Faucet Repair & Installation in Milwaukie, Oregon
A dripping faucet is more than an annoyance — it wastes water every hour and usually means a worn cartridge, not a bad washer. In Milwaukie's older bungalows and family homes, decades-old fixtures and mineral-heavy well water take a toll on faucets. We fix the drip, restore the flow, or swap in a new fixture and do it without leaving a mess.

Signs Your Faucet Needs Attention
- A steady drip that a new washer didn't fix
- Weak or sputtering flow from the spout
- A handle that's stiff, loose, or hard to turn
- Water pooling around the base of the faucet
- Mineral crust building up on the aerator and spout
- A shutoff valve under the sink that won't fully close
Well Water, Old Fixtures, and Why Faucets Wear Here
Milwaukie's municipal water comes from local wells, and that groundwater carries dissolved minerals that leave scale behind — on aerators, on cartridges, and on the little seats and springs inside a faucet. In an older bungalow with original or builder-grade fixtures, that scale plus decades of use is why a faucet starts dripping, sticking, or losing flow. Sometimes a cartridge swap brings it back to life; sometimes the fixture is simply worn out and a modern faucet is the better value. We'll tell you honestly which one you've got.
- We stock common cartridges to fix many faucets in one visit
- Clean installs on fixtures you supply
- We check and replace failing shutoff valves while we're under there
- No drips left behind — we test everything before we go

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my faucet drip even after a new washer?
Most modern faucets use a cartridge, ball, or ceramic disc — not a washer. A persistent drip usually means a worn or scaled cartridge, and Milwaukie's well water scales those up faster than you'd expect.
Weak flow — faucet or house?
Check the aerator first for mineral crust; our groundwater clogs them over time. If cleaning it doesn't help, the cartridge may be restricted, or a multi-faucet problem may point to supply lines or pressure.
Repair or replace?
A quality faucet with available parts is usually worth a cartridge repair. Older builder-grade fixtures with failing finishes and scarce parts often cost less to replace than to keep fixing.
Can you install a faucet I bought?
Yes — we install your kitchen, bath, or bar faucet with new supply lines and a proper seal, and we make sure the old under-sink shutoffs actually work.
