What actually causes a faucet to drip, and what gets replaced to fix it?
A dripping faucet almost always comes down to a worn washer, O-ring, or cartridge inside the valve body, not the visible handle or spout itself. The exact part depends on which mechanism the faucet actually uses inside, and identifying that mechanism first is what determines which internal component gets replaced.
A faucet that drips only under pressure, or one that has started to feel loose or wobbly at the base, points toward a worn seat or a loosened mounting nut rather than the cartridge alone. Both get checked in the same visit rather than assumed away.
Outdoor and exterior faucets fail differently than indoor ones, since exposure to weather and salt air adds corrosion to the usual wear a cartridge sees from regular use indoors, which is worth mentioning when you call so the right parts come along.
Signs worth a call
What a faucet is usually telling you
The specific way a faucet fails usually points at exactly which part is actually worn.
A steady drip with the handle fully off
A worn washer or cartridge no longer sealing completely against the valve seat.
A handle that feels loose or wobbly
A mounting nut or set screw that has backed out over time with regular use.
Reduced flow from a single fixture
Mineral buildup or debris caught in the aerator or valve, rather than a supply-line issue.
A screeching or whistling sound when running
A partially closed valve or a worn washer vibrating under water pressure.
Corrosion visible on an outdoor spout or handle
Salt air and weather exposure wearing an exterior fixture faster than an equivalent indoor one.
Working in this area
What changes a faucet repair here
A few facts about this coastal setting affect how quickly fixtures actually wear out.
Original fixtures in older east-side homes
A kitchen or bathroom faucet original to a 1950s or 1960s home may use an older compression mechanism that a newer cartridge-style repair kit does not directly replace.
High-rise plumbing behind matched fixtures
A condo tower built to a single design spec often uses matching faucets across many units, so a part that fails in one unit is frequently already a known, documented replacement for the whole building.

Before you call
Faucet repair questions
Can a dripping faucet actually raise my water bill?
A steady drip adds up more than people expect across a full billing cycle; fixing the worn part behind it stops the ongoing waste rather than just quieting the sound.
Do you repair outdoor hose bibs and irrigation valves?
Yes, exterior fixtures are a common call given how much faster salt air wears them compared to indoor faucets.
Will you need to replace the whole faucet?
Usually not. Most drips are fixed by replacing the internal washer, cartridge, or seat rather than the entire fixture.
Can you match an older faucet’s parts?
In most cases, yes. For a genuinely obsolete compression-style faucet, a compatible replacement part or a full fixture swap gets discussed.
How fast can someone come fix a leaking faucet?
