A dripping faucet is almost always caused by worn internal components — cartridges, O-rings, ceramic disc assemblies, or rubber washers that have deteriorated from years of use and the mineral content in Lake County water. We diagnose the faucet type (ball, cartridge, ceramic disc, or compression) and replace the failed internal component. In many cases, a dripping faucet can be repaired without replacing the entire fixture — saving our Gurnee customers money.
Water seeping around the base of a handle or spout usually indicates a failed O-ring or cartridge seal. These leaks often start small and worsen over time, eventually dripping water into the cabinet below or damaging the sink surface. We replace O-rings and cartridges to stop handle leaks cleanly.
Low water pressure at a single faucet — while pressure elsewhere in the house is normal — usually points to a clogged aerator or a failing cartridge. Aerators (the small screen assembly at the tip of the faucet spout) collect mineral deposits from Lake County's moderately hard water, progressively restricting flow. We clean or replace aerators and diagnose cartridge issues causing pressure loss.
When a faucet is old, severely corroded, or you simply want to upgrade your kitchen or bathroom fixture, we handle complete faucet replacement. We install all styles — single-handle, double-handle, pull-down kitchen faucets, wall-mount, and vessel sink faucets. If you've purchased a faucet you love and need it professionally installed, we do that too.
Outdoor hose bibs (spigots) in Gurnee take particular abuse from our harsh Illinois winters. Frozen hose bibs crack and begin leaking internally when thaw arrives — often flooding the inside wall where the bib enters the house. We repair and replace standard and frost-free hose bibs, and strongly recommend frost-free models for any Gurnee home that has experienced frozen outdoor pipes.
Our plumbers are experienced with all major faucet brands including Moen, Delta, Kohler, American Standard, Pfister, Grohe, and Hansgrohe. Moen and Delta are the most common brands in Gurnee homes, and we stock cartridges and parts for these brands on our trucks.
Lake County has moderately hard water, and mineral deposits from hard water are a significant factor in faucet wear and aerator clogging in Gurnee homes. If you find yourself needing faucet cartridges or aerators replaced repeatedly, a whole-home water softener may be a worthwhile investment that extends the life of all your fixtures. Ask our plumbers about water treatment options when we service your faucet — we can give you an honest assessment of your water quality and what solutions make sense for your Gurnee home.
