Faucet & Sink Repair in Kent, WA
A dripping faucet wastes more water than most people realize, and it's usually a quick, inexpensive fix rather than something to live with.
Fixing Drips, Leaks, And Worn Fixtures
Most faucet drips come down to a worn cartridge, O-ring, or valve seat, all inexpensive parts that resolve the problem completely once replaced. A faucet that's leaking at the base, rather than the spout, usually points to a different seal that's failed and needs replacing.
Sink repairs cover a wider range, from a slow drain at the fixture itself to a loose or cracked basin. We diagnose the actual issue rather than assuming a full fixture replacement is needed when a part swap will do.
Signs Your Faucet Or Sink Needs Attention
Constant Dripping
A worn cartridge or O-ring is the most common cause, and it's usually a straightforward repair.
Leaking At The Base
Water pooling around the base of the faucet, rather than dripping from the spout, points to a different seal needing replacement.
Low Or Inconsistent Water Flow
A clogged aerator or a failing cartridge can both cause weak or sputtering flow.
Loose Or Wobbly Faucet
A faucet that moves at the base often has loose mounting hardware that's straightforward to tighten or replace.
Repair Or Replacement
For most drips and leaks, we identify and replace the specific worn part, cartridge, O-ring, or valve seat, rather than replacing the whole fixture. This keeps the cost down when a full replacement genuinely isn't needed.
When a fixture is old enough that parts are hard to source, or the finish is failing along with the internals, we'll walk you through replacement options that genuinely fit your sink's existing setup and layout.
A clogged aerator is genuinely worth checking before assuming a bigger problem exists. Mineral and debris buildup inside the small screen at a faucet's tip can cause weak or sputtering flow that looks like a cartridge failure but is actually a five-minute cleaning fix. We check this first on any low-flow complaint before recommending any parts replacement.

What Affects The Price
Free written estimates on non-emergency calls; emergency work gets an upfront price before anything starts. Faucet and sink repair is a standard maintenance cost, not typically covered by homeowners insurance.
Common Questions
Tightening the handle doesn't fix a worn cartridge or O-ring, which is almost always the actual cause of a persistent drip.
In many cases, yes, or we can help you choose a compatible replacement if the exact part isn't available anymore.
Yes. A slow drip adds up in wasted water and utility cost over time, and it's usually an inexpensive fix.
Yes, we handle faucet and sink repair throughout the house.
A basic cartridge swap is sometimes a reasonable DIY job, but a misdiagnosed leak or a stripped fitting can turn a small repair into a bigger one, so we're happy to take a look first if you're unsure.
A partial buildup of soap scum, hair, or grease inside the trap is the most common cause, and it usually clears with a straightforward cleaning rather than a full drain service.
Yes, though sensor and battery components sometimes need parts specific to that model, which we'll confirm before starting the repair.
