On your conventional compression type faucets, sometimes all it will take is some new washers and maybe the brass rings replaced. We will check the faucet and stem and show you the reason for the leak. We will determine which parts need replacing and you will understand why before we do the work for you. Sometimes the faucet will be so old and worn; it would be in your best interest to just get a new faucet. We will help you out their too suggesting various brands that would fit into your décor.
On your washerless faucet, it would be helpful if you had the brand name of the faucet when you call. That way we can try to have the replacement cartridge when we arrive. Typically the washerless faucet cartridges are not repairable and just need to be replaced.
