Faucet and Sink Repair in Jupiter
Faucet and sink repair covers the fixtures at the sink and everything beneath it: the faucet body and cartridge, the supply lines and stop valves, the drain basket, and the P-trap. Most problems come from a worn cartridge, a loose fitting, or a corroded valve.
A repair visit often costs less than a replacement faucet and takes less time. Replacement makes sense when the body is corroded or the finish is failing. Fixture work follows the Florida Building Code, Plumbing, which is based on the International Plumbing Code (IPC).
Common Faucet and Sink Problems
Drip from the spout
A worn cartridge or seat lets water past when the faucet is off.
Leak at the handle
O-rings or the cartridge have worn out.
Weak flow at one tap
A clogged aerator or a partly closed stop valve.
Wet cabinet floor
A supply line, trap fitting, or faucet base is leaking.
Slow sink drain
A clog in the trap or a partly blocked line.
Stuck stop valve
Corrosion has locked the valve in the open position.
Salt Air, Cabinets, and Quiet Leaks
Salt air near the coast speeds corrosion on chrome, brass, and the small compression nuts under a sink. A leak there may be a slow weep that dampens a cabinet floor for weeks before it warps the particleboard.
Check under each sink once a season. Dry the area, put a paper towel under the lines, and look again after a day. A damp towel tells you where the water is coming from.
Faucets that use WaterSense aerators limit flow to 1.5 gallons per minute, which helps in a state that pushes conservation. If low pressure is the complaint, an aerator clean is the first thing to try.
Water Under the Sink?
Close the stop valves and call the 24/7 line.
Where the Water Is Coming From
Matching the leak point to the part saves time.
| Leak location | Likely cause | What to try |
|---|---|---|
| Spout drips | Worn cartridge | Replace the cartridge. |
| Base of the faucet | Loose mounting or a failing seal | Tighten from below or replace the faucet. |
| Supply line connection | Loose or worn braided line | Close the stop valve and replace the line. |
| Trap under the sink | Loose slip nuts or a cracked trap | Realign and tighten, or replace. |
| Stop valve stem | Packing nut failing | Replace the stop valve. |
