Trusted Faucet Repair in Williamsville, NY

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.

An unusual smell or taste at the faucet is rarely a faucet problem — it's more likely related to the water supply, corroded pipes, or a deteriorated rubber component inside the faucet. Old rubber washers and seals can degrade and leach a rubbery taste into the water. We inspect the internal faucet components and advise on next steps including aerator replacement or contacting your water utility.

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.

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.
