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.

How We Repair a Faucet
Shut off the water. We use the supply stops under the sink, and replace them if they are seized.
Identify the faucet. Compression, cartridge, ball, or ceramic disc valves each use different parts.
Replace the worn parts. Cartridges, washers, seats, O-rings, or the supply line.
Clean or replace the aerator.
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.
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.

Pro tip
If one Daly City faucet has weak flow, unscrew the aerator and run the water. If the flow comes back, order the city’s free replacement aerator. If the faucet drips when off, the cartridge needs work instead.

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.
We’ve earned our reputation one happy homeowner at a time.
