Bathroom Faucet Repair in Las Vegas
A bathroom faucet that drips after you shut it off needs a cartridge or seat, not a tighter handle. Forcing the handle to stop the drip is what wears the seat further and turns a small job into a replacement.
Where it is in a valley home
Above the counter: the handle or handles, the cartridge inside the body, the aerator at the spout tip, and the pop-up lift rod behind the tap.
What usually goes wrong
- Hard water scales the cartridge and the seat, so handles stiffen and the tap drips even when closed hard.
- The aerator blocks and the stream splits or spits, which reads as a pressure problem but is local to that tap.
- The lift rod seizes or drops, so the pop-up will not hold water.
What to check first
- 1
Soak the aerator in vinegar before assuming anything about pressure.
- 2
Check whether both hot and cold are affected, which separates a cartridge from a supply stop.
- 3
Stop over-tightening a dripping handle, since that damages the seat it is trying to close against.
Call us when the cartridge is seized, the valve body itself weeps, or the same tap has been rebuilt before.
That is usually replacing a worn cartridge, and it is what we would send someone out for.
