Faucet repair for Daly City homes

Request faucet repair and describe what the faucet is doing. We send plumbers to Daly City from our Pacifica headquarters and our San Francisco location.

Good to know

  • Low flow at one faucet often starts at the aerator, the screen at the tip of the spout.
  • Daly City gives residents free faucet aerators.
  • A drip after the handle is off is almost always inside the faucet, not at the aerator.

Common Faucet Problems and What Fixes Them

What you notice Likely cause Usual repair
Weak or sputtering flow at one faucet Clogged or scaled aerator Clean or replace the aerator
Drip from the spout when off Worn cartridge, washer, or seat Replace the cartridge or washer and seat
Leak around the handle Worn O-rings or packing Replace the seals
Water pooling at the base Failed base seal or O-ring on the spout Reseal or replace the O-rings
Handle stiff or loose Worn cartridge or stem Replace the cartridge and trim parts
Leak in the cabinet below Loose supply line or failed connection Tighten or replace the supply line
Low flow at every fixture Problem upstream of the faucet Check pressure and supply lines

How We Repair a Faucet

  1. Shut off the water. We use the supply stops under the sink, and replace them if they are seized.
  2. Identify the faucet. Compression, cartridge, ball, or ceramic disc valves each use different parts.
  3. Replace the worn parts. Cartridges, washers, seats, O-rings, or the supply line.
  4. Clean or replace the aerator.
  5. Test. We run hot and cold, check for drips at the spout and leaks below.

Repair or Replace the Faucet?

Most faucets are worth repairing. A new faucet makes more sense when:

  • Parts for the brand are no longer available
  • The body is cracked or corroded
  • It has needed several repairs in a short time
  • You want a different style or a pull-down spout

If you decide to replace, we install the new faucet and test it before we leave.

Rubber Parts and Daly City Water

Daly City water is a blend of SFPUC supply and local well water, disinfected with chlorine and chloramine. Chloramine can be hard on some rubber parts over time.

When we replace washers, O-rings, and seals, we use chloramine-resistant parts when they are available for your faucet.

Faucets in the Rest of the Home

Kitchen faucets see the most use and fail most often. Bathroom faucets, laundry tubs, and outdoor hose bibs wear out too, and we repair all of them.

If the kitchen sink also has a disposal that jams or leaks, our garbage disposal repair in Daly City page covers that work. A dripping shower valve has its own causes, explained on our shower repair in Daly City page.

Faucet Repair in Daly City, CA: FAQs

Does Daly City give out free faucet aerators?

Yes. The city’s Water Conservation page lists a bathroom aerator and a kitchen or utility faucet aerator among the free water-saving devices it delivers to Daly City addresses.

Will a new aerator stop my faucet from dripping?

No. A drip after the handle is off comes from inside the faucet, usually a worn cartridge, washer, or seat. An aerator only affects how water flows when the faucet is on.

Why is the flow weak at only one faucet in my Daly City home?

The aerator is the most common cause. Unscrew it and run the water. If flow returns, clean or replace the aerator. If it does not, the cartridge or supply line may be the problem.

Does Daly City water wear out faucet parts?

Daly City’s water is disinfected with chlorine and chloramine, and chloramine can wear some rubber parts over time. We use chloramine-resistant washers and seals when they are available.

Do I need a permit to repair or replace a faucet in Daly City?

We confirm permit requirements with the city before work starts. Most faucet calls involve only parts inside the faucet.

Can you repair my faucet the same day?

Same-day service is available in Daly City. Bring the faucet brand if you know it, which helps us bring the right cartridge.

About The Area

When a New Aerator Fixes It, and When It Does Not

Daly City makes the first fix free. On its Water Conservation page, the Department of Water and Wastewater Resources says it offers free water-saving devices for residents, delivered to Daly City addresses. The order form lists a bathroom aerator and a kitchen or utility faucet aerator.

The aerator is the small screened tip at the end of the spout. Debris and mineral flakes collect there, because it is the last thing water passes through.

A new aerator is the right fix when:

  • Flow is weak or uneven at one faucet, and the others are fine
  • The stream sprays sideways or sputters
  • The old screen is visibly clogged or crusted

An aerator cannot fix a problem inside the faucet body. It does nothing for:

  • A drip from the spout after the handle is off, which means the cartridge, washer, or seat is worn
  • Water around the handle or the base, which means a seal has failed
  • A handle that is stiff, loose, or turns past where it should stop

If flow is the only complaint, we tell you to try the free aerator first, or we unscrew the old one on the visit to check it. If the flow comes back with the aerator off, the faucet is fine. If the drip continues with a new aerator on, we open the faucet and replace the worn part.
