Faucet repair in Dallas: drips, leaks and low flow
A dripping faucet is easy to ignore, but EPA WaterSense says one that drips once per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons a year. Most drips come from a worn cartridge, washer or O-ring inside the faucet. Faucet repair in Dallas also covers handles that are stiff or loose, water leaking around the base or spout, and low flow, which is often a clogged aerator or a problem in the supply line under the sink.
Repair the faucet or replace it?
If the faucet is in good shape and parts are available, replacing the cartridge or seals is usually enough. Replacement makes more sense when the body is corroded or cracked, the finish is failing, parts are no longer made, or you want a different style. For bathroom sinks, EPA WaterSense labeled faucets use a maximum of 1.5 gallons per minute instead of the standard 2.2, which EPA says can save the average family 700 gallons of water a year.
Sink leaks under the cabinet
Water in the sink cabinet usually comes from one of a few places: a loose or worn supply line, a leaking shutoff valve, the drain connection at the sink basket, or a P-trap joint that has worked loose. A small drip can soak the cabinet floor and swell the wood before anyone notices. If your sink drains slowly or keeps backing up rather than leaking, see our page on drain cleaning in Dallas.
Garbage disposal repair in Dallas
Most garbage disposal problems fall into a few patterns. A disposal that hums but does not spin is usually jammed. One that does nothing at all may have tripped its overload or lost power. Water under the sink can come from the sink flange, the dishwasher connection or a crack in the disposal body. Garbage disposal repair in Dallas starts by finding which one it is; a cracked or rusted-through unit is normally replaced rather than repaired.
- Hums but does not turn: jammed by a hard object or buildup
- Will not turn on: overload tripped, switch or wiring problem
- Leaks from the top, side or bottom of the unit
- Drains slowly or backs up into the other sink
Garbage disposal installation and replacement
Garbage disposal installation in Dallas covers adding a disposal to a sink that never had one and replacing a worn-out unit. The job includes mounting the unit to the sink, connecting the drain and dishwasher line, and checking for leaks once water runs. If the old unit leaked, the cabinet floor and nearby connections should be checked for damage at the same time.
What not to put down a Dallas kitchen sink
The North Texas Municipal Water District's Defend Your Drains campaign warns that fats, oils and greases still cool and harden in pipes even if you run hot water, that dairy such as milk, butter and creamy sauces can solidify further down the line, and that food scraps from the garbage disposal can make the problem worse. It recommends pouring grease into an empty can and scraping food into the trash before rinsing plates. Our guide on whether you can pour grease down the drain explains why this matters for your pipes.
