Types of Faucets

Different faucet designs require different repair methods.

Compression Faucets

Compression faucets feature separate hot and cold handles and use rubber washers to control water flow.

Ball Faucets

Ball faucets use a single lever handle that controls both water temperature and flow.

Cartridge Faucets

Cartridge faucets use one or two handles with an internal cartridge that regulates water flow and temperature.

Ceramic Disc Faucets

Ceramic disc faucets are known for their durability and long service life, using ceramic discs instead of traditional washers.

Typical Faucet Repair Process

1. Identify the Faucet Type

The first step is determining the faucet design so the proper replacement parts can be selected.

2. Shut Off the Water Supply

The water supply valves beneath the sink are turned off before any repair work begins.

3. Remove the Faucet Handle

The handle is carefully removed to access the internal components.

4. Inspect Internal Components

Common components inspected include:

  • Cartridges
  • O-rings
  • Washers
  • Valve seats
  • Springs
  • Seals

5. Replace Worn Parts

Damaged or worn components are replaced using manufacturer-compatible parts whenever possible.

6. Clean & Reassemble

Mineral buildup and debris are cleaned from the faucet before it is carefully reassembled.

7. Test the Faucet

The water supply is restored and the faucet is tested to ensure proper operation and verify that all leaks have been eliminated.

Helpful Faucet Maintenance Tips

Proper maintenance can help extend the life of your faucet.

  • Clean mineral buildup regularly.
  • Avoid overtightening faucet handles.
  • Replace worn washers and cartridges promptly.
  • Use sink strainers to reduce debris entering the plumbing system.
  • Address small leaks before they become larger problems.
