Faucet Repair & Installation in Richardson, TX
Drips that will not stop after a new cartridge. Kitchen faucet that swivels loose at the base. Angle stops seized shut so you cannot isolate the sink. We handle every residential faucet call in Richardson — rebuilds, replacements, and the shutoffs behind them — with parts stocked for Richardson's hard water and the fixtures found in Canyon Creek and Cottonwood Heights.
Richardson's Hard Water Is Why Your Faucet Failed
City of Richardson pulls from Dallas Water Utilities and NTMWD — 7-10 grain hardness that steadily wears fixtures. That mineral load is what eats the ceramic discs inside Delta, Moen, and Kohler cartridges within 5-7 years, why aerators clog every few months, and why the pop-up drain assembly fuses to the tailpiece. A new cartridge is often the fix, but the diagnosis has to come first — a leaking base is a different problem than a leaking spout, and we treat them as such.
Older Richardson homes still have compression-style stem faucets from the 70s and 80s. Parts are still available, but the seats often need to be re-cut, not just re-washered, and the angle stops feeding them are typically the original multi-turn valves — seized shut when you actually need them. We bring quarter-turn replacement stops on every faucet call and swap them at the same visit if yours will not close.
For full replacements we carry pull-down kitchen faucets, widespread and centerset bathroom sets, and freestanding tub fillers from the brands that hold up in Richardson water. If you have already bought the fixture, no problem — we install customer-supplied faucets with the same one-year labor warranty on our work.
Signs Your Richardson Faucet Needs Service
A slow drip wastes ~3,000 gallons a year at Richardson water rates. Most of these are one-visit fixes.
Constant drip from the spout means a failed cartridge or a scored seat. On hard-water Richardson homes, both wear together.
Too much play or a handle that fights back is a cartridge or stem issue — not the handle screw. Common on 5-10 year old Moen and Delta.
Low pressure at only the kitchen or one bath usually means a clogged aerator, a partially closed angle stop, or scale buildup in the supply.
A pressure-balance or thermostatic cartridge failing on the hot side. Especially common in tub/shower valves — an easy fix if caught early.
Water pooling at the base, not from the spout, means a failed O-ring on the swivel or a cracked deck plate. Different fix than a spout drip.
A faucet that wobbles at the deck has a failed mounting nut or a rotted-out backer washer. Left alone, it stresses the supply lines under the sink.
Diagnose, Quote, Fix, Test — in One Visit
Most faucet calls in Richardson are one-visit jobs. We diagnose first, then quote before any wrench turns.
- 1Diagnose the actual failure
A drip from the spout, a leak from the base, and a stiff handle are three different repairs. We isolate the failure — cartridge, seat, O-ring, or shutoff — before quoting.
- 2Check the angle stops
Every faucet call includes testing the shutoffs under the sink. If they will not close cleanly, we quote quarter-turn replacements at the same visit so you never lose the ability to isolate the fixture.
- 3Give you a written price
Upfront pricing before we start. Cartridge rebuilds, full replacements, and shutoff swaps are line-itemed so you see exactly what each part costs.
- 4Do the work with stocked parts
Genuine Delta, Moen, Kohler, and Pfister cartridges on the truck. For customer-supplied fixtures, we verify what you have before pulling the old one so you are not left without a working sink.
- 5Pressure test and clean up
Run the faucet at full flow hot and cold, check every joint under the sink with a paper towel, clean up the workspace, and walk you through the fix before we go.
