FAQs
What are the most common causes of a leaky faucet in Bean Station homes?
Most leaks are caused by worn-out washers, O-rings, or cartridges inside the faucet body. Hard water minerals common in the Bean Station area can accelerate wear and cause seals to crack or corrode. High water pressure and age-related metal fatigue are other frequent culprits.
Can I shut off the water to just the faucet, or do I need to shut off the whole house?
Nearly all kitchen and bath faucets have small shut-off valves (angle stops) on the hot and cold supply lines under the sink. Turn these clockwise to stop water to the faucet only. If the valves are stuck or missing, use the main shut-off—usually located near the water meter or where the main line enters your Bean Station home.
Is it better to repair or replace a leaky faucet?
If the faucet is less than 10 years old and replacement parts are available, a repair (new cartridge, washer, or O-ring) is usually economical. If the finish is worn, parts are discontinued, or the faucet is older than 15 years, replacement often costs about the same as a full rebuild but comes with a new warranty and improved water efficiency.
How much does it cost to fix a leaking faucet in Bean Station?
Typical professional repair costs range from $90 to $180, depending on faucet style and parts required. Replacing the entire faucet generally falls between $180 and $350, including a mid-grade fixture and labor. We provide free upfront estimates to avoid surprises.
How quickly can a plumber get my leak fixed?
For Bean Station residents, we offer same-day service on calls received before 2 p.m. Most repairs take 30–60 minutes once we’re on site. If a replacement faucet is needed and you already have the fixture, installation is usually completed within 90 minutes.
Can I repair a dripping faucet myself, or should I hire a plumber?
DIY is possible if you’re comfortable shutting off water, disassembling the faucet, and matching replacement parts. However, many homeowners end up with stripped screws or mismatched cartridges, leading to bigger problems. Hiring a licensed Bean Station plumber ensures correct parts, prevents damage to expensive fixtures, and comes with a workmanship guarantee.
