Dripping faucet, handle that won't stop, or low pressure from the aerator. In Austin, hard water mineral deposits at aerators and cartridges are the primary cause of faucet flow problems — and they don't clear on their own.
Austin's hard water (200–400 ppm) is the primary cause of faucet aerator clogs and cartridge failure in Austin homes. Mineral deposits build up at aerator screens and inside cartridges, reducing flow and causing drips. A dripping faucet wastes thousands of gallons per year. Hard water also corrodes faucet internals faster than in softer water areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my faucet drip in Austin?
Most faucet drips in Austin are caused by a worn cartridge or O-ring. Austin's hard water accelerates cartridge wear by depositing mineral scale inside the faucet body. A dripping faucet wastes thousands of gallons per year — it's worth fixing.
Can I clean a clogged faucet aerator myself?
Yes. Aerator cleaning is a DIY task — unscrew the aerator tip from the faucet spout, soak it in white vinegar for 30 minutes, rinse, and reinstall. If low pressure continues after cleaning, the cartridge or supply valve may need attention.
How much does faucet repair cost in Austin?
Cartridge replacement or O-ring repair typically runs $100–$250 depending on the faucet type. Fixture replacement (homeowner-supplied fixture) runs $150–$350 for labor. We present the price before any work begins.
Should I repair or replace a dripping faucet?
Repair makes sense for cartridge, O-ring, or valve seat issues — especially on quality fixtures. Replacement makes sense for faucets that are heavily corroded, have multiple issues, or are being updated as part of a renovation. We give you an honest recommendation.

"Kitchen drain was completely blocked. They came out, diagnosed it as a grease buildup 20 feet down the line, and cleared it the same day. Explained exactly what they found. Fair price, no upsell pressure."

"Water heater stopped heating on a Thursday. They had a replacement installed by Friday afternoon. Walked me through the options without pushing the expensive unit. Exactly what you want from a plumber."
Carrie B.

"Noticed my water bill jumped by $40 in one month. They found a slow slab leak under the master bathroom. The detection process was thorough — moisture meter, pressure test, the whole thing. Leak fixed, bill back to normal."
