Faucet Repair and Replacement in Burlington

A dripping faucet is usually a worn cartridge or washer, not a ruined fixture. Sometimes a repair is a ten-minute job; sometimes the faucet has earned replacement.

Signs your faucet needs work

  • A steady drip from the spout after it is closed.
  • Water leaking from under the handle or around the base.
  • Low flow, often from scale in the aerator or cartridge.
  • A handle that is stiff or turns too far.
  • Water pooling inside the cabinet under the sink.

What's included

  • Basin wrench and supply lines
  • Wax rings and closet bolts
  • Cartridges and stems for common brands
  • Silicone and plumber’s putty

Our work on site, in order

We close the shut-offs under the sink, pull the handle and remove the cartridge, valve stem or ceramic disc. Hard water scale and worn rubber seals are the usual culprits. If the manufacturer is known and parts are available, a new cartridge and seals often bring the faucet back to new. Aerators get cleaned or replaced. If the body is cracked or corroded, or parts are discontinued, we replace the faucet: remove the old one, scrub the counter, mount the replacement on new braided supplies, then test for leaks above and below the counter. Seized shut-off valves under the sink are swapped for quarter-turn valves at the same visit.

Quick check: unscrew the aerator at the tip of the spout. A ring of white grit there is lake-water scale, and cleaning it often restores flow.

Tell-tale signs

  • A toilet that runs, rocks or leaks at the base
  • A faucet that drips with the handle off
  • A shower that turns scalding or cold mid-rinse
  • A sink trap that weeps into the cabinet

What makes the job bigger or smaller

Brand and age. Major brands keep cartridges available for years, while unbranded faucets often have no parts at all. Wall-mounted faucets and tub spouts reach into the wall. Undermount sinks and stone counters make removal tighter. A kitchen faucet with a pull-down hose may need a new hose rather than a new faucet.

Burlington homes and this job

Burlington's lake water is moderately hard, so scale builds in cartridges and aerators across the city. Homes on wells in Kilbride and Lowville may have harder water still, and more mineral build-up. A water softener extends faucet life. Garden taps are covered separately on outdoor faucet repair.

Worth asking your plumber

  • Can this faucet be repaired or should it be replaced?
  • Are the shut-offs under the sink working?
  • Will the new faucet fit the existing holes?
  • Is the drain under the sink in good shape too?

Questions we hear

Is a drip worth fixing?

Yes. A steady drip wastes water around the clock and usually gets worse.

Can I supply my own faucet?

Yes, provided it matches the hole count drilled in your sink or countertop.

Why is only the hot side slow?

Often scale from the water heater has lodged in the hot side of the cartridge.
