Trusted Faucet Repair in New Mexico

Yes. A faucet that won't fully shut off is usually caused by a worn washer, damaged cartridge, or corroded ball valve. This is a common repair that our plumbers handle regularly. We'll diagnose whether the issue is in the cartridge, O-rings, or the valve seat and provide the appropriate fix. In the meantime, you can turn off the shutoff valve under the sink to stop water flow.

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.

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.
