAQs
What are the most common reasons a kitchen faucet starts leaking?
In Madisonville homes we most often see leaks caused by worn-out rubber washers or O-rings, corroded valve seats, mineral build-up from our moderately hard water, and loose or damaged supply-line connections. Any of these issues can allow water to escape around the spout or under the sink, leading to higher utility bills and possible cabinet damage if left untreated.
How can I tell whether my faucet can be repaired or if it really needs to be replaced?
A faucet that is only a few years old and has an isolated problem—such as a worn cartridge or a loose packing nut—can usually be repaired inexpensively. If the fixture is more than 10–12 years old, leaking from multiple points, has visible corrosion, or no longer matches your kitchen’s needs or décor, replacement is usually the smarter long-term choice. During our service visit we inspect the faucet body, cartridges, and supply lines, then give you a clear recommendation and price before any work begins.
How long does a standard kitchen faucet replacement take?
Most replacements take 60–90 minutes once we’re on site. This includes shutting off the water, disconnecting supply lines, removing the old faucet, cleaning the sink deck, installing the new fixture, testing for leaks, and hauling away the old parts. If shut-off valves or supply lines also need replacement, the job can extend to about two hours.
Will installing a new faucet help me save water and lower my utility bill?
Yes. Modern kitchen faucets are required to flow at 1.8 gallons per minute or less, compared with older models that often ran at 2.2 gpm or more. Many new fixtures include aerators and ceramic cartridges that maintain pressure while using less water. Over a year, that can save a typical Madisonville household a few hundred gallons of water and trim both water and water-heating costs.
What is the average cost to replace a kitchen faucet in the Madisonville area?
Costs vary with the faucet style and any needed valve or line upgrades, but most homeowners spend $225–$350 for a straightforward replace-and-install when they supply their own faucet. If you’d like us to provide a mid-range fixture, total cost typically ranges from $375–$550. We always give a firm, up-front quote before starting work, so there are no surprises.
Do you offer emergency or same-day service for leaking kitchen faucets?
Absolutely. We keep several fully stocked service vehicles in Madisonville and can usually arrive the same day, often within a few hours. For severe leaks that threaten cabinets or flooring, call our 24/7 emergency line and we’ll dispatch a technician immediately to shut off the water and prevent further damage before making the repair or replacement.
