Why does my faucet keep dripping?

A worn-out cartridge, washer, or O-ring is almost always the culprit. These parts create the seal when you turn the handle off, and once they harden or split, water starts leaking through. We'll replace the worn internal parts rather than selling you an entire new fixture if the faucet body is still sound.

Is repairing a faucet cheaper than replacing it?

Usually, yes. The internal repair parts are inexpensive and the labor is quick. Replacement only makes sense if the faucet body is cracked, the internal threads are corroded, or the unit is so old that replacement parts are no longer available. We'll price out both options so you can see the difference.

Can you fix a leaky faucet the same day?

Typically, yes. We stock our trucks with the most common cartridges, washers, and O-rings so we can wrap up most Richmond faucet repairs in a single visit. If your fixture requires a specialized part, we'll let you know immediately while we're on-site.

Faucet Repair in Richmond, TX | 24/7 Plumbing Co.

Should You Repair or Replace Your Faucet?

A leaking faucet is usually caused by worn internal seals rather than a failed fixture. Richmond’s local water hardness, averaging 9.76 grains per gallon, accelerates wear on internal washers and cartridges. Before recommending a full unit replacement, our plumbers assess the integrity of the faucet body to determine if a simple repair is viable. 24/7 Plumbing services kitchen, bathroom, and outdoor fixtures across Fort Bend County with honest, cost-effective recommendations. Call (281) 214-9706 today to request an estimate for faucet repair in Richmond.

What to Expect During Your Faucet Repair Visit

We trace the drip to the part that stopped sealing, usually a cartridge or an O-ring.
We check your handle, the spout, and the base for corrosion and mineral buildup.
We look underneath for supply-line drips, which are easy to miss and hard on the cabinet.
We rebuild or replace the worn internals with parts matched to your fixture.
We run hot and cold, then watch the spout stay dry before we call it done.

Common Faucet Problems We Fix

Almost every faucet repair call we take in Richmond traces back to a few key issues. Here’s what we see the most often when we’re out in the field, and what it takes to put each one right.

A constant drip means a cartridge, washer, or O-ring that no longer seals under pressure. We match the replacement to your fixture, clear the mineral buildup around the seat while the faucet is open, and check that the handle shuts off dry. The same wear shows up at the shower valve, where it is harder to spot.

Water collecting around the base or under the cabinet usually points to a cracked body or a supply connection that’s worked loose, and the cabinet board swells long before the fixture looks wrong. We reseal or replace the connection, and where the body itself is cracked, we’ll price a new fixture against the repair.

Scale from Richmond’s water collects in the aerator and around the cartridge, and the stream goes weak or starts spitting air. We clean or replace the restricted parts and check the supply. When the pressure problem runs past your fixture and back into the line, that’s water line repair.

24/7 Plumbing: Your Local Faucet Repair Experts

Hard water is a fact of life in Richmond, and it’s what puts most faucets on our schedule. Cartridges, washers, and O-rings all seal against pressure, and the minerals in Fort Bend County water keep working on them until they give. After years of repairing and replacing fixtures around here, our licensed plumbers can usually tell which part has worn before the handle even comes off, connecting you with your most time- and cost-effective fix yet. Here are the questions Richmond homeowners ask us most about faucet repair:
