Drips, Stiff Handles and Cartridge Issues
Describe where the faucet leaks and whether handles/spout move normally. Cartridge repair is model-specific; concealed valve problems can exceed a simple faucet task.
Single-Hole, Widespread and Pull-Down Faucets
Provide faucet configuration and sink/counter hole pattern. New hardware should match the existing opening unless countertop work is separately scoped.
Existing Supply Lines and Shutoff Valves
Safe exterior photos can show supplies/shutoffs. Replacing failed shutoffs or altering piping is licensed plumbing scope.
Repair vs Full Faucet Replacement
A worn aerator/handle differs from internal body or valve failure. Parts availability can determine whether repair is practical.
Sink Hole Configuration and Fit
Kitchen/bath sink openings and deck thickness affect compatibility. Sink work uses Sink Installation & Repair.
When Plumbing-System Changes Are Required
Vanity projects use the vanity page; shower/tub valves are not treated as ordinary faucets. Use Contact for a narrow existing-compatible-connection scope only after the scope is confirmed.
Before Faucet Work Is Screened
Provide faucet product/model, sink hole count/spacing and safe exterior photos of supply lines/shutoffs. For repair, describe exactly where water appears and whether the handle/spout is loose, stiff or leaking when off. Wall-mounted faucets, failed shutoffs, corroded piping or relocated connections should be treated as licensed plumbing scope instead of a normal faucet swap.
Parts of this project may require a licensed, structural or specialist provider. The page keeps those boundaries explicit.
