Faucet repair & installation

Quick fix or full replacement? Enjoy healthier faucet care for your SnoCo home

A dripping faucet isn’t just annoying—it’s a mold party waiting to happen. Throw in mineral buildup and mystery gunk, and your water might be doing more harm than good to your skin and hair. Hazmat suit, anyone?
WHAT CAN HAPPEN

Many homeowners make the mistake of cranking handles tighter to “fix” leaks. But it only grinds metal on metal, destroying internal components and making simple repairs impossible. High water pressure and chemicals silently damage your fixtures, shortening their lifespan dramatically.

We help protect your health and home. Licensed techs arrive ready to repair most faucets on the spot. We inspect for hidden threats to catch pressure issues and chemical wear early. This prevents mold, rot, or premature failures. Plus expert guidance on how to lower your lifetime cost of ownership.

Turning the knob tighter doesn't mean better. The real problem may be a weak seal. Turning it harder may break the stem in the faucet or scratch the seats, creating more expensive issues.

CUSTOMER STORY

Bathroom faucet breakdown? Fixed in Lake Stevens without burning a Bridge (or wallet)

A new customer asked us about a special Bridge faucet that had a hose burst. It’s a potentially expensive repair for a high-end fixture.

Rather than recommending a complete replacement, our team took detailed photos of the faucet, researched the exact model, and located the specific replacement hose the customer needed.

We guided them to purchase the part directly, saving them significant money.

Afterward, we performed a professional installation. It was the best deal for the customer. Later, we helped them install a garbage disposal, too.

Straightforward solutions are better than upselling. It’s one of the ways we can make Snohomish County a healthier place to live.

Old faucets lasted decades. Today’s faucets are made to fail. So plan ahead with replacement parts. Or you’ll just pay more later.

Headed for faucet failure? Shout if you see these red flags

Faucet drips after you turn it off? Worn internal components may be ready to fail, with potential water damage to cabinets and flooring.

Are knobs/handles too stiff or suspiciously loose? Stiff suggests mineral buildup that can lead to valve failure. Loose handles indicate worn components that are lessening their grip on your water flow.

Any moisture or puddles near the faucet base or under the sink? Moisture + heat are the perfect conditions for mold, bacteria and rot.

Hear strange squeaking noises or hammering sounds? Worn parts are likely, but the pounding is a dangerous pressure fluctuation that can damage your entire plumbing system—and burst pipes.

Got mineral buildup or rust on the faucet surface? White or greenish crust is usually hard water (calcium, lime, magnesium). It shortens the service life of your fixtures and appliances. Orange-brown rust is corrosion. It looks bad, tastes bad and alarms your guests.

Water hammer is basically the effect of a wave that gets shot through your pipes or fixtures, caused by high force. Usually from high water pressure.

Faucet FAQs

How do I know if my faucet needs repair or replacement?

Less than 8 years old with only a single issue? Repair it. Multiple problems or pushing over a decade? Time for a new one. Think of it like car repair: Sometimes changing the oil is enough, but eventually that 1995 Corolla needs to go to the great junkyard in the sky.

What brands of faucets do you recommend?

Most modern faucets are distant cousins from the same overseas factory. Focus on available replacement parts, solid brass components, and how it feels in your hand. For outdoor use, Arrowhead or Prior brands won’t let you down. Heavy gardener? Consider a yard hydrant—it’s like upgrading from a water pistol to a fire hose.

What is water hammer, and why is it damaging my faucets?

Water hammer is your pipes’ way of throwing a tantrum when water flow stops suddenly. This pressure wave can wreak havoc. If your pipes sound like they’re auditioning for a percussion section, we install specialized arresters. Think of them as tiny shock absorbers for your plumbing’s feelings.

How can I extend the life of my faucets?

Hard water is your enemy. Address water quality issues first. Then maintain proper pressure (below 80 PSI) and be gentle with fixtures. Kitchen sprayers aren’t bungee cords—treat them with respect. Regular inspections can add years to your fixtures’ lives. Pro tip: Buying a new faucet? Get spare parts at the same time. it’s like having a spare tire before you get a flat.
