Faucet service covers the repair, replacement, and installation of kitchen, bathroom, utility, and outdoor faucets, including cartridge replacement, supply-line repair, valve seat refurbishment, and full fixture upgrades.
A dripping faucet is the most common plumbing complaint in any home, and it is usually a cartridge that has worn out. The fix is fast and cheap once you know which brand and model of faucet you have. Low pressure at a fixture is almost always one of two things. A clogged aerator (easy fix) or a clogged supply line (a little more work). Outdoor faucets in Florida fail differently than indoor ones because of UV degradation and the occasional freeze. We handle all of it, kitchen and bath and outdoor, repair and install. Most faucet calls finish in one visit.
Florida's hard water shows up at faucets faster than anywhere else in the house. Calcium and mineral buildup clogs aerators and slows flow, especially in kitchen pull-down sprayers and rainfall shower heads. The mineral content also degrades rubber and silicone seals inside cartridges, so faucets in Orlando typically need cartridge service every 5 to 8 years where soft-water regions might go 15. Outdoor hose bibbs have their own pattern. UV degradation cracks the handle and the body, and the occasional Florida hard freeze (every few years) can split the body of a non-frostproof bibb. Replacing outdoor faucets with frostproof models eliminates the freeze risk for the rare cold snap.
Almost always a worn cartridge. Single-handle faucets have one cartridge that handles both temperature and flow. Two-handle faucets have a cartridge or stem on each side. Cartridges are brand-specific (Moen, Delta, Kohler, Pfister all use different designs), and the replacement is fast once we identify the brand. Replacement is much cheaper than full faucet replacement on most kitchen and bath faucets.
Most often the aerator (the small screen at the end of the spout) is clogged with mineral buildup. Unscrew it, soak in vinegar, rinse, reinstall. Five minutes. If the aerator is clean and the pressure is still low, the next suspect is a clogged or failed supply-line shutoff at the wall, or in older homes, a galvanized supply line scaled internally to the point of restricting flow.
Outdoor faucets fail in three ways. The packing nut leaks at the handle (tighten or repack). The valve seat leaks when the faucet is shut off (rebuild or replace). The body cracks from UV degradation or a rare hard freeze (replace, ideally with a frostproof model). Frostproof bibbs put the shutoff valve inside the conditioned wall instead of outside the house, which protects against freeze damage.
Sometimes the right answer is replacement, especially for older faucets where parts are hard to source, when the homeowner wants an upgrade (touchless kitchen, rainfall shower, single-handle conversion), or when corrosion has fused fittings together. We carry common models or work from a homeowner-supplied fixture. Most full-replacement jobs take one to two hours per fixture.

Ballpark Orlando-area ranges. Your exact price depends on the job, and we give a firm, free quote before any work starts.
FBC-P 605 governs supply piping materials and FBC-P 424 sets the maximum flow rates: 2.2 GPM at 60 PSI for kitchen faucets, 1.5 GPM at 60 PSI for lavatory faucets, and 2.0 GPM for residential showerheads. EPA WaterSense models meet these limits.
Standard faucet installation labor runs $150 to $350 in the Orlando metro for 2026, with $225 as the typical median for a single kitchen or bath faucet swap. Cartridge or stem repair is $125 to $235. The fixture itself ranges $80 to $700 depending on brand and finish.
Most single-faucet swaps take 30 to 90 minutes on a same-day call when the fixture is in stock. New installs needing supply-line work or shut-off replacement run 90 to 150 minutes.
We install and service Delta (Trinsic, Cassidy, Lahara), Moen (Arbor, Adler, Banbury, 1224 cartridge), Kohler (Bellera, Simplice, Sous), Pfister (Stellen, Pasadena), and Grohe (Concetto, Eurosmart). Cartridge stock covers Moen 1224 / 1225, Delta RP19804 / RP46074, and Kohler GP1059291.
Renovation-heavy ZIPs drive most new-install demand: 32789 (Winter Park), 32803 (College Park), 32801 (downtown lofts), and 32814 (Audubon Park). Repair calls cluster in older homes across 32792, 32806, 32812.
Call (407) 964-8940 for fast service. Most cartridge repairs are stocked on the truck, so the fix happens on the first visit.
Faucet work often pairs with toilet repair during bathroom renovations, garbage disposal service in kitchens, and leak detection when faucet drips combine with hidden leaks elsewhere. Common in Winter Park and Lake Mary homes.
Quality kitchen and bath faucets last 15 to 20 years with periodic cartridge service. Budget models last 7 to 12 years. Outdoor faucets in Florida last 10 to 20 years depending on UV exposure and whether they are frostproof. Cartridges inside any faucet need service every 5 to 8 years in hard-water regions like Orlando.
Yes, if you can identify the brand and find the right cartridge. The challenge is brand identification on older or unusual fixtures, and getting the cartridge out without breaking the housing. Five-minute job if everything goes right, two-hour job if it does not. Worth a service call for older or seized fixtures.
Almost always mineral buildup in the sprayer head. Unscrew the head, soak in white vinegar for an hour, scrub with an old toothbrush, rinse, reinstall. If the pressure is still low, the supply line or the diverter (the valve that switches between sprayer and main) is the next suspect.
A frostproof hose bibb has its shutoff valve 6 to 12 inches inside the wall instead of right at the exterior fitting. When water is shut off, the section of pipe outside the conditioned space is empty. This prevents freeze damage during the rare Florida hard freeze.
Usually yes. A worn cartridge can drip from the spout even when the handle is fully closed, because the internal seal is no longer making complete contact. Cartridge replacement is the standard fix.
Yes. We routinely install homeowner-supplied fixtures. Just make sure it is the correct configuration for your sink (number of holes, spread between handles, hot/cold orientation). We can sometimes spot configuration mismatches at the quote stage so you can return and order the right one.
Unscrew the aerator from the spout (counterclockwise from the user's perspective). Soak in white vinegar for 30 to 60 minutes. Scrub gently with a toothbrush. Rinse with water. Reinstall. Five minute job, no tools required for most aerators.
Genuinely useful in active kitchens where hands are often dirty. The MotionSense and similar systems work reliably and last 8 to 15 years. The infrared sensor needs power (battery or hardwired), so factor that into installation. About 1.5x to 2x the cost of a comparable manual faucet.
Usually a mineral-fused cartridge. Penetrating oil and patience sometimes free it, but stuck cartridges often need to be cut out, which is a job for a plumber to avoid damaging the faucet body. The replacement cartridge then fits without issue.
