While a tiny little drip seems like something that should only require an easy fix, it can actually be a complicated job. A number of things can cause your faucet to leak. Before you can fix the faucet’s leak, you need to know what is causing the problem. Unlike pipes, the moving parts of a faucet can wear down more easily with time and they may need to be replaced, repaired, or tightened. When you call Roto-Rooter for licensed plumbers, they complete the following tasks:
- Determine what is causing the leak
- Quickly disassemble the faucet
- Supply any needed replacement parts
- Reassemble the faucet so that it’s better than new

Fortunately, Roto-Rooter is immersed in faucet repair experience. If you’re not sure what is causing the leak, a plumbing professional will come take a look at it and get to the source of the problem quickly. Once you know what is causing the tap to leak, the repair is simple and easy for a trained plumber. A plumber will also have access to all of the different moving parts that your faucet may need to have replaced. There is the handle, the nut, the stem, the washer, and possibly decorative caps. Sometimes leaks go deeper than the faucet itself, and if that’s the case, a plumber can fix that too.
What to Expect with Faucet Repairs
Several things will happen when a professional Roto-Rooter plumber comes to your house for a repair. While the plumber is fixing the faulty valve or leaky faucet, you will have to turn off the water. If there is a direct water line you can turn off for that faucet, that’s great. If not, you might have to turn off the water for the whole house. This can be an inconvenience, but it’s necessary for the plumber to repair the dripping faucet as quickly as possible so you can get your water turned back on. Feel free to ask the plumber questions when they come to assess your faucet; our professionals are happy to share their knowledge and will make sure that everything is fixed to your satisfaction.
