Common Signs You Need Faucet Repair & Installation
Don’t ignore the small issues before they become big water damage problems.
- Constant Dripping: You hear a “drip-drip” sound even when the handle is off.
- Squeaky Handles: The faucet screams or squeaks when you turn it on.
- Irregular Water Flow: Water spits, sprays, or comes out in a trickle.
- Spitting Water: Air trapped in the lines causes the faucet to sputter.
- Rust and Corrosion: Visible rust around the base or on the drain stopper.
- Water Puddles: You find water pooling on the counter or under the sink cabinet.
- Skyrocketing Bills: Your water usage has jumped without a change in habits.
- Dated Appearance: The fixture looks old, faded, or doesn’t match your decor.
- Loose Handles: The handle wiggles or feels disconnected from the stem.
Common Faucet Problems We Solve
We diagnose the root cause of the leak rather than just applying a quick bandage.
- Worn O-Rings: The most common cause of dripping faucets in cartridge-style models.
- Corroded Valve Seats: Mineral deposits ruin the seal between the faucet and spout.
- Mineral Buildup: Hard water scales that block flow and damage internal parts.
- Broken Washers: Friction wears down rubber washers, leading to leaks around the spout.
- Damaged Cartridges: Internal mechanisms that crack or wear out over time.
- Improper Installation: Fixing DIY mistakes that lead to loose connections or low pressure.
- Water Pressure Issues: Regulating pressure that is too high (damaging seals) or too low.
- Loose Packing Nuts: Tightening or replacing nuts that cause leaks near the handle.
Many of these issues are specific to the water quality found in the Maryland suburbs, and we know exactly how to fix them.
Professional Faucet Repair & Installation Experts | Straw Hat Plumbing
At Straw Hat Plumbing, we specialize in comprehensive Faucet Repair & Installation services that combine functionality with aesthetics.
Faucets are the most frequently used fixtures in your home, acting as the primary delivery point for clean water. When they malfunction, it disrupts cooking, cleaning, and hygiene.
Our service begins with a thorough assessment. We check the water pressure, examine the condition of the supply lines, and identify the exact failure point of your current fixture. If a repair is cost-effective, we carry high-quality washers, cartridges, and seals to fix it on the spot.
If the unit is beyond repair or you simply want an upgrade, we provide professional installation of top brands like Moen, Delta, Kohler, and more. We serve the entire I-270 corridor and surrounding neighborhoods, ensuring your plumbing works seamlessly.

Whether you need a widespread faucet for a master bath or a single-handle centerset for a powder room, we handle it. We fix drips that keep you awake at night and install modern fixtures that conserve water.
