Faucet Repair in Ajax, ON

Faucet Repair or Faucet Replacement?

Most faucet repairs in Ajax come down to one small part. Modern faucets use a cartridge or ceramic disc that wears out over time. Older two-handle taps use rubber washers. Replacing these parts is quick and much cheaper than a new faucet.

Replacement is the better choice when:

• The faucet body is cracked or badly corroded.
• Parts are no longer made for your model.
• You have repaired it more than once in a short time.
• You simply want a new look for your kitchen or bathroom.

We will give you both prices so you can choose. No pressure either way.

Why a Leaky Faucet Is Worth Fixing

A faucet dripping once per second can waste thousands of litres of water a year, according to the EPA WaterSense Fix a Leak Week program. That is water you pay for. Constant drips can also stain sinks and wear out the faucet faster. A quick leaky faucet repair saves water, money and your sleep.

Quick checks before you call

• Is it the faucet or the supply line? Dry the area under the sink, run the tap and watch where water appears.
• Is the aerator blocked? Unscrew the tip of the spout and rinse it. If the flow improves, mineral build-up was the cause.
• Do the shut-off valves work? Turn them off gently. If they won’t turn or start to drip, let us know. We can replace them during the same visit.

What Happens During a Faucet Repair Visit

We start by turning off the water under the sink and checking the shut-off valves, supply lines and drain. Then we open up the faucet, find the worn part and show it to you. Most of the time it is a cartridge, washer or O-ring.

Once the new part is in, we turn the water back on slowly, run hot and cold, and check every joint for drips. We also clean the aerator so you get full water flow again. Before we leave, we wipe down the sink area and take the old parts away.

Signs your faucet needs attention soon

• Water drips from the spout or around the handle.
• The handle is hard to turn or doesn’t shut off fully.
• Hot and cold water mix poorly or the temperature jumps.
• You see white or green crust around the base.
• The cabinet under the sink smells damp.

Catching these early usually means a simple faucet repair instead of a full replacement or water damage.
