Expert Sink Fixture Repair & Installation

A dripping faucet might seem like a minor annoyance, but that steady drip can waste thousands of gallons of water per year and stain sink basins. At AquaFlow Plumbing Miami, our licensed technicians carry repair cartridges, gaskets, valve stems, and O-rings to resolve leaky taps on our first visit. If your kitchen or bathroom faucet is corroded or you're ready to upgrade to a modern, pull-down spray wand or touchless model, we provide clean, professional installation services.

Causes of a Leaky Faucet

Leaking faucets typically stem from four main issues:

  • Worn O-Ring: A small rubber ring around the stem that seals water inside. They degrade over time, leading to leaks near the handle base.
  • Corroded Valve Seat: The connection point between the faucet and spout. Mineral deposits can build up and corrode the metal, leading to leaks near the spout opening.
  • Degraded Washer: In traditional compression faucets, rubber washers are pressed against the valve seat. They wear down, causing spouts to drip constantly.
  • Worn-Out Cartridge: In modern single-handle faucets, cartridge discs control water flow. Cracks or scale buildup in the plastic cylinder cause drips.

Frequently Asked Questions

A faucet dripping once per second can waste over 3,000 gallons of water per year—equivalent to taking more than 180 showers. Repairing drips is one of the easiest ways to cut down utility bills.

While some DIYers can replace cartridge cartridges, matching the exact replacement part can be challenging. An incorrect cartridge size can lead to internal pipeline leaks behind your cabinets, causing mold. Hiring a professional guarantees a secure, code-compliant install.
