Faucet Service in Hillsboro
Hillsboro's two distinct housing eras create two distinct faucet situations. Downtown and Jackson School area homes from the 1950s–1970s have older fixtures with corroded shutoffs and supply connections that need evaluation when we replace a faucet. Newer Orenco Station and Tanasbourne homes have builder-grade faucets from the 1990s–2000s that are now showing their age — dripping, loose at the base, or simply outdated. Both are routine calls for us.
💧 Dripping Faucet Repair
Worn cartridges, O-rings, ceramic discs, and valve seats — we diagnose the actual cause and replace the right part. Most drip repairs are done in under an hour.
🔧 Faucet Replacement
New kitchen faucet, bathroom vanity faucet, or utility sink fixture — we install all brands and supply our own quality faucets or install yours.
🚰 Shutoff Valve Replacement
Old angle stop valves under sinks and toilets corrode and seize up — often discovered when you actually need to close them in an emergency. We replace corroded shutoffs while we're there.
🏠 Outdoor Hose Bibs
Frost-free hose bibs, leaking outdoor faucets, and hose bib replacements for Hillsboro's freeze-and-thaw seasons. A cracked hose bib left unrepaired can leak inside the wall.
🔩 Supply Line Replacement
Braided supply lines under sinks and toilets have a limited service life — we replace them when we're doing faucet work to prevent the surprise failure that floods a cabinet.
🛁 Tub & Laundry Faucets
Roman tub fillers, clawfoot tub faucets, laundry sink faucets, and utility connections — we handle the full range of fixture types in Hillsboro homes.
Most Common Faucet Problems in Hillsboro

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it worth repairing a dripping faucet in Hillsboro?
Almost always yes. A faucet that drips once per second wastes over 3,000 gallons of water per year. The repair — usually a cartridge, O-ring, or washer — costs a fraction of that in water bills. The only time replacement makes more sense than repair is when the faucet is 20+ years old, heavily corroded, or the parts are no longer available.
Can you install a faucet I already purchased in Hillsboro?
Yes — we install owner-supplied faucets regularly. We handle the removal of the old fixture, the shutoff valve check, supply line connections, and make sure everything seals correctly. If the existing shutoff valves are corroded and won't close properly, we'll replace those at the same time.
What causes a faucet to drip in a Hillsboro home?
The most common cause is a worn cartridge, O-ring, or ceramic disc inside the valve body — these components wear out over years of use and eventually allow water to pass even when the handle is closed. In older Hillsboro homes, mineral buildup from the water supply can accelerate this wear. A drip that starts small usually gets worse over time rather than resolving on its own.
