Common Faucet & Fixture Problems We Fix

Georgetown's hard water creates unique challenges. Here's what we repair every day.

Dripping or Leaking Faucet

Caused by worn washers, corroded valve seats, or damaged cartridges. A single drip per second wastes 3,000 gallons/year. Georgetown's 15–25 gpg hard water accelerates seal degradation. Fix: $75–$200.

Low Water Pressure

Clogged aerators from mineral buildup restrict flow. Simple fix: clean/replace aerator ($50–$75). Complex fix: cartridge replacement ($100–$200). We diagnose the root cause.

Handle Problems

Won't shut off, stiff to turn, or leaks around handle. Usually caused by worn cartridges or mineral deposits from hard water. Fix: Cartridge replacement ($100–$200) or full replacement.

Spray Head / Diverter Issues

Stuck diverters, worn O-rings, or calcium buildup affect pull-down and pull-out kitchen faucets. We clean or replace diverters ($75–$150) to restore full functionality.

Leaking at Faucet Base

Corroded O-rings, cracked cartridges, or loose mounting nuts can damage cabinets and countertops. Fix: O-ring replacement ($50–$100), cartridge swap ($100–$200), or new faucet.

No Hot or Cold Water

Cartridge failure or valve seat damage on single-lever faucets causes temperature issues. Fix: Cartridge replacement ($100–$200) or full faucet replacement ($300–$600+).

Georgetown's Hard Water Challenge

Hard Water & Faucet Maintenance

Georgetown's water comes from the Edwards Aquifer, passing through limestone. Water hardness measures 15–25 grains per gallon (classified "very hard"). Calcium and magnesium deposits accumulate inside faucets, aerators, and cartridges.

**Preventive Maintenance:** Clean aerators every 3–6 months. Remove the aerator tip, soak in white vinegar for 30 minutes, brush clean, and reinstall. Cost: Free DIY or $50–$75 professional service.

**Long-Term Solution:** Install a water softener ($1,500–$4,000) to remove hard water minerals before they reach fixtures. This reduces cartridge failures, extends faucet life, and improves water quality.

**Georgetown Homeowner Tip:** If you live in Georgetown and have hard water stains, low flow from faucets, or frequent repairs, a water softener is a game-changer. We can diagnose hard water issues and recommend the right solution.

Our Faucet Repair & Installation Process

From diagnosis to cleanup, we handle every step professionally.

Step 1: Diagnosis

Describe the problem (dripping, low pressure, leak location). We ask about faucet age and any previous repairs to understand the full picture.

Step 2: On-Site Inspection

Our plumber examines the faucet, identifies the component failure, and checks water pressure. We explain repair vs. replacement options with upfront pricing. If replacement, we show style/finish options (chrome, brushed nickel, stainless, etc.).

Step 3: Repair or Replacement

**Repair:** We shut off water supply, disassemble the faucet, replace the failed component (washer, O-ring, cartridge, seal), reassemble, and test. Time: 30–45 minutes. **Replacement:** We disconnect the old faucet, prep the counter/sink, install the new faucet, caulk and connect, test, and cleanup. Time: 45 minutes to 1.5 hours. Disposal of old fixture included.

Step 4: Testing & Cleanup

Full test of water temperature, pressure, and flow. We check for leaks and proper seal. The area is cleaned and old parts are removed responsibly. Your faucet works like new—guaranteed.

Faucet & Fixture FAQs

Answers to common questions about faucet repair and replacement in Georgetown.

If it's under 15 years old and only one component is failing, repair is usually cheaper. If it's 20+ years old, has corroded finish, or repairs keep happening, replacement is often better. We can assess it during a free consultation.
In Georgetown's hard water, we recommend cleaning aerators every 3–6 months. Calcium buildup restricts water flow. You can do it yourself with a vinegar soak, or call us for $50–$75 professional cleaning.
Possibly. Mineral deposits inside old faucets restrict flow. A new faucet may improve pressure. However, if your whole house has low pressure, the issue is elsewhere (water softener can help). We'll diagnose it.
Brushed finishes (brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze) hide hard water spots better than shiny chrome. Stainless steel is also popular and very durable. We'll recommend finishes based on your fixtures and lifestyle.
