Faucet Repair

Types of Faucets We Repair and Replace

• Compression faucets — older two-handle design common in pre-1980s Simi Valley homes; worn rubber washers are the usual cause
• Ball faucets — single-handle kitchen faucets; springs, seats, and O-rings wear out and drip
• Cartridge faucets — the most common type in newer Simi Valley homes; cartridge replacement is usually a fast, inexpensive fix
• Ceramic disc faucets — single-lever design with a ceramic cylinder; disc or seal failure causes dripping or reduced flow

What’s Causing Your Faucet to Drip

• Worn cartridge or washer — the most common cause across all faucet types
• Damaged O-rings — rubber rings that seal moving parts; they degrade over time
• Corroded valve seat — where the faucet meets the seat in the compression system; sediment buildup causes corrosion
• Hard water mineral buildup — very common in Simi Valley; calcium deposits restrict flow and damage internal components over time

Repair or Replace?

If the faucet is under 10 years old and dripping from a single point, repair is almost always the better value. If it’s older than 10 years, leaking from multiple points, or the valves have corroded, replacement makes more sense long-term. A technician will look at the fixture and tell you which applies before doing anything.
