Faucet & Sink Repair in Pflugerville, TX | Pflugerville Pro Plumbing
A dripping faucet or a sink that won't shut off completely wastes real money over time. Most faucet and sink repairs in Pflugerville are completed in a single visit once we've identified which internal part has actually worn out.
Why This Happens in Pflugerville
Hard water is the most common reason faucets fail here well before they should. Mineral buildup inside a cartridge or valve seat causes the drip that won't stop even after the handle is fully closed. It's a mechanical wear issue rather than a sign the whole fixture needs replacing.
How to Tell You Need This
Persistent Dripping
A drip that continues even with the handle fully closed points to a worn cartridge, washer, or valve seat.
Low Water Pressure at One Fixture
Reduced flow at a single faucet, while others run normally, usually means a clogged aerator or supply line restriction, not a house-wide pressure issue.
Handle That's Hard to Turn
A stiff or loose handle often means the cartridge inside has worn down and needs replacing.
Leaking at the Base
Water pooling around the faucet base is usually a worn O-ring, not the faucet body itself.
Our Faucet & Sink Repair Process
We match the internal cartridge, washer, or valve stem to the specific faucet brand and model rather than assuming a generic part will fit. Mismatched parts are the most common reason a DIY faucet repair fails within a few weeks.
For a leak under the sink itself, we check the supply lines and P-trap connections, which loosen over time from normal use and temperature changes, and are often the actual source of a leak that looks like it's coming from the faucet.
Which Option Fits Your Situation
Most faucet problems are a repair, not a replacement, unless the fixture itself is failing structurally.
Repair the Fixture
- Fixes a worn cartridge, washer, or valve seat.
- Matches parts to the specific faucet model.
- Lower cost than replacement.
- Makes sense for a fixture you like the look of.
Replace the Fixture
- Makes sense if the faucet body itself is corroded.
- Better fit for discontinued models with no parts available.
- Opportunity to upgrade finish or features.
- Needed if repeated repairs haven't resolved the issue.
What Determines the Price
Faucet and sink repair pricing depends on the specific part that's failed and whether it's a standard or specialty fixture.
A worn faucet part is routine wear and isn't covered by homeowners insurance, though water damage from a sudden supply line failure sometimes is. Want your real number? Call (512) 737-6168.
The same worn-cartridge pattern that causes a dripping faucet often shows up in a running or leaking toilet, covered on the toilet repair and installation page. If the leak is actually at a shower valve rather than a sink faucet, that's a related but distinct fix detailed on the shower and bathtub installation page. A leaking connection under the kitchen sink is sometimes actually the garbage disposal rather than the faucet itself. We handle the same repairs for Round Rock homeowners.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my faucet still drip after I replaced the washer myself?
A mismatched or incorrectly seated part is the most common reason a DIY faucet repair doesn't hold; matching the exact cartridge to the model usually resolves it.
Can you match a discontinued faucet model?
In most cases yes, through the manufacturer's parts catalog or a compatible aftermarket cartridge.
Is low pressure at one faucet a house-wide problem?
Not usually. If other fixtures run normally, it's almost always isolated to that fixture's aerator or supply line.
Do you repair kitchen and bathroom sinks the same way?
The diagnostic approach is the same, though kitchen faucets see more wear from daily use and fail somewhat sooner.
Can a worn faucet actually waste a lot of water?
Yes, even a slow drip can waste over a thousand gallons a year, which shows up as a real difference on the water bill.
