Stop Drips and Restore Water Flow

Faucet repair and replacement services for kitchens and bathrooms throughout McHenry, Illinois.

When a faucet drips constantly in your McHenry home, you hear it every time you walk into the kitchen or bathroom, and you see water stains spreading across the sink and countertop. A leaking or malfunctioning faucet wastes water, damages cabinets, and creates frustration every time you try to adjust the temperature or flow. Homeowners across McHenry call for faucet repairs when handles become stiff, water pressure drops, or leaks appear around the base or spout.

Cosmic Plumbing LLC repairs faucets by replacing worn cartridges, O-rings, and valve seats that cause leaks and poor performance. If the faucet is too damaged or outdated, we remove the old unit and install a new one you select, connecting supply lines and testing for leaks. The work includes proper sealing to prevent water from seeping under the sink and damaging cabinets. You get a faucet that turns smoothly, delivers consistent water pressure, and stops completely when you shut it off.

If you need a faucet repaired or replaced in your McHenry home, contact Cosmic Plumbing LLC to schedule service.

What Changes After the Faucet Is Fixed

When Cosmic Plumbing LLC repairs a faucet in McHenry, we shut off the water supply, disassemble the faucet, and replace the components causing the leak or malfunction. For replacements, we disconnect the old faucet, clean the mounting area, and install the new unit with fresh supply lines and connections. You will see a faucet that looks clean, operates smoothly, and stops dripping the moment you turn the handle to the off position.

After the repair or replacement, your faucet delivers steady water pressure without sputtering or uneven flow. Handles turn easily without sticking or requiring excessive force, and water temperature adjusts predictably. The area under your sink stays dry because all connections are sealed and tested before we leave. You no longer hear dripping or see water pooling around the base of the faucet.

Faucet repairs typically involve replacing internal cartridges or O-rings, while replacements require selecting a new fixture that fits your sink's hole configuration. Cosmic Plumbing LLC installs faucets you purchase or provides recommendations based on your sink setup and preferences. The work takes a few hours, and you can use the sink again as soon as the installation is complete and tested for leaks.

What homeowners want to know before fixing faucets

Homeowners in McHenry ask whether a faucet can be repaired or needs replacement, how long the work takes, and what causes leaks to start. These questions help you understand what to expect during the service and how to prevent future problems.

How do you decide if a faucet needs repair or replacement?
We inspect the faucet for worn internal parts, corrosion, and the availability of replacement components. If the faucet is old, heavily corroded, or uses parts that are no longer available, replacement is often more practical than repair.
What causes a faucet to start dripping?
Most drips come from worn-out O-rings, cartridges, or valve seats inside the faucet that no longer seal tightly. Mineral buildup and corrosion can also damage these parts over time, allowing water to leak past the closure mechanism.
How long does it take to replace a faucet?
Most faucet replacements take one to two hours, including disconnecting the old unit, cleaning the mounting area, installing the new faucet, and testing for leaks. Complex installations with additional features may take longer.
Why is my faucet water pressure lower than it used to be?
Low pressure usually results from sediment or mineral buildup inside the aerator or faucet cartridge. Cosmic Plumbing LLC cleans or replaces these components to restore normal flow without affecting the rest of your plumbing system.
What type of faucet should I choose for replacement?
Your choice depends on your sink's hole configuration, style preference, and budget. Cosmic Plumbing LLC helps you select a faucet that fits your sink and meets your needs for durability and functionality.
