FAQs
What are the most common reasons a faucet starts leaking?
In Speedwell homes we typically see worn-out rubber washers or O-rings, corroded valve seats, mineral build-up on cartridge assemblies, and loose parts from everyday use. High water pressure can also force water past aging seals. Identifying the exact cause is the first step we take before recommending a repair or replacement.
Can a small drip really affect my water bill?
Yes. A faucet that drips once per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons of water a year—enough to noticeably increase the average Speedwell household’s utility bill. Fixing the leak promptly protects both your wallet and the environment.
Is it safe to fix a leaky faucet myself or should I call a plumber?
If you’re comfortable shutting off the water supply and have the correct replacement parts, simple washer or cartridge swaps can be a DIY task. However, faucets with corroded seats, seized components, or hidden supply-line issues require specialized tools and experience. Calling our licensed Speedwell plumbers ensures the problem is diagnosed correctly and prevents accidental damage that could lead to costlier repairs.
How quickly can your team get to my Speedwell home?
We offer same-day service for leaky faucets within the Speedwell area. When you call before noon, one of our technicians is usually dispatched within a 2-hour window. Emergency service is available 24/7 for leaks that threaten water damage.
Do your plumbers carry replacement parts, or will I need to order them separately?
Our service vans are stocked with a full range of washers, cartridges, O-rings, aerators, and supply lines for all major faucet brands. In most cases we can complete the repair in a single visit. If your faucet requires a specialty part, we can source it quickly through local Speedwell suppliers or recommend a compatible replacement fixture.
What does a typical leaky faucet repair cost in Speedwell?
Pricing depends on the faucet type and the parts needed, but most repairs fall between $95 and $180, including labor and standard components. We provide a flat-rate quote after inspection, so you know the exact cost before any work begins. Replacing an outdated or heavily corroded faucet may cost more, but we always discuss options to fit your budget.
