Faucet Repair & Installation

Replacing a faucet usually requires, slot head and phillips head screwdrivers, a set of locking pliers, a bucket, some towels, and lots of patience. You'll need to turn off the water supply valves beneath the sink, disconnect the water supply lines from the water valves then remove the old faucet assembly. Follow the manufacturer's directions for installing the new faucet. Expect to spend 1-2 hours on the project if you don't have experience replacing faucets. An experienced plumber can usually complete the job in 30 minutes.

Take a good look at your old faucet's appearance. Does it have lime or calcium stains or mineral buildup? Do the handles turn smoothly? Are they too loose or too difficult to turn? Does the water flow smoothly from the spout? Is the faucet out of style? Does it drip from the spout or leak from the base? Is it more than 8 years old? If you answered yes to two or more of these questions , you could justifiably replace your faucet.
