Faucet Repair & Installation in the Bay Area

Is your faucet leaking, making strange noises, or producing weak water pressure? These common plumbing issues are not only frustrating — they can waste water, raise utility bills, and point to deeper plumbing problems.

At Repipe Champions Plumbing and Rooter, we offer fast, reliable faucet repair and installation services throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, including Santa Clara, San Mateo, and Alameda Counties. Whether it’s a quick fix or a complete replacement, we’ve got you covered.


1. Dripping Faucet – What’s Causing the Leak?

A constantly dripping faucet can waste hundreds of gallons of water per year and drive up your utility bills.

Common causes:
• Worn-out washers or O-rings
• Corroded valve seat from mineral buildup
• Loose or deteriorated internal seals

Solutions:
• Replace washers, seals, and O-rings
• Clean or replace the valve seat
• Call a licensed plumber if the leak continues

2. Low Water Pressure – Why Is the Flow So Weak?

Weak water flow from a faucet usually signals internal blockage or broader plumbing issues.

Common causes:
• Mineral buildup in the aerator
• Hidden leaks under sinks or walls
• Faulty pressure regulators

Solutions:
• Remove and clean or replace the aerator
• Inspect for hidden leaks
• Schedule a plumbing pressure test


3. Noisy Faucet – What’s Behind the Sounds?

Unusual sounds like whistling, squeaking, or banging often point to mechanical or pressure issues.

Possible causes:
• Loose washers vibrating
• Excessive water pressure (water hammer)
• Air trapped in the plumbing

Solutions:
• Tighten or replace washers
• Adjust your water pressure regulator
• Flush the system to release trapped air

Persistent noises may require professional diagnosis.


4. Rusty or Discolored Water – Is It Safe?

If your faucet is releasing brown, yellow, or reddish water, corrosion or sediment is likely the cause.

Common sources:
• Rust from aging galvanized pipes
• Sediment buildup in the water heater
• City pipe flushing or water main issues

Solutions:
• Run water to clear minor buildup
• Flush the water heater annually
• Replace corroded pipes with copper or PEX

Ongoing discoloration should be checked by a licensed plumber to ensure water safety.


5. Faucet Handle Problems – Why Is It Hard to Turn?

A handle that sticks, spins, or feels loose is usually caused by wear and tear or mineral buildup.

Common issues:
• Hard water deposits
• Stripped internal threads
• Loose valve stem or packing nut

Solutions:
• Clean with vinegar to remove buildup
• Replace worn parts
• Lubricate with plumber’s grease

If problems persist, consider replacing the faucet entirely.
