Indianapolis Leaky Faucet Repair

Many Central Indiana homeowners overlook minor faucet leaks, which are an unfortunate cause of serious water waste in the home. A dripping sink faucet, tub faucet, or showerhead adds up, generating gallons upon gallons of wasted water as long as the issue is allowed to persist. Natural gas or electric energy can also be wasted through a leaky faucet if the faucet leaks hot water, not only cold water.

How to fix leaky faucets depends on the type of fixture and the issue causing the drip. While the job seems easy enough when you watch online tutorial videos, how to fix a leaky faucet is not a job all homeowners should tackle. Disassembling a faucet to replace parts or tighten the packing nut won’t stop the problem if the faucet isn’t reassembled correctly. A DIY attempt to tighten a faucet handle or replace parts such as washers can result in the need for professional service or a brand-new fixture if you aren’t careful.

Avoid issues and resolve leaks fast when you call Mr. Plumber for faucet repair in your Central Indiana home. Our Indianapolis plumbers always arrive prepared, and our trucks are stocked with a variety of common faucet parts so your repair can be performed right away.

If a small drip suddenly becomes a major leak, Mr. Plumber is available all hours of the day and night to assist when plumbing emergencies arise. Call our on-call plumbers for quick service after hours, on weekends, and during the holidays.

Do Your Faucets Need to Be Repaired?

A malfunctioning faucet can create a number of hassles for the homeowner, including wasted money in the form of higher utility bills. Too often, faucet issues are overlooked or put off, written off as minor problems – we caution Central Indiana residents against this, as faucet issues cause problems to mount the longer you put them off.

Signs your faucets aren’t working properly and need to be repaired include:

  • A Leak That Does Not Stop
  • A Stuck or Squeaky Faucet Handle
  • Uneven Water Flow
  • Difficulty Balancing Hot and Cold Water Streams
  • Visible Rust Flakes and Minerals in the Water or on Faucet Parts
  • Pipes That Make a Gurgling or Knocking Sound When the Faucet Is On

New Faucets for Central Indiana Homes

A kitchen or bathroom faucet usually lasts between 10 to 15 years, but this lifespan can be affected by maintenance, water quality, and other factors unique to the home. Periodically, homeowners should replace faucets to improve efficiency and functionality. New faucet models offer reduced water output to aid in water conservation without detracting from your ability to wash hands, dishes, or the many other tasks water is used to complete inside the home.

Some homeowners even choose to upgrade faucets for purely aesthetic reasons. A faucet upgrade is an affordable way to change the look of a bathroom or kitchen and can be done without the great investment of time and money required for renovations.

Get the new faucets you desire professionally installed by the Mr. Plumber plumbing team! Our plumbers install all varieties of faucets used for kitchens and bathrooms, and we have a large selection of stylish, water-efficient fixtures to choose from. Contact us today to learn more about replacement faucets and how this simple upgrade has the power to noticeably reduce water consumption throughout the home.

Faucet Varieties for Kitchens and Bathrooms

There is no shortage of faucets available when you want a change in look or function where your kitchen and bathroom sinks are concerned! When it’s time to replace a faucet, options fit into four basic categories:

  • Ball faucets: Popular in kitchens, ball faucets feature a single faucet handle that attaches to the rounded cap atop the faucet spout. Within the body of the faucet sits a metal or plastic ball, which facilitates adjustments in water flow for hot and cold water supplies. These faucets have no washers, so you don’t have to mess with replacing worn-out washers throughout the years.

  • Cartridge faucets: This type of faucet contains a stem cartridge inside the faucet body. The cartridge moves up and down as water flow is adjusted.

  • Disk faucets: Disk faucets are a newer faucet type. A single faucet handle is positioned on the thick cylindrical body. Their pressure balance cartridge allows for the mixing of hot and cold water, and a ceramic disk within the mixing chamber allows for water flow adjustment.

  • Compression washer faucets: Compression washer faucets have been in use for many years. There are two rotating handles used to adjust hot and cold water as well as water flow. They do have washers which often need to be replaced after a period of years.

Within these basic faucet categories are a variety of different faucet models for installation in kitchens and bathrooms. Among new faucets are several finish options, with popular choices including brass, stainless steel, and zinc.

  • Center-set faucets are popular in bathrooms, with a small, compact body housing the spout and each faucet handle.
  • Single-handle faucets are great for a minimalist look or use in small spaces, as all components are housed in one fixture.
  • Spread-fit faucets require more space for installation, as they use three individual pieces.
  • Bridge faucets feature a spout that sits atop connecting hot and cold water handles, forming the look of a bridge.
  • Wall-mounted faucets are installed on the wall above a sink rather than directly on the vanity or sink.
