Faucet & Sink Repair in Auburn, WA
A dripping faucet wastes more water than it looks like, and a leaking sink connection can hide damage under a cabinet for months before it's noticed. We fix both fast, with the price agreed before we start.
Small Leaks, Real Consequences
A faucet that drips even when fully closed usually points to a worn cartridge or washer, an inexpensive fix that's easy to keep putting off since the drip seems minor. A leak under the sink at a supply line or drain connection is a different issue that often goes unnoticed until cabinet damage or mold under the sink forces the question, which is why we check the full connection, not just the visible faucet, on every call.
Persistent Drip
Worn cartridge, washer, or O-ring inside the faucet body, usually a straightforward same-day fix.
Under-Sink Leak
Supply line or drain connection failure, often hidden until cabinet damage appears.
Depends on the Fixture's Age and Availability
Most faucet drips are repairable with a replacement cartridge or washer, but a fixture old enough that parts are discontinued, or one that's failed at multiple points, is a legitimate case for full replacement rather than continued patching. If mineral buildup from Auburn's water content is a contributing factor in repeated fixture wear, that's worth addressing at the source with a water softener rather than replacing fixtures repeatedly.
Different Use, Different Wear Patterns
A kitchen faucet sees far more daily cycles and exposure to grease and food residue than a bathroom fixture, which is part of why kitchen faucets tend to need cartridge replacement sooner. We stock common cartridge and washer sizes for most major brands, which is usually what keeps a repair to a single visit rather than a return trip to source a part.
Matching Finish and Fit
Replacing a single fixture in an otherwise-original bathroom or kitchen means matching finish, hole spacing, and mounting style to what's already there, since a mismatched faucet finish or the wrong hole configuration turns a simple swap into a bigger project. We measure and confirm compatibility before ordering a replacement part, which is what keeps most faucet and sink jobs to the single visit we quote upfront.
Garbage Disposal-Adjacent Sink Leaks
A leak that appears to come from the sink drain sometimes actually originates at the garbage disposal's mounting gasket or discharge connection, which is easy to miss without checking the full assembly under the sink. We trace a suspected sink leak back to its actual source rather than assuming the drain trap is always the culprit.
Common Questions
Yes. A faucet dripping even a few times a minute adds up to real wasted water over a year, and the repair itself is usually quick and inexpensive.
Check for softness or discoloration in the cabinet floor and any musty smell, both signs of moisture that's been sitting for a while. We inspect for this during any under-sink repair, not just the immediate leak point.
We repair whenever the fixture's condition supports it. Replacement is recommended only when parts are unavailable or the fixture has failed at multiple points, and we'll explain the reasoning either way.
