FAQs
What are the most common reasons a kitchen faucet starts leaking?
In Rogersville homes, leaks often stem from worn-out rubber washers or O-rings, mineral buildup on cartridge seals, and loose packing nuts. High water pressure and hard-water deposits—both common in our regional water supply—can accelerate wear. Identifying the exact cause early prevents water damage to cabinets, drywall, and flooring.
Is it better to repair my leaking faucet or replace the entire fixture?
If your faucet is under 8–10 years old and the body is in good shape, a simple cartridge or washer swap may solve the leak. However, if the finish is pitted, the fixture is outdated, or repairs have become frequent, replacement is usually more cost-effective. Newer faucets offer water-saving aerators and lifetime warranties, delivering long-term value and efficiency.
How long does a professional faucet replacement usually take?
For most standard drop-in or single-hole kitchen faucets, our Rogersville plumbers can complete removal and installation in 60–90 minutes. Time may increase if shut-off valves are corroded, the sink requires reinforcement, or additional features like filtration systems are added. We always provide a time estimate after the onsite assessment.
Can a new faucet help me lower my water bill?
Yes. Modern faucets include low-flow aerators that limit output to 1.5 gallons per minute without sacrificing pressure. Replacing a leak that drips once per second can save more than 3,000 gallons annually—about $35–$45 on Rogersville’s average water rates. Pairing a new faucet with upgraded supply lines further reduces the chance of hidden leaks.
Is faucet replacement a DIY project, or should I hire a licensed plumber?
Handy homeowners can handle simple swaps, but hiring a licensed Rogersville plumber ensures proper shut-off, secure fittings, and code-compliant connections. Professionals can also spot related issues, such as corroded supply valves or deteriorating sink traps, preventing future leaks and costly repairs. Most manufacturers require professional installation to honor warranties.
