Faucets

Tell us whether the faucet drips when it is off, leaks around the handle or base, or has noticeably less flow than before. Sticking handles, missing parts and visible corrosion also give the plumber useful starting points for the inspection.

An aerator screen can be involved in reduced flow at the spout, while other problems may involve internal parts or a water connection. If other fixtures have the same pressure concern, mention that as well so the inspection does not focus only on the faucet.

Some faucet problems can be addressed by replacing a worn component, such as a seal, washer or cartridge, depending on the model. A loose handle or connection also needs the correct repair rather than an assumption that the entire faucet has failed.

The condition of the fixture and the parts it uses help determine the available options. When damage or wear makes replacement more appropriate, Trident can help you consider a new faucet and the work required to connect it. A leak at the base alone does not settle that decision.

A single-handle faucet uses one control for the water, while a two-handle faucet separates the hot and cold controls. Both come in a range of finishes and styles. Choose around how you use the fixture, the controls you prefer and the sink or tub where it will go.

The mounting arrangement and water connections also matter. Share the model or type you are considering before installation so its fit can be reviewed. A tub faucet and a kitchen sink faucet serve different spaces; the appearance is only one part of the choice.

Replacing an older faucet can be part of a sink update or a focused change on its own. Trident can review the current fixture, accessible shutoffs and supply connections and discuss what the replacement needs. Report any existing leak underneath the sink along with the planned update.

If the sink also drains slowly or has damaged connections, include those concerns in the visit. Repairing the surrounding plumbing and installing the new faucet may be different parts of the job, and both should be clear before work begins.
