• Cartridge and washer swaps. The parts inside the handle that wear out and cause drips.
• Aerator cleaning. The small screen at the spout that clogs with mineral grit.
• New faucet installs. Kitchen, bath and laundry faucets, yours or ours.
• Sink drain and P trap repair. Leaky slip nuts, rusted metal traps and cracked tailpieces.
• New shutoff valves and supply lines. Quarter turn valves and braided lines under the sink.
• Kitchen sprayers. Side sprays and pull down hoses that leak or lose pressure. Worn hoses often drip inside the cabinet where nobody sees it.
• Bathroom pop ups. Drain stoppers that will not hold water or will not open.

• Mineral scale. Minerals in the water clog aerators and wear cartridges, so drips and weak flow show up sooner.
• Frozen old shutoffs. Older homes often have multi turn valves under sinks that have not moved in years and can snap when turned.
• Metal drain traps. Old chrome and steel traps rust through from the inside and start to drip into the cabinet.
• Rentals. Tenants may live with a drip for months, and the landlord pays the water bill.
• Odd old sizes. Some vintage sinks have unusual hole spacing, so the plumber checks the deck before you buy a new faucet.

• Dripping faucet repair for kitchen, bath and laundry taps.
• Leaking handles that drip from the base when the water runs.
• Low water pressure in one faucet, usually a clogged aerator or cartridge.
• Sink drain leak repair at the trap, tailpiece or basket strainer.
• Broken sprayers and pull down hoses.
• Stuck shutoffs that will not close.
• Loose faucets that wobble on the sink deck.
