Faucet swaps look simple until the old nuts are corroded, the shutoff valve won't close, or the new faucet doesn't fit the sink holes. We see all of it in North Potomac — and we come prepared.
Time to repair or replace your faucet
- Visible corrosion or finish wear
- 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
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.
North Potomac homes: what we see
Many North Potomac homes from the '80s–'90s still have original faucets and multi-turn shutoffs. Replacing both at once saves a second visit later.
Most North Potomac 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.
