Why Your Faucet Matters More Than You Think
A faucet is a small fixture with a big job. It influences:
- Water costs: A slow drip can waste gallons per day.
- Hygiene & convenience: Reliable handwashing, cooking, cleaning, and bathing.
- Design & value: The right faucet elevates kitchen and bath aesthetics instantly.
- Longevity of your plumbing: A failing faucet can stress supply lines, valves, and seals.
Repair First, Replace When It’s Right
We believe in repair-first honesty. If a precise, durable fix makes sense, we’ll do that before suggesting replacement.
Common fixes we handle fast:
- Leaking spouts or handles: Cartridge, O-ring, or washer replacements that stop the drip.
- Low water pressure: Aerator cleaning, hidden debris removal, or supply line corrections.
- Temperature fluctuations: Mixing valve and cartridge calibration.
- Noisy operation: Diagnosing water hammer, loose mounting, or worn internal parts.
- Finish issues: Guidance on cleaning methods that protect modern finishes from etching.
When repair isn’t the best long-term value—corroded bodies, discontinued internals, or chronic leaks—we’ll recommend a replacement that fits your style, budget, and water-use goals.
Replacement That Feels Like an Upgrade
Swapping a faucet shouldn’t be a hassle. We make it a smooth, one-visit upgrade.
What you can expect from Plumber Pro:
- Thoughtful selection help: Single-handle vs. widespread, pull-down vs. pull-out, touch/touchless, and ADA-friendly options.
- Finish that lasts: Chrome, stainless/“brushed nickel,” matte black, brass, or two-tone—matched to your fixtures and hardware.
- Smart water savings: EPA WaterSense and high-efficiency options that protect pressure while trimming usage.
- Future-proof choices: Ceramic disc cartridges, durable supply lines, and valve compatibility that simplify future repairs.
We’ll remove your old faucet, inspect shutoff valves, clean the deck or sink holes, install the new fixture to spec, and verify every connection. No drips, no mess—just crisp, confident operation.
Installation Done Right (the First Time)
Remodeling a kitchen or refreshing a bath? Proper faucet installation is about more than tightening a nut.
Our installation standards:
- Code-correct connections: Quality supply lines, secure escutcheons, and leak-free seals.
- Perfect alignment: Handles that stop precisely, spouts centered over sinks, and sprayers that retract smoothly.
- Integrated accessories: Soap dispensers, filtered water taps, bar sinks, pot fillers, and instant-hot systems.
- Under-sink upgrades: New angle stops, braided lines, and clean, labeled shutoffs for easy future service.
Athens-Smart Advice for Long-Term Performance
Know your water: Mineral content varies; periodic aerator cleaning and cartridge maintenance keep flow strong.- Protect the finish: Avoid harsh abrasives; a soft cloth and mild soap preserve modern coatings.
- Use the shutoffs: If you sense a leak, turn off the local valves and call us—fast action saves cabinets and flooring.
- Think system-wide: A “simple” faucet issue can reveal aging valves or supply lines. We’ll assess the whole picture so you’re not fixing the same corner twice.

FAQs
Q: My faucet drips only at night. Is that normal?
A: No. Nighttime silence just makes it easier to hear. A worn cartridge, O-ring, or seat is likely. We can fix this quickly.
Q: Should I choose touchless?
A: Touchless is great for kitchens and commercial restrooms. We’ll verify power (battery vs. plug-in), sink clearance, and splash patterns so it works flawlessly.
Q: Can you replace just the faucet without changing the sink or countertop?
A: Absolutely. We’ll match your hole configuration (single-hole, 4-inch centerset, 8-inch widespread) and provide plates or gaskets as needed.
Q: What brands do you install?
A: We service and install all major brands and will steer you toward models with reliable cartridges, easy-to-find parts, and strong warranties.
