A dripping faucet wastes water and money, and an outdated one can make a kitchen or bath look tired. HiTrend Plumbers repairs and replaces faucets throughout Glen Echo — kitchen, bathroom, and tub/shower.
Time to repair or replace your faucet
- Constant drip even when handles are fully closed
- Leak under the sink at the supply lines
- Low flow or sputtering from the spout
- Handles are stiff or loose
- Pull-down hose leaking or not retracting
- Visible corrosion or finish wear
Repair or replace?
Many quality faucets can be fixed with a new cartridge or O-rings. If parts are unavailable, the body is corroded, or you want a new look, replacement makes more sense. We'll tell you which makes sense for your faucet.
Glen Echo homes: what we see
In older Glen Echo homes, the supply pipes under sinks are often galvanized or old copper with compression fittings that don't like being disturbed. We bring the parts to replace them if needed.
Most Glen Echo homes are on WSSC Water, which licenses plumbers in its service area and runs the cross-connection (backflow) program.
The shutoff valves matter
Old multi-turn shutoff valves under the sink often fail to close or start leaking the moment they're touched. We recommend replacing them with quarter-turn valves and new braided supply lines during a faucet install. It's inexpensive insurance against a future leak.
You pick the faucet — or we can
Bring your own faucet from a big-box store or we can supply one. We install Moen, Delta, Kohler, Pfister, and most major brands, including touchless and pull-down models. We check sink hole count and spacing before install so there are no surprises.

Frequently asked questions
How long does faucet replacement take in Glen Echo?
Usually 1–2 hours, depending on access and shutoff valve condition.
Can I supply my own faucet?
Yes. We install customer-supplied faucets. Bring the box and parts so we can check them.
Why does my new faucet have low pressure?
Often debris in the aerator or cartridge after installation. Cleaning the aerator usually fixes it.
Should I replace the shutoff valves too?
If they're older multi-turn valves, yes — quarter-turn valves are more reliable.
