A drip wastes more water than it looks like, and a shower valve that leaks inside the wall is a leak you won't see until the ceiling below stains.

Bring your own fixture or have the plumber supply one; you'll hear before install if a fixture you picked won't fit your valve or sink.

Faucet & Fixture Repair: common questions

Should I repair or replace a leaking faucet?

Quality faucets are usually worth repairing with a new cartridge. Replace when parts aren't available, the finish is failing, or the body itself is cracked.

Why is my faucet dripping?

A worn cartridge, washer or valve seat inside the faucet no longer seals fully. Replacing the cartridge or seals stops most drips.

Why is my faucet water pressure low?

Low pressure at one faucet is usually a clogged aerator or a worn cartridge. Unscrew and rinse the aerator first; if pressure is still low, the cartridge or supply line needs attention.

Can I install a faucet I bought myself?

Yes. Most plumbers will install a customer-supplied faucet; it helps to confirm beforehand that it fits the sink's hole configuration and the existing shutoff valves.

Why does my faucet still drip after I replaced the washer?

Most modern faucets use cartridges or ceramic discs rather than washers. A worn cartridge or damaged seat causes drips; the fix depends on the faucet brand and model.

Should I replace the supply lines when I replace a faucet?

Usually. Braided stainless supply lines are inexpensive and less likely to burst than old plastic lines.
