Why is my faucet dripping after I turn it off?

A dripping faucet almost always means a worn cartridge, ceramic disc, O-ring, or valve seat. In ball-style faucets, worn springs and seats are the typical cause. In cartridge faucets, the cartridge itself wears out. A single drip per second wastes about 3,000 gallons of water per year - enough to notice on a utility bill.

Should I repair my faucet or replace it entirely?

Repair if the faucet is under 10 years old and the body is undamaged. Cartridges and O-rings cost $15-40 and take about an hour to replace. Replace if the faucet is corroded at the base, stripped at the handles, or simply outdated. Replacement also makes sense if repair parts cost more than 50% of a new entry-level faucet.

Are you licensed and insured to work in Texas?

Yes. Nick Green holds a Master Plumber license from the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners - TSBPE #45925 - which is the highest plumbing license level in Texas. We carry full general liability insurance on every job. You can verify the license at the TSBPE website using license number 45925.

Faucet Repair in Collin County

A dripping faucet is not a minor nuisance - it is a measurable water loss. One drip per second adds up to 3,000 gallons a year, which appears on your water bill and contributes to calcium buildup in drain lines below the fixture.

Brands and Faucet Types We Service

We work on all major residential faucet brands: Moen, Delta, Kohler, American Standard, Grohe, and Pfister. We carry common cartridge and O-ring repair kits for the most common models, so most kitchen faucet repairs finish same day without a parts run.

Faucet Replacement

If your faucet is corroded, stripped, or more than 15 years old, replacement is often the better investment. We can supply and install a replacement faucet at the same appointment, or install one you’ve already purchased. We handle supply line disconnection, mounting hardware, and supply line reconnection - leave the cabinet empty for us.
