Faucet, Sink and Garbage Disposal Repair in Las Vegas

Faucet Problems We Repair

• A faucet that keeps dripping after it is turned off
• Water leaking around the handle or at the base of the faucet
• Low flow from one faucet while other fixtures are normal
• A handle that is loose, stiff or hard to turn
• A sprayer or pull-down hose that leaks
• Water under the sink near the faucet connections

If the water is coming from under the sink rather than the faucet itself, see our under-counter leak repair service, which covers supply lines, shutoff valves (angle stops) and sink connections.

Repair or Replace the Faucet?

Many faucet problems can be fixed by replacing worn internal parts. Replacement makes more sense when the faucet body is cracked or corroded, when parts for that model are not available, or when the same problem keeps coming back. The plumber checks the faucet and explains which option fits before any work begins.

Sink Drain and Under-Sink Leaks

A sink that drains slowly or backs up is usually a drain problem, not a faucet problem. Our drain cleaning service covers kitchen, bathroom and utility sink clogs.

If you find water inside the cabinet, the leak can be at the faucet connection, the supply line, the shutoff valve, the drain or the disposal. The plumber investigates the source before recommending a repair. If the shutoff under the sink will not stop the water, our guide When a Sink or Toilet Shutoff Valve Will Not Stop the Water explains what to do.

Garbage Disposal Problems

• The disposal hums but does not turn
• It shuts off or will not start
• Water leaks from the bottom of the unit or from its connections
• Water backs up into the sink when the disposal runs
• Grinding or rattling noises
• Repeated clogs in the kitchen sink

Repair or Replace the Disposal?

A jam or a loose connection can often be fixed. A disposal that leaks from the bottom of the unit itself often needs to be replaced, and replacement can also be the better choice when the unit is old or the same problem keeps returning. The plumber explains what was found and the options before any work begins. If the problem turns out to be the outlet, switch or wiring rather than the disposal, that is electrical work, and we will tell you.

What to Do Before We Arrive

• Turn the disposal off and leave it off if it hums, smells hot or will not turn.
• Never put your hand inside the disposal.
• Do not pour chemical drain cleaners into a sink or disposal.
• If water is leaking from the faucet or its supply connections, close the shutoff valve under the sink if it turns easily. Do not force a valve that is stuck. If the valve does not stop the water, use your main water shutoff.
• If the leak is coming from the drain, the disposal or the pipes below the sink, closing the supply valve may not stop it. Stop using the sink, dishwasher and disposal until the leak is repaired.
• In an apartment, condo or other shared building, contact building management or the emergency maintenance line instead of operating shared valves.

What to Have Ready When You Call

• Which fixture: kitchen sink, bathroom sink, bar sink, utility sink or disposal
• What you see or hear: drip, leak at the base, water in the cabinet, hum, noise or backup
• When it started and whether it is getting worse
• The faucet or disposal brand, if you know it
• For businesses: which restroom or kitchen, and when the fixture can be taken out of service
