Faucet Repair and Installation in Burlington

When you need faucet repair and installation

Repairs cover drips from the spout, leaks around the handle or base, low flow from a clogged aerator or cartridge, and a sprayer that no longer diverts. Installation is called for when you are updating a kitchen or bathroom, when the old faucet is corroded beyond saving, or when you want a pull-down sprayer, touch control or a bar faucet for an island.

How the job is done

For repair, we identify the faucet type: compression washers, cartridge, ceramic disc or ball. The water is shut off, the handle removed and the worn part replaced with a matching one. The aerator is cleaned and the faucet flushed before reassembly.

For installation:

1. Shut-offs under the sink are tested; old multi-turn valves that will not close are replaced with quarter-turn valves.
2. The old faucet is removed with a basin wrench and the deck cleaned of old putty.
3. The new faucet is mounted, sealed to the counter or sink and connected with new supply lines.
4. Lines are flushed to clear debris before the aerator goes on, and connections are checked for leaks.

Burlington homes and this work

Many Burlington kitchens date from renovations in the 1990s and 2000s, with faucets now at the end of their useful life. Scale from the region's hard water wears cartridges and clogs aerators, so a drip often comes with weak flow. Undermount sinks in stone counters need care during removal to avoid chipping; we take time on those.

What affects the scope

• Faucet type and parts availability
• Condition of shut-off valves under the sink
• Counter material and number of holes
• Extra items such as a soap dispenser or filtered water tap

Before we arrive

Empty the cabinet under the sink. If you are supplying the faucet, have it unboxed so we can confirm all parts are present. Weighing a filter tap too? See water filtration systems.
