A dripping faucet looks like a small job. In an older house, the faucet is often the newest part of the setup, and the valves and lines beneath it tell the real story.

Works Plumbing handles faucet repair in Moss Beach, CA for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry sinks, and outdoor spigots. We find the source of the drip or leak, fix what can be fixed, and tell you plainly when a faucet is past saving. Book a faucet repair visit and we will start with the fixture in front of you.
Key takeaways
Where the water shows up points to the failed part.
| Symptom | Likely cause | What we check first |
|---|---|---|
| Drip from the spout | Worn washer, seat, or cartridge | Valve type and part condition |
| Water around the base | Failed O-rings or a loose base | Spout seal and mounting |
| Stiff or loose handle | Worn stem, cartridge, or handle adapter | Stem and handle parts |
| Weak flow from one faucet | Clogged aerator or cartridge screen | Aerator, then the cartridge |
| Water in the cabinet | Supply line, stop valve, or drain connection | Every joint under the sink |
| Spigot drips outside | Worn hose bib washer or stem packing | The stem and seat |
If you find water inside a wall or under a floor, the faucet may not be the source. That calls for leak detection in Moss Beach before any fixture work.
We at Works Plumbing work through each faucet in the same order:
You get upfront pricing before parts go in. If a repair costs nearly as much as a new faucet, we say so.
Most faucets are worth repairing once. Some are not. We weigh a few plain factors:
When you choose replacement, we install the new faucet and new supply lines together, and replace the stops if they did not pass our test.
Kitchen faucets have more moving parts than bathroom faucets, and more places to leak.
When a kitchen cabinet floor is wet, we run the faucet with the hose extended and watch every connection. That finds leaks that only show when the sprayer is in use.
A few simple steps limit damage while you wait:
That last detail helps us bring the right parts the first time.
Faucet repair is not limited to the sink. Tub spouts, shower valves, and hose bibs use the same parts in different places.
For a shower valve that leaks inside the wall, see our shower repair service in Moss Beach.
Works Plumbing has been family owned and operated since 2009, and Moss Beach is part of our San Mateo County service area.

My Moss Beach home was built in the 1960s. Can the original faucet be repaired?
Often, yes, if parts still exist for it. Many older compression faucets take standard washers and seats. If the stem or body is no longer made, we will show you the problem and price a replacement instead.
The shutoff under my sink will not close. What happens then?
We shut off water at the house main, replace the failed stop, and then repair the faucet. We price the valve separately so you can see what each part of the job costs.
Who is responsible for the pipes between the street and my faucet?
You are, from the district connection to the house. MWSD’s rules place private service pipes on the property owner under District Code Section 3-5.1100(a) and Section 5-4.225.
Do I need a permit to repair a faucet in Moss Beach?
Moss Beach is unincorporated, so building and plumbing permits come from San Mateo County, not a city. We confirm permit requirements with the County before work starts.
Should I worry about lead in an older Moss Beach faucet?
The EPA says lead pipes are more likely in homes built before 1986. That does not tell you about your home. A tap test is the way to know, and if you replace an old faucet, we install a new one rated for drinking water.
Who do I call if the water itself looks or tastes wrong?
Montara Water and Sanitary District supplies water to Moss Beach, so start with the district for water quality questions. If the problem shows at one faucet only, we check the aerator, cartridge, and supply line.
A slow drip wastes water every hour it runs. Schedule faucet repair in Moss Beach with Works Plumbing, and we will fix the faucet and check the valves beneath it.

A look at real Works jobs around the Peninsula.
Moss Beach has an older housing stock, and that shapes what a faucet repair involves. The Census Bureau’s American Community Survey estimates for Moss Beach (2019 to 2023) put the median year built at 1971. The same survey estimates 109 homes built in 1939 or earlier and 344 built in the 1970s. These are survey estimates with wide margins of error, not a house count.
Here is why the age of a house matters at the sink.
That is why we test the shutoffs before we take a faucet apart. If a stop will not hold, we tell you before the water is off at the main, and we price the valve and the faucet work separately.
For homes built before 1986, the EPA notes that lead pipes are more likely. We do not assume anything about a specific home. If lead is a concern, testing at the tap is the way to know.
We also serve these neighboring Peninsula towns.
We’ve earned our reputation one happy homeowner at a time.
