Signs your faucet needs repair
A faucet usually gives you plenty of warning. Call us if you notice:
A drip may seem minor, but a faucet dripping once a second wastes a surprising amount of water over a year, and it usually only gets worse.
Why is my faucet dripping?
Most drips come from a small worn part inside the faucet. The usual causes are a worn washer, O-ring, or seal, a corroded valve seat, or a failing cartridge in a modern single-handle faucet. The good news is these are often affordable repairs, not a reason to replace the whole faucet. We identify the exact cause and fix it rather than guessing.
Common faucet problems we fix
We handle the full range of faucet issues on every type of faucet.
Dripping and leaking faucets
The most common call. We replace worn washers, O-rings, cartridges, and seals to stop the drip for good.
Low water pressure at the faucet
Often a clogged aerator or cartridge. On Hickory’s soft city water this is less about mineral scale than in hard-water areas, but debris and wear still cause it. We clear or replace the part.
Leaks under the sink
A leak at the supply lines or connections can quietly damage your cabinet. We fix the connection and check the shutoff valves while we are there.
Handle and cartridge problems
Loose, stiff, or broken handles and worn cartridges get repaired or replaced so the faucet works smoothly again.
Sprayer and diverter issues
We fix kitchen sprayers, pull-down heads, and diverters that leak or lose pressure.

Faucet installation and replacement
Sometimes a new faucet is the better move, either because the old one is worn out or because you are upgrading. We install:
We handle faucets you buy yourself or help you choose a quality, reliable model. A proper installation means no leaks, solid connections, and shutoff valves that actually work when you need them.
Should I repair or replace my faucet?
Honest guidance: if the faucet is decent quality and the problem is a worn internal part, repair is usually the smart, affordable choice. If the faucet is old, corroded, low quality, or you are repairing it repeatedly, replacement makes more sense, and it is a chance to upgrade to something you like. We tell you which fits rather than pushing a replacement.
Local factors for faucets in Hickory
- Soft city water. Hickory’s soft to moderately soft city water is gentler on faucet cartridges and aerators than hard water, so faucets here tend to have fewer scale problems. See does Hickory have hard water.
- Well water. On a private well, sediment and minerals can clog aerators and wear cartridges faster. Water treatment helps.
- Older homes. In the historic districts and older neighborhoods, older faucets and worn shutoff valves are common, and we often replace a seized shutoff along with the faucet.
- Outdoor faucets and freezes. Foothills winters mean hose bibs need to be freeze-safe. We install frost-proof faucets and can winterize them.

What does faucet repair or installation cost in Hickory?
A typical faucet repair often runs from around 100 dollars to a few hundred, depending on the parts and the faucet.
Faucet installation depends on the type of faucet and whether shutoff valves or supply lines also need work.
Replacing seized shutoff valves or corroded connections adds to the job but is often worth doing at the same time.
