Professional Scarborough Faucet Repair Services

Faucets have a huge impact on your daily life, yet they are often overlooked. From annoying drips to low water pressure, faucet issues can hamper your daily routine. Know about some common faucet issues that we fix for you:  

1. Leaky Faucets

If you see constant drips from the faucet, this is likely a leaky faucet issue. This is because of worn-out washers, o-rings, or faulty cartridges. Our plumbers can check the issue and replace the necessary parts to stop the leakage. 

Signs of a leaky faucet:

• Even if you turn off the spout, it still drips.
• Water is collecting around the base of the faucet. 
• High water utility bill

2. Low Water Pressure

If your faucet has improper flow, then it is because of calcium buildup, clogged aerators, or pipe issues. We clean and repair your faucet to restore water flow.  

Causes of low water pressure:

• Clogged aerator or cartridge.
• Corroded or damaged water lines.
• Problem with the main water supply.

3. Faucet Handle Issues

Broken or loose handles make it hard to turn off or off the water. We change damaged handles or cartridges to ensure smooth operation. 

Common handling problems:

• Loose or damaged handles.
• Stuck handles that won’t turn easily.
• Handles that turn but don’t control water flow properly.

4. Noisy Faucets

If you hear noisy faucets or whistling sounds, then there could be high water pressure, worn-out parts, or loose components. Our plumbers will check the issue and remove the weird noise. 

Types of faucet noises:

• Your pipes might make a weird noise if the water pressure is too high.
• When you turn off the faucet, you might hear a loud noise.
• If parts in your pipes are loose, you will hear rattling noises.

5. Water Leaks from the Base

If the water is pooling around your faucet’s bottom, the seal or gasket might be worn out. We can solve this issue in no time and stop the damage to your sink. 

Why base leaks happen:

• Old or broken rubber seals.
• Loose parts under the sink.
• Cracks in the faucet itself.

Fixing a leaky faucet isn’t too tough, but it depends on what kind of faucet you are dealing with. Here is how we usually handle it:

1. Turn Off Water Supply – The first thing we do is turn off the main water supply valve. These valves are usually under the sink. 
2. Disassemble the Faucet – We remove the faucet handle and other parts to access the internal workings.
3. Inspect and Replace Faulty Parts – We look for faulty parts and replace them that are causing leaks. It could be worn-out washers, O-rings, or cartridges. 
4. Clean and Reassemble – Before putting everything back, we clean any buildup inside the faucet, reassemble the parts, and test for leaks.
5. Test the Faucet – We turn on the main shut-off valve and see if the faucet is working properly.

Signs you need a new faucet:

• You have fixed leaks over and over, but they keep coming back.

When you choose regular maintenance, you can avoid costly repairs and extend the life of your faucet. With the help of some easy steps, you can keep your faucet working smoothly. Plus, you will also save water and cut down on waste.

Try these tips to make your faucet last longer:

• Clean the aerator: First, you should scrub the aerator at least once in 4-6 weeks. Stop clogging and keep it clean. 
• Check for Leaks: Look for leaks in the pipes or faucet and fix them. You should see any small drips and don’t avoid them. 
• Avoid Over-Tightening: You need to work with handles properly. If your handles are cracked, then they will leak. 
• Use a Water Softener: Choose a proper water softener. It will stop water from getting hard and keep your appliances safe by removing calcium buildup.
