In Gonzales, faucet repairs can be as simple or intricate as the problem requires. They must be done correctly, and often that requires a skilled hand. Water is a powerful force. When it gets through where it shouldn't, it can cause a lot of damage, as anyone who's ever had to deal with a flooded bathroom or kitchen can attest. And when the water comes through a faucet that should be shut off, you are in trouble.
Is your faucet just a little drippy? Then it needs a washer, a new O-ring, or some other part that, in the past, used to seem to be made out of rubber. And those parts, on a normal day, can be considered somewhat mundane. Yet that mundanity masks a powerful truth: water wasted in your faucet today, if not fixed, could come back to haunt you in the form of a utility bill that tries to do the same thing water does—flow.
A frequent issue we see is low water pressure; it can happen when a faucet becomes partially clogged. In Gonzales, we see this most often because of hard water and all the minerals it has in it. The buildup happens really quickly and would probably surprise you if you could see it. A lot of times, that just means the faucet itself is nearly broken. That might sound like it has a lot of potential for fix-up costs, but you can actually clean a lot of seemingly broken faucets. You just have to take off the parts, clean them, and put them all back together without damaging anything in the process. The easier and safer it is to clean the faucet, the less likely it is to become a significant problem down the line. There's also the issue of a squeaky or noisy faucet. A faucet should not make noise when you use it. If yours does, you might want to talk to someone about it.
More serious problems, such as a broken faucet handle or cartridge assembly that doesn't work properly, might require a professional plumber to fix them. Such repairs can be tricky and usually require replacing specialized parts or even entire faucet assemblies.
