Faucet Repair & Installation FAQs
Learn more about faucet issues and how to solve them from Bobby Terry Company, your licensed plumbing company serving Athens and the surrounding areas.
In most homes, kitchen faucet replacement takes about 1 to 2 hours. The timeline depends on the condition of the parts under the sink.
Common factors that can add time include:
- Shutoff valves that won’t turn
- Old or kinked supply lines
- Corroded mounting hardware
If any of those parts need attention, Bobby Terry Company’s licensed plumbing contractor will address them during the same service visit to prevent future leaks.
Most leaky tub faucets come from worn parts inside the valve, not the spout itself.
To repair the issue, Bobby Terry Company’s licensed plumber will:
- Match the valve type
- Replace the cartridge or stem
- Swap any failed seals
- Finally, check for leaks
If the leak is coming from the tub spout, a worn diverter or a loose connection can also be the cause. Getting the right internal parts matters because tub valves aren’t one-size-fits-all. Our plumbers handle bathtub faucet repair, including older valve setups that need the right parts to match.
If it’s happening at one faucet, the issue is often in that fixture, like a worn cartridge or mixing part. If several faucets are affected, it may point to a broader plumbing or water heater issue.
Quick clues to look for include:
- Only one faucet is acting up: the faucet or its connections are likely the cause
- Changes during other water use: water pressure or balancing may be involved
If you’re not sure where the problem lies, schedule a service visit with us to diagnose the problem and then perform the right repair.
Faucet leaks around the base or handles often come from worn seals or a faucet that’s loosened over time. Water can also run along the faucet body and show up in a spot that makes the source hard to judge.
Common causes include:
- Worn O-rings or seals in the handle or spout
- Loose faucet mounting under the sink
- A supply line connection that’s seeping
If the cabinet is wet, it helps to check more than the visible leak. Our experienced plumbers can trace where the water starts and tighten or replace the parts that are actually failing.
If the temperature keeps changing while the faucet is running, something is interrupting the hot or cold flow, or the mixing inside the faucet isn’t steady.
Common causes include:
- Worn faucet cartridge
- Aerator buildup
- One shutoff is partly closed
- Supply line restriction
- Water heater fluctuation
If it’s just one sink, the issue is often at the faucet or the shutoff valves under it. If it happens at multiple fixtures, it may point to the water heater or overall water pressure. Our plumbers will check the fixture first and then trace it further if needed.
