If a faucet is leaking under the sink, close the two shutoff valves below it. Then send Works Plumbing a service request.
Each faucet design fails in its own way. Knowing the type helps us bring the right parts on the first trip.
Snap a photo of the faucet and the label under the sink if one exists. It speeds up part matching.
Some faucet problems are an annoyance. Others can damage a cabinet or floor within days.

Call the same day:
Our faucet repair in Burlingame, CA follows a set order so nothing gets skipped.
We dry the area, run the faucet, and trace where water first appears. A leak at the base and a leak at the supply line need different fixes.
We identify the brand and cartridge or valve type. We carry common parts and source the rest.
Cartridges, washers, O rings, and seats are replaced. We clean the valve body and check the supply lines and shutoffs while the faucet is open.
We run hot and cold, check the drain connection, and look under the sink again after a few minutes.
We at Works Plumbing give you the price before step three. If a rebuild costs close to a new faucet, we say so.
A leak under the sink is easy to miss until the cabinet floor swells. Check the base every few months with a flashlight.
Water can come from four places:
Dry everything with a towel, run the faucet, and watch which spot gets wet first. That one observation saves time on the visit.
If the shutoff valves are hard to turn or will not close, we replace them during the faucet repair.
A clean aerator keeps flow steady and protects the cartridge from grit. It takes about five minutes.
If the aerator will not budge or the threads strip, stop and call us. A damaged spout thread usually means a new spout or faucet.
Faucet repair is not limited to kitchens and baths. Laundry sinks and hose bibs wear out too.
A hose bib that drips from the spout usually needs a new washer or stem. One that leaks at the handle needs new packing. If water appears inside the wall behind an outdoor faucet, call us soon, because that leak is out of sight.
We repair or replace these faucets with the same upfront pricing as indoor fixtures.
Repair is usually the better value. Most quality faucets accept replacement cartridges for years.
Replacement makes sense when:
If you replace a kitchen faucet, it is a good time to look at the disposal and the drain below. Our garbage disposal repair in Burlingame page covers what we check there.
Works Plumbing has been family owned and operated since 2009 and serves Burlingame and the rest of the San Mateo County Peninsula.

Is a dripping faucet in Burlingame a sign of a water quality problem?
Usually not. The city’s 2025 sampling found 0 of 30 tap samples over the lead or copper action level. A drip comes from a worn cartridge, washer, or seal inside the faucet, and that is what we repair.
Why does only one faucet in my Burlingame home have weak flow?
When one faucet is weak and the rest are fine, the aerator or cartridge in that faucet is the likely cause. If every fixture is weak, we check the home’s shutoff, pressure regulator if one is present, and supply piping instead.
Are there lead service lines feeding Burlingame homes?
The city reports no known lead service lines in its distribution system. It has also completed a service line inventory that covers the private side of the line.
When is Burlingame’s next lead and copper sampling round?
The 2025 Water Quality Report lists the next round for July 2028. The city repeats this sampling every three years.
Can you repair a faucet the same day in Burlingame?
Yes, in most cases. We offer same-day service, and we carry common cartridges and seals. Less common brands may need a part ordered, and we tell you before we leave.
Do I need a permit to replace a faucet in Burlingame?
A like-for-like faucet replacement is a fixture repair. If the job grows into moving supply lines or changing the drain, we check with you about permit needs before that work begins.
A drip wastes water every day it runs. Schedule faucet repair with Works Plumbing and we will fix it and check the connections under the sink.

Burlingame’s water arrives at your faucet in good shape, according to the city’s own testing. That helps narrow down where a faucet problem starts.
The City of Burlingame 2025 Water Quality Report covers the city’s Lead and Copper Rule sampling, which runs every three years. In 2025 the city collected 30 tap samples. None of the 30 exceeded the action level for lead or for copper. The next round is scheduled for July 2028.
The city’s water comes from SFPUC’s Hetch Hetchy system. Treatment includes pH adjustment for corrosion control, along with chloramination to keep a disinfectant in the water as it travels.
Here is why that matters on a service call. When a faucet sputters, runs weak, or shows specks, homeowners often suspect the water. With those results on record, we look at the fixture first.
The usual culprits are inside the faucet:
