Why is my faucet dripping?

A dripping faucet almost always has a worn cartridge, washer, O-ring or valve seat. Replacing the worn part stops the drip. Ethical Plumbing repairs kitchen, bathroom, tub and outdoor faucets, or tells you when a new faucet costs less. Call 864-438-0525.

  • Drips and leaks
  • Low water flow
  • Tub and shower faucets
  • Outdoor faucets and hose bibs

Repair the faucet you like

Most quality faucets are built to be repaired. A new cartridge or seal brings them back to like-new for far less than a replacement. We identify the brand and model, replace the worn parts and check the supply lines and shutoffs under the sink.

If the faucet is a low-end model without replacement parts, or the body itself is cracked or corroded, we will say so and price a new faucet.

Signs your faucet needs repair

Call when you notice:

  • A drip from the spout
  • Water under the sink or around the base
  • Weak or sputtering flow
  • A handle that is stiff or loose
  • Hot and cold mixing wrong
  • An outdoor faucet that leaks or will not shut off

Faucets we repair

  • Kitchen faucets

    Pull-down, single-handle and two-handle faucets.

  • Bathroom faucets

    Single-hole, widespread and centerset faucets.

  • Tub and shower faucets

    Drips and stiff handles; see shower repair for valves.

  • Outdoor faucets

    Hose bibs and frost-free sillcocks, including freeze damage.

Outdoor faucets in the Upstate

Outdoor faucets are the most common freeze casualty in Upstate homes. A hose left connected in a hard freeze can split a frost-free faucet inside the wall, and the leak only shows up the next time you turn it on. Disconnect hoses before freezing weather, and see frozen pipe repair for more.

What affects the price of faucet repair

You get a written price before work starts. It depends on:

  • Faucet brand and parts availability
  • Which parts are worn
  • Supply line and shutoff condition
  • Access inside walls for outdoor faucets

I have an under mount sink that was falling in and needed a new faucet installed. Ethical Plumbers fixed it! They did a wonderful job! I called at least 5 plumbing contractors and they told me they did not fix under mount sinks but Ethical didn’t they actually fixed it. They also did a great job with installing the faucet I purchased from Lowe’s. I would recommend them all day! If you have a problem with your…

Ethical Plumbing installed a new tankless water heater for my home and new faucet for kitchen sink. Excellent work done on both projects.

Very friendly admin staff and friendly plumber but expensive estimate to install a kitchen faucet! Try to get a verbal ballpark before setting up service appointment.

Faucet repair FAQs

Is it worth repairing a dripping faucet?

Usually yes, for any quality faucet. Parts are inexpensive compared with a new faucet.

Why is my faucet flow weak?

A clogged aerator or cartridge is the usual cause. If every faucet is weak, the problem may be water pressure or the pipes.

Why is water under my kitchen sink?

Check the supply lines, the faucet base and the drain connections. A leaking sprayer hose is a common culprit.

My outdoor faucet leaks inside the wall. What happened?

Most likely it froze with a hose attached. The faucet needs replacing; the wall should be checked for water.

Do you repair single-handle faucets?

Yes. Most single-handle faucets have a replaceable cartridge.

Can you repair a faucet without the brand name?

Usually. We identify the cartridge type and source the right part.

How long does a faucet repair take?

Most repairs take under an hour once we have the part.

Should I replace the shutoff valves too?

If they are old or do not shut off fully, yes. We check them on every faucet call.
