FAQs
What are the most common reasons a faucet starts dripping?
The usual culprits are worn-out rubber washers, deteriorated O-rings, or a corroded valve seat inside the faucet body. Hard-water mineral buildup found in many Monteagle homes can also erode internal parts, causing a constant drip. If left unaddressed, even a slow leak can waste hundreds of gallons of water per year and raise your utility bill.
Should I repair my existing faucet or replace it altogether?
If the faucet is fairly new and the body is in good shape, replacing cartridges or washers is cost-effective. However, if the fixture is 10–15 years old, shows signs of corrosion, or has outdated parts that are hard to source, replacement is usually the smarter long-term choice. Modern faucets offer better efficiency, longer warranties, and updated styles that can boost your home’s value.
Can new faucets really help me save water and money?
Yes. EPA WaterSense-labeled kitchen and bathroom faucets use at least 20 % less water than standard models without sacrificing performance. Over a year, a typical Monteagle household can save up to 700 gallons of water, which translates into noticeable savings on both water and sewer bills.
Do you offer same-day faucet repairs and replacements in the Monteagle area?
Absolutely. Because we’re locally based, our technicians can reach most Monteagle addresses within 60–90 minutes. We keep a fully stocked service van with common cartridges, aerators, supply lines, and a selection of popular replacement faucets so we can complete most jobs the same day you call.
What does it typically cost to fix or replace a drippy faucet?
For simple repairs—such as swapping a cartridge or washer—labor and parts generally run $120–$180. Full faucet replacements range from $250 for a basic bathroom model to $550 or more for a premium pull-down kitchen faucet, including removal of the old unit, new supply lines, installation, and disposal. We always provide a written, no-obligation quote before any work begins.
How do I schedule an appointment, and what should I expect on service day?
Call our 24/7 hotline or book online. We’ll confirm a two-hour arrival window and email you a picture and bio of the technician. On service day, the technician will inspect the faucet, explain repair vs. replacement options, and present upfront pricing. Once you approve, we get to work immediately and clean up the workspace before leaving. All labor is backed by a one-year warranty, and new faucets carry their manufacturer guarantees.
