The right part, not another tighten
A drip that won’t stop, a handle that’s gone loose or stiff, water that trickles instead of flows: worn internal parts, not a faucet that needs replacing, in most cases we see.
Why does a faucet keep dripping even after it’s been tightened?
A dripping faucet almost always means a worn seal inside it, not a loose handle. Modern faucets use a cartridge, ball, or ceramic disc mechanism to control flow, and any of those wears out over years of use the same way a car part does, letting a small amount of water past even when the handle is fully closed. Tightening the handle harder doesn’t fix a worn internal seal, and can actually strip the mechanism faster, which is why the same drip often returns within days of a DIY tighten.
The fix is replacing the specific worn part, cartridge, washer, or disc, matched to that faucet’s make and mechanism, which is usually a straightforward repair rather than a full faucet replacement. We carry the common cartridge types on the truck, so most repairs are finished in a single visit rather than requiring a return trip once the right part is identified.
What we repair
Worn cartridge, washer, or disc seal, depending on the faucet type. A steady drip can waste more water over a month than people expect.
Often a clogged aerator from mineral buildup, sometimes a failing cartridge restricting flow internally.
Usually a worn mounting hardware issue or a cartridge that’s started to bind, both straightforward to correct.
A worn O-ring where the faucet meets the sink deck, distinct from a drip at the spout and often mistaken for it.
Weston, specifically
One factor shapes a large share of the faucet calls we take across Weston.
A large share of Weston’s homes were fitted out during the same mid-1990s to early-2000s development wave, so faucet cartridges and internal seals across a whole neighborhood tend to wear out on a similar timeline, which is why we’re often repairing the same brand and mechanism in several homes on the same street.
South Florida’s water carries enough mineral content to accelerate buildup in an aerator or a cartridge’s moving parts, which is part of why a faucet that’s otherwise in good shape can still develop reduced flow over time.
Kitchen faucets in an average household see many times the daily use of a bathroom faucet, which is reflected in how often we’re called for kitchen repairs specifically versus other fixtures.
From the neighborhood

Read straight from the Google Business Profile on August 30, 2026. Counted, not estimated.
Open the Google profileWater stains on a corroding pipe fitting in a utility area. The plumbers repaired the fitting and tested the connections to the neighbours. We were happy that the problem was repaired cleanly.
After a big storm, our basement floor drain stopped working right. The plumber got rid of the blockage and checked the drainage lines around it. Water no longer pools on the floor but quickly flows through the drain.
Over the weekend, our main drain clogged, therefore we were in a hurry for assistance. Without damaging the surrounding environment, the plumber came with the necessary tools and removed the obstruction. …
Questions we get
In most cases, yes. Cartridges and seals are largely standardized by manufacturer and model, and we carry common parts on the truck for same-visit repairs.
If the faucet body itself is in good condition and it’s simply an internal part that’s worn, repair is usually the more sensible choice. We’ll say so honestly rather than push a replacement.
More than most people expect, since it’s continuous rather than occasional use. A faucet dripping steadily for weeks can add a noticeable amount to a water bill.
Yes, the same worn-part logic applies, and outdoor faucets see extra wear from irrigation use and exposure to the elements.
Yes, if you’re already having one repaired, mentioning a second issue elsewhere in the house at the time of booking saves you a separate trip.
Faucet still dripping?
A small fix now is cheaper than the water it wastes while it waits.
