How much water does a dripping faucet waste?

A faucet that drips once per second wastes about 3,000 gallons per year — roughly $20–$30 on a Portland Water Bureau bill. Faster drips multiply the waste quickly. Repair pays for itself in reduced water bills.

Can you repair any faucet brand?

We repair Delta, Moen, Kohler, American Standard, Price Pfister, and most other brands. Older or discontinued faucets sometimes require part sourcing — we confirm parts availability before starting and give you the option to replace if parts aren't readily available.

Does a dripping faucet damage anything over time?

Yes — a persistent drip stains the sink basin, wears the valve seat faster (accelerating the drip rate), and can cause mineral buildup on porcelain or stainless fixtures. A leaking base gasket can allow water to seep under the sink and cause cabinet damage.

Should I repair or replace a dripping faucet?

Repair is usually the right call for faucets in good physical condition — a dripping faucet typically needs a $5–$20 cartridge or washer. Replace if the faucet body is corroded, the finish is deteriorated, or the replacement parts cost more than a new faucet.
