FAQs
What are the most common reasons a faucet starts dripping?
A faucet usually drips because one or more internal parts—such as washers, O-rings, or cartridge seals—have worn out, become corroded, or accumulated mineral buildup from Talbott’s hard water. High water pressure and improper installation can also cause leaks. A professional plumber can diagnose which part has failed and determine whether a repair or full fixture replacement is the best solution.
Will a dripping faucet really make a noticeable difference on my Talbott water bill?
Yes. A faucet that drips once per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons of water per year, which quickly drives up utility costs. Fixing or replacing a leaking fixture not only stops the annoying drip but also lowers your monthly water bill and conserves a valuable resource.
Should I repair the faucet or replace it entirely?
If your faucet is relatively new and the finish is in good condition, a simple repair—such as changing a cartridge or washer—may be all that’s needed. However, if the faucet is older, corroded, out of style, or repeatedly leaking, a full replacement is often more cost-effective. Newer fixtures offer better water efficiency, upgraded finishes, and longer manufacturer warranties.
How long does a typical faucet repair or replacement take?
Most single-faucet repairs are completed in 30–60 minutes, while a full replacement generally takes 1–2 hours, assuming shut-off valves are functioning properly and no additional plumbing issues are found. We schedule convenient appointment windows for Talbott homeowners and arrive with the parts and tools needed to finish the job in one visit whenever possible.
Do you offer other plumbing fixture replacement services besides faucets?
Absolutely. Our licensed plumbers replace and install sinks, showerheads, tub spouts, toilets, garbage disposals, and supply lines. We also upgrade shut-off valves and install water-saving fixtures that meet EPA WaterSense standards. If it moves water in your home, we can repair or replace it.
What warranties and guarantees come with your faucet replacements in Talbott?
We stand behind our work with a two-part guarantee: (1) a labor warranty that covers our workmanship for one year, and (2) the manufacturer’s warranty on the faucet itself, which often ranges from 5 years to lifetime coverage. If a drip reappears within the warranty period, we’ll return promptly to make it right at no extra charge.
