Faucet Installation from Mr. Rooter Plumbing

According to the EPA, the average family wastes 180 gallons of water yearly from household leaks. A leaking faucet isn’t just annoying—over time, a small leak increases your water bill and can damage your home considerably. Broken knobs or handles on faucets are also a nuisance that shouldn’t be ignored.

Save money, prevent water damage, and call Mr. Rooter Plumbing for professional faucet repair.

Faucets fail for many reasons, such as corroded washers, worn-out O-rings, valve seats, or seals. We can repair:

• Kitchen faucets
• Outdoor faucets
• Touch on/off faucets
• Bathroom faucets
• Utility sink faucets

When you call Mr. Rooter to fix your faucet, we’ll find the necessary part to fix it. We’ll also fix kitchen faucet sprayers, repair broken knobs and handles, replace valves, and more.

Not all faucet leaks are obvious. Use your water meter to determine if your household has a leak. Take a reading from your water meter, don’t use any water for several hours, and take another reading. Hopefully the meter didn’t move; if it did, it means you have a leak!

Whether or not you need a plumber to install a new faucet can depend on your skill levels and whether or not you have the right tools. You may see the value in hiring a service professional to ensure your new faucet is installed correctly and well-sealed.

You need to turn off the water to install a new faucet. Turn off the hot and cold water supply to your sink by turning the valves underneath your sink clockwise. If you don’t have stop valves, you’ll need to shut off your entire home’s water supply.

You can replace a single-handle faucet with a double. However, you may need to create a second hole for an additional handle. Call your local service professional if you don’t believe your DIY skills are up to the task.

How long it takes to replace a faucet can depend on your skill level and whether there are any complications or challenges. An average faucet replacement may take 30 minutes to an hour – or even longer.
