Trusted Faucet Repair in Lake Saint Clair, MO

A loose faucet handle is often caused by a worn set screw, a stripped handle nut, or a failing cartridge stem. While it may not cause an immediate leak, it will worsen over time and can eventually cause internal damage to the faucet mechanism. We can tighten or replace the necessary components quickly during a service visit.

Yes. We repair and replace all types of outdoor faucets including standard hose bibs, frost-free sillcocks, and anti-siphon vacuum breaker faucets. Common issues include freeze damage, dripping spouts, stuck shutoff valves, and backflow preventer failures. We also install new outdoor faucets with proper freeze protection.

If your faucet is dripping but not causing flooding, simply place a bucket underneath and note whether the leak is from the spout, the handle base, or the supply connections. If you have a severe leak, turn off the shutoff valve under the sink. Do not attempt to disassemble modern ceramic disc or cartridge faucets without the correct tools, as forcing them can cause further damage.

Banging noises — often called water hammer — occur when water flow is suddenly stopped, causing a pressure shockwave in the supply lines. This can be triggered by a faulty check valve, loose supply pipes, or failing cartridge. Repeated water hammer can damage pipes over time. We install water hammer arrestors and fix the underlying cause to permanently eliminate the noise.
