Faucet & Sink Repair in Wayne, NJ
A dripping faucet, low pressure at one fixture, or water pooling under the sink all point to a specific, fixable cause. We diagnose and repair faucets and sinks across Wayne, with an upfront price before any work starts.
Common Faucet & Sink Problems
- ✓A persistent drip even when the faucet is fully shut off.
- ✓Low water pressure at one specific fixture, not the whole house.
- ✓Water pooling under the sink, often a supply line or P-trap issue rather than the faucet itself.
- ✓A loose or wobbly faucet base, usually worn mounting hardware underneath the sink deck.
- ✓A slow-draining sink that a plunger doesn't fully clear.
Why the Fix Depends on the Faucet Type
A dripping compression faucet, common in older Wayne homes, usually needs a simple washer replacement. Newer cartridge, ball, or ceramic disc faucets fail differently, and using the wrong repair approach on the wrong mechanism often makes the leak worse rather than better. That's why we identify the actual faucet type before quoting a fix, rather than assuming every drip has the same cause.
Kitchen faucets with a pull-down sprayer add another common failure point: the internal hose and its diverter valve wear out independently of the main faucet body, which is why a kitchen faucet can develop a new leak or lose spray function even after the main valve was already replaced once.
Bathroom sink faucets tend to fail differently, more often from mineral buildup inside the aerator or valve restricting flow than from an outright leak, which is why a sudden drop in pressure at just one sink is worth checking before assuming it's a bigger plumbing issue. According to plumbing code standards followed across New Jersey, supply line and shutoff valve work should isolate each fixture independently, which is what makes an under-sink repair possible without shutting off water to the whole house.

How We Diagnose a Faucet or Sink Issue
Faucet Internals
Washers, O-rings, and cartridges wear differently by faucet type, and we match the fix to the actual mechanism.
Supply Lines
A failing flexible supply line connection is a common, easy-to-miss cause of under-sink pooling.
P-Trap & Drain Assembly
A worn seal or crack here mimics a faucet leak but needs a different fix entirely.
Water Pressure
Low pressure at one fixture only usually points to a clogged aerator or a partially closed shutoff valve, not a house-wide issue.
What Affects the Price
A note on under-sink leaks specifically: a flexible braided supply line has a limited service life, typically 8-10 years, and replacing an aging one proactively during another repair is often worth doing rather than waiting for it to fail at an inconvenient time.

Common Questions
A persistent drip usually means a worn washer, O-ring, or cartridge inside the faucet, depending on the faucet type. It's a straightforward repair in most cases.
That's usually a failing supply line connection, a worn P-trap seal, or a crack in the drain assembly, not the faucet itself. We check the whole under-sink assembly, not just the visible drip.
Yes, we can source and install a specific brand or finish, or work with a faucet you've already purchased.
A slow drip adds up on your water bill over time and often gets worse rather than better, so it's worth addressing before it becomes a bigger repair.
