Repair or Replace? A Homeowner's Guide to Faucets and Fixtures

A faucet dripping once per second wastes over 3,000 gallons of water a year. Beyond the water bill, slow leaks under sinks rot cabinets, stain ceilings below, and invite mold. Fixing a drip is one of the cheapest plumbing calls you can make.

The fixture is less than 10 years old and parts are available.

The problem is a worn cartridge, O-ring, or aerator — inexpensive parts.

You like the fixture and it matches your kitchen or bath.

The finish is corroded or the valve body is worn.

You've repaired the same faucet more than once.

You want water-saving features — modern fixtures can cut usage 30% with no loss of pressure.

We carry and install quality fixtures for every budget, and we'll tell you honestly which option makes sense for your situation.
