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 Wheaton — and we come prepared.
Time to repair or replace your faucet
- Low flow or sputtering from the spout
- Handles are stiff or loose
- Pull-down hose leaking or not retracting
- Visible corrosion or finish wear
- Constant drip even when handles are fully closed
- Leak under the sink at the supply lines
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.
Wheaton homes: what we see
Mid-century bathrooms in Wheaton frequently have wall-mounted or unusual-spaced faucets. We'll confirm fit before you buy.
Most Wheaton 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
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.
Do you replace tub and shower valves?
Yes, including cartridge replacement and full valve swaps.
What is the best faucet brand?
Moen, Delta, and Kohler all have good track records and parts availability.
