FAQs
What are the most common reasons a faucet starts leaking in Grandview homes?
In Grandview, we see leaks most often caused by worn-out rubber washers or O-rings, mineral buildup from our moderately hard municipal water, and cartridge or valve seat corrosion. Seasonal temperature swings can also expand and contract metal parts, loosening seals over time. A quick inspection by a licensed plumber can pinpoint which component has failed and prevent additional damage.
How much water (and money) can a leaky faucet waste?
A faucet that drips once per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons of water a year—enough to take roughly 180 showers. On Grandview’s current water rates, that can add $40–$60 to your annual utility bill. If the leak worsens to a steady trickle, costs rise quickly and may lead to hidden moisture damage in cabinets or walls.
Can I fix a leaking faucet myself, or should I call a professional plumber?
Simple washer or O-ring replacements are DIY-friendly if you’re comfortable shutting off water and using basic tools. However, if the faucet is a modern cartridge, disc, or ball type—or if you see corrosion, stripped threads, or can’t locate the shutoff valve—calling a licensed Grandview plumber saves time and prevents costly mistakes. Professional service also preserves any manufacturer warranties on specialty faucets.
How long does a typical faucet repair take?
Most standard repairs take 30–60 minutes once the plumber is on site. Tasks include shutting off water, disassembling the faucet, replacing worn parts, and testing for leaks. If parts are uncommon or the faucet is an older model, additional time may be needed to source components. We stock the majority of cartridges and seals common to Grandview homes to keep visits efficient.
Will I need to replace my faucet, or can it usually be repaired?
About 80% of leaking faucets we examine can be repaired cost-effectively. Replacement is recommended when there is significant body corrosion, cracked handles, obsolete internal parts, or when repair costs approach the price of a new, water-efficient model. During our visit we’ll provide both repair and replacement estimates so you can decide what best meets your budget and style preferences.
