Faucet Repair & Installation in Addison, TX
A drip that returned a few days after a cartridge swap. A kitchen faucet that rocks where it meets the counter. Shutoffs under the sink that will not budge exactly when you need them to. We take care of every faucet call across Addison, choosing parts with the town's mineral-heavy water in mind.
The Mineral Content in Addison's Tap Water Is the Root Cause
Addison buys its treated supply from Dallas Water Utilities, and the town's own reporting puts hardness at roughly 150 to 164 milligrams per liter — call it 9 grains per gallon, on the moderately hard to hard side of the scale. That mineral load is what scores ceramic discs inside a cartridge over the years, chokes an aerator screen faster than a soft-water town would, and eventually fuses a pop-up assembly to its tailpiece. Swapping the cartridge often stops the drip, but figuring out which part actually failed matters more than the swap itself — a base leak and a spout leak are not the same repair.
The building type shifts what we typically find. Newer mid-rise units around Addison Circle and Vitruvian Park mostly carry pull-down kitchen faucets and widespread bath sets installed within the last couple of decades, so failures there tend to be one worn part rather than the whole fixture. The smaller pocket of detached homes near Addison Place, Bellbrook Estates, and the Surveyor Boulevard area more often still has compression-stem faucets from the 1980s and 1990s, fed by the same era's multi-turn angle stops — which is exactly the kind of shutoff that has seized from mineral buildup by the time you actually need to close it.
For a full swap we bring pull-down kitchen faucets, widespread and centerset bath sets, and tub fillers chosen to hold up against Addison's water chemistry. Already bought the faucet yourself? We will put it in — our labor is warrantied the same either way.
What an Addison Faucet Tells You Before It Fails Fully
A dripping faucet adds up to real wasted water across a year. Nearly everything on this list is a same-visit repair.
Water dripping steadily from the spout points to a scored valve seat or a cartridge that has already failed once and is failing again — both wear together on harder water.
Extra play, or resistance that was not there before, is usually the cartridge or stem itself rather than a loose screw. Shows up most around the five-to-ten-year mark on a fixture.
Weak flow limited to a single sink usually traces to a clogged aerator, a shutoff that is not fully open, or scale narrowing that fixture's supply line specifically.
A pressure-balance or thermostatic cartridge starting to fail on the hot side — common in tub and shower valves, and a straightforward fix while it is still new.
Water collecting at the base rather than dripping from the spout usually means a worn O-ring on the swivel or a cracked deck plate — a different job than a spout drip.
Movement where the faucet meets the counter means the mounting nut has loosened or the backer washer has worn through, and it keeps stressing the supply lines below until it is fixed.
Find the Failure, Quote It, Fix It, Prove It
Nearly every faucet call in Addison wraps up in one trip — we diagnose first and price it before any part comes off.
- 1Pin down the actual failure
A spout drip, a base leak, and a stiff handle each need a different fix. We isolate which part is actually responsible — cartridge, seat, O-ring, or shutoff — before naming a price.
- 2Check every shutoff under the sink
Standard on every visit. Original multi-turn stops in Addison's older homes tend to seize from years of mineral exposure, and we flag a quarter-turn swap right then if yours will not close cleanly.
- 3Put the price in writing first
Cost depends on the fixture, the parts involved, and how much of the supply hardware needs attention — you see it broken out before we start turning anything.
- 4Work from stocked, name-brand parts
Cartridges for the common residential brands ride on the truck. For a customer-supplied fixture, we confirm it matches your sink before removing the old one so you are not left without water at that sink.
- 5Run it hot and cold, then walk you through it
Full flow test both temperatures, every joint under the cabinet checked dry with a paper towel, and a quick explanation of what changed before we head out.
What a Faucet Call Usually Involves, by Part of Addison
Building age and type tell us more than the fixture brand does.
Built out through the 2010s, this is Addison's newest sizable residential stock, mostly current pull-down kitchen and thermostatic bath hardware. A call here is nearly always a single worn part rather than a fixture that needs replacing outright.
One of the town's small pocket of detached single-family homes, near the airport. Fixture ages here run the normal spread of an established subdivision, without a shared building's plumbing complicating things.
Larger custom homes from around 1990 often still carry their original bath hardware. At three-plus decades of exposure to Addison's mineral-heavy supply, a hot-side cartridge giving out is a typical repair we walk into here.
Homes and duplexes from around the early 1980s in this stretch of town still commonly run original compression-stem faucets. The seats usually need to be recut rather than just re-washered, and the feed stops are almost always the original seized multi-turn valves.
Garden-style apartment buildings line this corridor. Shared supply chases in some of the older buildings mean a faucet call occasionally involves checking a neighboring unit's shutoff too.
A handful of 1970s and 80s vintage garden apartments that predate the Vitruvian Park redevelopment are still standing. Builder-grade faucets from that era are long past a reasonable service life, and a full swap generally beats another rebuild.
What Addison Homeowners Say
Right the First Trip, Not the Second
Cartridges for the major residential brands live on every truck, alongside quarter-turn shutoffs, braided supply lines, and pop-up drain hardware. That keeps almost every Addison faucet call to a single visit instead of a parts run mid-job or a sink left in pieces overnight.

We are licensed by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners, insured, and family-owned, dispatching from The Colony and covering Addison every day, same-day for an active drip or a shutoff that will not close.
