Two ceramic discs, a few O-rings, one aerator screen. That is the entire working inside of most faucets installed in Citrus Park over the last few decades, and each piece can be replaced on its own. Before anyone suggests a new fixture, it’s worth finding out which small part actually failed. A plumbing maintenance visit checks every faucet in the house at once.

Here is the local fact that matters: Citrus Park water holds roughly 15 to 20 grains of dissolved mineral per gallon. Heaters feel it first, valves and cartridges second, the owner’s wallet a close third. A water softener changes the arithmetic; nothing else does.

Repair is the right call when the faucet is a known brand, the body is sound, and the cartridge is still made. That covers most of what we see. Replacement is the right call when the finish is failing, the spout is loose in the body, parts are discontinued, or you have been looking at the same fixture for fifteen years and would like to stop. When you do replace, replace the shutoffs and supply lines with it. They cost little next to the faucet, and they’re the parts most likely to flood the cabinet.

Signs it’s time

  • A drip you can time

    A steady drip from the spout with the handle fully off means the cartridge seal or seat is scaled or worn. Leave a cup under it overnight. The result is usually more persuasive than any estimate.

  • Water pooling at the base of the handle

    Worn O-rings on the cartridge or spout. It often shows up as a damp countertop around the faucet or a slow stain inside the cabinet directly below.

  • The handle feels gritty and stiff

    Scale on the cartridge. It gets stiffer, not better, and eventually sticks or snaps. Replacing the cartridge before it seizes is the easier job.

  • Sputtering, sideways spray

    Debris or scale in the aerator. Clean it and watch. If the grit returns quickly, something upstream is shedding it, often a failing water heater or corroding galvanized pipe.

  • Shutoffs that won’t budge

    A valve that won’t turn, or weeps at the stem when it does, can’t protect you in an emergency. It’s a small replacement, best done alongside the faucet work, and a common find in homes with their original stops.

  • What’s leaking behind the pull-down sprayer?

    The hose has usually worn through where it rubs the cabinet or the counterweight. Hoses are replaceable on most brands, and the leak they cause lands inside the cabinet, where nobody looks.

Faucet Installation & Repair

Questions we get asked

Why does my faucet drip after I turn it off?
On a cartridge faucet, scale or wear on the sealing surfaces. On an older two-handle compression faucet, a worn washer or pitted seat. Both are repairable. If it drips for only a few seconds after closing, that’s the spout draining, and it’s normal.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a faucet?
For a good faucet with available parts, repair almost always wins. For a builder-grade faucet whose cartridge costs nearly as much as the whole unit, replacement makes more sense. When it’s close, we price both.
Will a new faucet fix low water pressure?
Only if the old faucet was the restriction. Clean the aerator first; if the stream is still weak, try the other fixtures. Low pressure everywhere points to the pressure regulator, a partly closed main, or scale-choked galvanized pipe, which is a pipe repair question rather than a faucet one.
How do I keep scale from ruining a new faucet?
Wipe the spout and soak the aerator every few months; that handles the outside. The inside is protected only by treating the water itself, which is what a water softener does. To put a number on the case for one, run the hard water cost calculator for your household.
