Trusted Faucet Repair in San Rafael, NM

A single-handle faucet has one lever or knob that controls both hot and cold water flow and temperature by moving side to side and up and down. A two-handle faucet has separate hot and cold controls. The type of faucet determines what type of cartridge, valve, or washer is used internally. Our plumbers work on both styles and carry parts for all common configurations.

If your faucet is dripping, leaking around the base, hard to turn, or losing pressure, a repair is usually possible and more cost-effective. However, if the faucet is severely corroded, the body is cracked, or it requires constant recurring repairs, replacement with a new model is the smarter long-term investment. Our plumbers provide an honest assessment before recommending any work.

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.

If your kitchen sprayer has weak pressure or the flow doesn't return to the main spout, the diverter valve is likely clogged or worn. The diverter directs water between the spout and the sprayer head. Mineral deposits commonly block this valve in areas with hard water. We clean or replace the diverter to restore proper sprayer and spout function.
