Faucet Repair

A leaky faucet is the most common plumbing problem in San Diego, and throughout the country. That leak wastes water, and has the potential to get much worse while you’re away or asleep. Occasionally, people will take care of these repairs themselves, and you can find lots of instructions and videos on the web.

A faucet may start leaking due to seals or washers drying out, mechanical wear, corrosion, or the build up of deposits. The gist of all repairs is cleaning and replacing parts. As complicating factors there are usually handles, caps, hidden set screws, and more just to get to the parts that need attention. There are also many types of faucet mechanisms, and you may not know for sure what type you have until you’re well into your repair.

Faucet Repair

If you’re repairing cartridge, ball, or ceramic faucets you’ll be replacing O-ring seals and perhaps other parts. It’s critical that the replacement parts match exactly. For that reason, don’t forget to protect the drain, sink, and the faucet itself with a rag to prevent accidents and marring the surface. Or you can just call ASAP Drain Guys & Plumbing. Above all, we will be there quickly with all the necessary parts and tools, and with the skills to do the job right.

Compression

These are the oldest style, commonly encountered in bathroom faucet repair and laundry room sinks, and are in many ways the easiest to repair. However, access is easy and you only need to replace the rubber washer and add a little plumber’s grease. Sometimes it’s necessary to re-grind the valve seat to provide a good seal. This requires a special tool and a bit of skill. If done improperly it may be necessary to replace the faucet.

Cartridge

This mechanism is most common in shower faucet repair. Furthermore, repairs can be a bit tricky, and it’s not that much more expensive to simply replace the cartridge entirely.

Ball

This type is most commonly encountered in single-lever kitchen repairs. The mechanism has numerous parts, and it can be quite involved just getting to those that need replacing. It’s much easier to just use a replacement kit, but that still has numerous seals and springs to deal with.
