Faucet Types

There are four main types of faucets. All but compression faucets are referred to as “washerless,” but these still use O-rings and/or neoprene seals that are a common cause of leaks.

  • Ball These employ an inner ball mechanism to let you control both flow and temperature from a single lever.  The mechanism is pretty complicated and it can be more than a bit difficult to disassemble, clean, replace seals, and reassemble.
  • Cartridge This type puts all the commonly replaced parts into a single assembly that you replace all at once.  That’s a lot simpler, but the cartridge itself is more expensive.
  • Ceramic Disk Here a disk of ceramic material forms the final seal that shuts off flowing water.  Popular in premium faucets, the disk is easily damaged during replacement.
  • Compression The oldest style, using flat washers that are easily replaceable.  They’re commonly found in bathrooms, laundry rooms, and commercial utility closets.  If there’s a handle you rotate it’s probably a compression type.

As additional variations, some designs mount directly to the sink assembly while others mount through the counter top.

FAUCET REPAIR

There are many sources of plumbing problems for any type of faucet.  Friction causes mechanical parts to wear out.  O-rings and other seals wear and “dry” with age, and they can be damaged.  Parts break from stress, especially after corrosion has weakened them.  Mineral deposits increase wear and can directly cause leaks by preventing seals from “seating” properly.

TIP:  If you find it necessary to turn a compression faucet harder and harder to shut it off that means it’s time for a new washer.  Tightening it too hard can cause damage and require an entire new faucet rather than a repair.

Starting with where the leak is (around the handle or dripping out the spout) our commercial and residential plumbing experts quickly diagnose what needs to be done.  That could be anything from tightening a cap or handle to cleaning and replacing all seals.

FAUCET REPLACEMENT

If there’s extensive wear, heavy corrosion, excessive mineral deposits, or a cracked body it’s necessary to replace the entire faucet.  Our professional services cover those plumbing needs as well as new faucet installation for residential kitchen and bathroom remodels (showers, tubs, and sinks) as well as commercial fixtures.

TIP:  The leading home brands Moen and Delta balance cost, looks, and durability in their various product lines.
