A dripping faucet might seem like a small problem, but don’t let the slow drip fool you, a faucet that leaks just once per second can waste over 3,000 gallons of water a year, and that shows up directly on your water bill.

Faucet issues show up in all kinds of ways: a handle that won’t fully shut off the water, a base that’s pooling water on the counter, inconsistent hot and cold mixing, or that maddening drip that echoes through the house at night. Most faucet problems come down to worn internal components,  cartridges, washers, O-rings, or valve seats, that degrade over time with regular use.

The good news is that a skilled plumber can usually diagnose and fix the issue quickly, often without replacing the entire fixture. When you search for faucet repair in Columbus, you want someone who knows their way around all types and brands of faucets, kitchen, bathroom, outdoo, and can give you a straight answer on whether a repair will do the job or whether it’s time for an upgrade.

What is the most common cause of a dripping faucet?

The most common culprit is a worn or broken cartridge, the internal component inside the faucet handle that controls the flow and stop of water. Over time, especially in areas with hard water, cartridges break down and lose their ability to form a proper seal. Other common causes include worn washers, deteriorated O-rings, or a damaged valve seat. A plumber can quickly identify which part has failed and replace it without touching the rest of the faucet.

Why is my faucet leaking from the base?

A leak at the base of a faucet, where it meets the countertop or sink, usually points to a damaged cartridge assembly allowing water to bypass the faucet body, a pinhole leak in the pull-out sprayer hose, or worn O-rings around the faucet body itself. If the leak is coming specifically from underneath the base and not from the handles or sprayer, it may indicate internal damage to the faucet body that makes replacement the more sensible option. A plumber can quickly tell you which situation you’re dealing with.

Can I just repair my faucet or do I need to replace it entirely?

In most cases, repair is the right move, especially if the faucet is a quality brand like Moen, Delta, Kohler, or American Standard, since replacement parts are readily available and easy to source. Repair makes less sense when the faucet is off-brand or very old (making parts hard to find), when the faucet body itself is cracked or corroded, or when multiple components are failing at the same time. A good plumber will give you an honest assessment rather than defaulting to the more expensive option.

How long does a faucet repair typically take?

For a straightforward repair, like replacing a cartridge or washer, a professional plumber can usually get it done in under an hour. Kitchen faucet replacements typically take around 45 minutes as well, assuming there are no complications like heavy calcium or mineral buildup around the connections. More complex repairs, like dealing with corroded supply lines or significant buildup from years of hard water, can take a bit longer.

Why does my faucet have low water pressure even when fully open?

Low pressure at a single faucet is almost always caused by a clogged aerator, the small mesh screen at the tip of the faucet spout. Mineral deposits and sediment build up in it over time and restrict flow. In many cases, simply cleaning or replacing the aerator solves the problem entirely. If that doesn’t fix it, the issue may lie with the supply line, a partially closed shut-off valve under the sink, or something further in the plumbing system. A plumber in {city} can track down the root cause fast.

Is a dripping faucet something I should fix right away or can it wait?

It’s worth fixing sooner rather than later. Beyond the obvious water waste and higher bills, a dripping faucet often signals a component that’s actively wearing down, and the longer it’s left, the more damage it can do to surrounding parts. What starts as a simple cartridge replacement can turn into a full faucet replacement if ignored long enough. It’s also one of the more affordable plumbing repairs, so there’s really no good reason to put it off.

Does faucet brand matter when getting a repair done?

It does, more than most people realize. Well-known brands like Moen, Delta, Kohler, and American Standard use standardized parts that plumbers can easily source and replace. Off-brand or contractor-grade faucets often have proprietary or hard-to-find components, which can make repairs more complicated or expensive,  and sometimes impossible without replacing the whole unit. If you’re installing a new faucet, investing in a reputable brand pays off in the long run with easier and cheaper repairs down the line.

Joel and his team went above and beyond to make sure they helped us fix the gas leak. Joel is a man of his word and came through on his promise.

Very expensive. Make sure you establish the price up front. They did some work on gas pipes, which was specialized so the prices weren't so horrible.

They never called my property manager, or myself, to ask if they could do an additional estimate while at my property. I was shocked. Companies cannot go around doing estimates.
