Signs Your Faucet Needs Repair
Most faucet problems start small and get worse with every use. Call a plumber when you notice any of these:
- A steady drip from the spout after the handle is off
- Water pooling around the base of the faucet or inside the cabinet below
- A handle that feels stiff, loose, or wobbly
- Weak flow or an uneven spray from the aerator
- Squealing, chattering, or banging when you open the tap
- Water that never shuts off completely
The EPA estimates that a faucet dripping once per second wastes more than 3,000 gallons a year. That water shows up on your City Utilities bill, and a slow leak at the supply line can soak the subfloor long before it shows on the ceiling below. If you suspect water is escaping somewhere you cannot see, our water leak detection service can find it.
Hard Water and Faucet Wear in the Ozarks
Springfield sits on limestone, and the water across Greene and Christian counties carries minerals that build up inside faucets. Calcium scale clogs aerators, wears down cartridges and O-rings, and leaves white crust around the spout and handles. Once the seals wear out, the drips start.
Older homes near Rountree, Phelps Grove, and Midtown often still have original fixtures and shut-off valves that seize after decades of scale. Our plumbers clean or replace the worn parts and check the valves under the sink so you can shut off water quickly in the future. If scale keeps coming back, a water softener installation protects every faucet and fixture in the house, and a whole-house water filtration system improves what comes out of the tap.
Kitchen, Bathroom, and Outdoor Faucet Repairs
We work on single-handle, double-handle, pull-down, and touchless faucets from brands like Moen, Delta, Kohler, and Pfister. Common repairs include:
- Replacing worn cartridges, washers, valve seats, and O-rings
- Cleaning or replacing clogged aerators
- Fixing leaks at the base, the handle, or the supply lines
- Replacing corroded or stuck shut-off valves under the sink
- Repairing pull-down hoses and side sprayers
- Repairing or replacing outdoor hose bibs
If the leak is coming from the drain or the garbage disposal instead of the faucet, our kitchen plumbing repair team handles that on the same visit.
Frozen and Split Outdoor Faucets
Springfield winters bring hard freezes, and an outdoor faucet is one of the first things to fail. A garden hose left connected traps water inside the hose bib. When it freezes, the pipe can split inside the wall, and the leak often stays hidden until the first time you turn on the hose in spring.
We replace damaged hose bibs with frost-free models that shut off water inside the heated part of the house. If you see water inside a basement or crawl space near an outside wall, our water leak detection service can find the exact spot without opening more wall than needed.
Repair or Replace Your Faucet?
Repair usually makes sense when the faucet body is in good shape and parts are available. A new cartridge or set of seals can make a quality faucet work like new for years.
Replacement is the better choice when the body is cracked or corroded, parts for an older model are no longer made, the finish is peeling, or the faucet has needed several repairs. If you are updating a kitchen or bath, we can install a new faucet along with other fixtures through our kitchen plumbing installation service. Our plumber explains both options and the price of each before any work begins.
What Happens During a Faucet Repair Visit
- We shut off the water at the fixture valve or the main and protect the area under the sink.
- We take the faucet apart, find the worn or damaged part, and check the supply lines and valves.
- We explain what we found and give you the price before starting the repair.
- We repair or replace the faucet, turn the water back on, and check every connection for leaks.
