Faucet Repair for Ohio Residents for 60+ Years
A faucet can wear out over time and leak or cause other issues. Before you replace your faucet, you can try some simple DIY repairs to fix it. Here are some DIY tips from the experts at Wilson Plumbing & Heating.
The steps for fixing a sink faucet include:
- Turn off the water supply
- Drain the lines by turning on the faucet until the dripping ends
- Cover the sink with a towel or drain cover so no parts fall through while you work
- Take the faucet off by locating the cap on the back of the faucet, removing it, and loosening the screw
- Take the bonnet off the faucet with pliers that are covered with electrical tape for protection
- Look for damage to the O-ring, which can be replaced with a new ring that is coated in plumber’s grease
- Look for damage to the spout, in which case you will need a new cartridge
- Pull upward with pliers to remove the cartridge, and install a new one, making sure the hot and cold water holes are correctly aligned
- Put all the pieces back together in order and test the faucet

New Faucet Installation
When you need a new faucet, we can help you quickly update it and even save you money. A leaking faucet can cost hundreds of dollars per year in added water costs. Sometimes replacing a faucet is a more affordable choice than fixing it. Our technicians at Wilson Plumbing & Heating can install a new faucet in your home, no matter what type you need.
You can choose from four main faucet types for the sinks in your home, which include:
- Compression: A screw and washer press against a valve to allow water to flow
- Ball: A ball presses against the valve and adjusts the water temperature
- Disc: This type is similar to the ball but comes in a disc shape instead
- Single-Handled Cartridge: The hot water and cold water flows are controlled by a single unit
Your personal preference and your budget will affect your choice of faucet type. We can help you narrow down your choices based on the unique needs of your family.
