Faucet repair in Huntsville

A dripping faucet wastes water all day and night, and a leak under the sink can rot the cabinet floor before anyone notices. Most faucet problems are a short repair.

Faucet repair in Huntsville kitchens and baths

Nearly every modern faucet runs on a cartridge or a set of washers and seals. When those wear, the faucet drips, the handle gets stiff, or water leaks around the base. We identify the faucet and replace the worn parts with ones made for it.

Low pressure at a single faucet usually points to a clogged aerator or cartridge, not a problem with the house. Hard water leaves scale in both, and cleaning or replacing them brings the flow back.

Faucet installation and replacement

When a faucet is past saving, or you want a new look, we install the replacement. Kitchen faucets with pull-down sprayers, bathroom widespread and single-hole faucets, and tub fillers are all everyday work. We fit new supply lines with each install, because the old braided or copper lines are often due for replacement too.

If you’re redoing the whole room, bathroom remodel plumbing moves the drains and sets the new valve and fixtures.

Outdoor spigot repair after a freeze

North Alabama gets a few hard freezes most winters. When water left in an outdoor spigot freezes, it splits the spigot or the pipe just inside the wall. You often don’t find out until spring, when you turn on the hose and water runs into the crawl space or the wall.

We replace the damaged spigot and the split section of pipe. A frost-free spigot keeps the valve inside the warm part of the wall, which makes a repeat much less likely.

Leaks under the kitchen sink

The cabinet under a kitchen sink holds more connections than any other spot in the house. The faucet supply lines, the shut-off valves, the drain trap, the disposal and the dishwasher hose all meet there. A slow drip from any of them soaks the cabinet floor and swells the particle board before anyone opens the door.

We dry the area, run each connection one at a time, and find which one is leaking. Loose slip nuts on the trap are a quick fix. A cracked supply line or a leaking faucet base means a new part.

Shut-off valves under the sink

The small valves under your sink are there so you can shut off water to one faucet. After years of sitting still, many won’t turn or start leaking when they do. We replace them during faucet work. If water is leaking under a sink and you can’t find the source, a failing valve or supply line is often it. For clogs rather than leaks, drain cleaning is the right call.
