Fix the Drip or Install a New Faucet
North Texas hard water can scale faucet cartridges and seals until the handle stiffens and the spout won’t stop dripping. A Service Squad plumber checks the cartridge and seals to learn why the faucet drips and whether it’s worth repairing. Same-day appointments may be available when you call before noon. Call (817) 518-3309 to weigh a repair against a new faucet.
What to Expect From Your Faucet Repair & Installation Visit
- We start by running the faucet hot and cold and checking the handle, spout, and base for leaks.
- The plumber then pulls the cartridge or stem to check its seals for wear and scale.
- You’ll see a repair price, plus an installed price for a new faucet if replacing makes more sense.
- We replace the worn parts or install the new faucet you chose, with new supply lines as needed.
- Hot and cold runs at full flow check for a steady spray and dry connections under the sink.
Service Squad Plumbing: Your Local Faucet Repair & Installation Team in Fort Worth
Our Squad has been locally owned and family operated since 2016, with offices in Fort Worth and Arlington. On a faucet job, that matters most after we leave. A faucet will likely need another cartridge or seal someday. When it does, you call a DFW company you already know, not a national franchise.
Faucet Repair & Installation FAQs
- Should I repair or replace an old faucet? Repair it if the body is sound and parts are still made for it. A cartridge or seal swap can fix many drips. If the body is corroded or cracked, a new faucet is usually the better value.
- Do I need new supply lines with a new faucet? Usually, yes. Old supply lines may not fit the new faucet’s connections. A fresh pair also costs little next to a leak under the cabinet.
- How long does faucet installation take in Fort Worth? A straight swap usually takes a couple of hours. Seized shutoff valves or corroded supply lines that need replacing can add time.
- How can I clean a clogged faucet aerator? Unscrew the aerator from the spout and soak it in white vinegar for an hour or two. Rinse the screen, scrub off loose scale with an old toothbrush, and screw it back on.
- What should I do before a faucet repair? Find the shutoff valves under the sink and close them to stop the drip in the meantime. If a valve won’t budge, don’t force it, since an old stem can crack and leak. Clearing out the cabinet also gives your plumber room to work.
Is It More Than a Worn-Out Faucet?
A new cartridge or faucet usually stops the drip, but some trouble starts somewhere else. When water still collects in the cabinet after the faucet is fixed, sink repair covers the trap and drain below it. If every faucet in the house runs weak, the next call is for water pressure services, not another faucet. Once scale has damaged several fixtures, softened water from a water softener installation can help protect the new faucet. Call (817) 518-3309 to plan the fix with your plumber.
Signs Your Faucet Needs Repair or Replacement
- The faucet drips after you turn it off.
- The handle feels stiff, loose, or gritty.
- Water pools around the base of the faucet.
- The spray comes out weak or sputters sideways.
- White crust builds up on the spout and aerator.
How Much Does Faucet Repair & Installation Cost in Fort Worth?
Faucet repair and installation in Fort Worth typically costs $150 to $650 at Service Squad. The biggest swing comes from repairing versus replacing. A new cartridge or set of seals is a short job near the low end. Installing a new faucet takes longer, since the old one comes off and the supply lines often get replaced too.
Our $79 diagnostic comes first, and you’ll see the price before any work begins. If a new faucet makes more sense than a repair, that $79 is credited toward the installation.
Common Faucet Problems We Fix in Fort Worth
A kitchen faucet opens and closes many times a day, and each turn wears its cartridge and seals. The faucet body usually outlasts those small parts. When they wear, the first sign is often a slow drip that gets a little worse each week.
Dripping Single-Handle Cartridges
A single-handle cartridge can wear out after years of daily use, especially once scale roughs up its seals. The spout keeps dripping after the handle is off. We match a new cartridge to your faucet or recommend a new faucet if the body is worn.
Scale-Clogged Aerator Screens
Mineral scale can collect on the small screen inside the aerator until water can’t pass freely. Spray turns weak, uneven, or sputtery. Your plumber cleans or replaces the aerator, then checks the cartridge for the same buildup.
Worn O-Rings at the Spout Base
The O-rings that seal a swivel spout can flatten after years of the spout moving side to side. Water seeps out around the base. New O-rings usually stop the seep, and the plumber recommends a new faucet if the body is cracked.
