Faucet & Sink Repair in Boca Raton, FL
A dripping faucet, a sink that drains slowly, or a fixture that's simply worn out and ready for an upgrade all fall under this service, and most repairs are diagnosed and fixed the same visit.
What's usually behind each symptom
Dripping faucet
Almost always a worn cartridge, O-ring, or washer inside the faucet body, a straightforward same-visit part swap.
Low water pressure at one fixture
Often a clogged aerator or, in older homes, mineral buildup restricting flow in the supply line to that specific fixture.
Leaking under the sink
Usually a worn P-trap connection or supply line fitting, distinct from a faucet issue and often a quick fix.
Florida's plumbing code, based on the International Plumbing Code (IPC), sets minimum flow-rate standards for new faucet installations, which is part of why a modern replacement faucet uses noticeably less water than an older fixture even at full flow.
Boca Raton's condo and townhome units, especially older ones, sometimes have original fixtures dating back to the building's construction. A faucet that's never been serviced in 20-30 years is a reasonable candidate for full replacement even without an active leak, simply on the basis of wear and mineral buildup inside the valve body.
We can quote both the repair and replacement options side by side during the visit so you can decide which makes more sense for a fixture that age, rather than committing to one before seeing the actual condition. This is especially worth doing before a broader kitchen or bathroom remodel, since replacing the faucet at the same time as other work avoids paying for a second service call later.
When it's worth fixing vs. upgrading
| Situation | Usual path |
|---|---|
| Dripping, otherwise functional | Cartridge or washer replacement |
| Loose or wobbly at the base | Tightening or gasket replacement |
| Cracked body or finish failing | Full faucet replacement |
| Outdated style during a remodel | Replacement, often paired with new sink |
What to check first
- • Check if the aerator (the small screen at the tip) is clogged before assuming a bigger issue.
- • If leaking under the sink, note whether it's from the supply lines, the drain, or the faucet base itself.
- • Know your faucet's approximate age and whether you'd like to keep the same style or upgrade.
If more than one fixture in the house shows reduced pressure at the same time, that's more likely a whole-house issue like a softener or a supply-line restriction than a coincidence of multiple faucets failing independently.

What a proper sink or faucet swap involves
Swapping a faucet isn't always plug-and-play. We check that supply line connectors match the new fixture's fittings, confirm the sink's mounting holes align with the new faucet's configuration (single-hole vs. widespread), and pressure-test the connections before calling the job finished. For a full sink replacement, we also verify the countertop cutout and existing plumbing rough-in are compatible with the new sink before ordering it.
Undermount sinks in particular need their mounting clips and adhesive properly set before the countertop weight rests on them permanently, a detail that's easy to rush and hard to fix after the fact once everything is sealed and in place.
Common questions
Yes, a slow drip can waste a meaningful amount of water over weeks and often signals a worn part that will only get worse.
Yes, including touchless, pull-down, and other modern faucet styles, with the battery or power connection handled as part of installation.
Usually yes, as long as the new sink's faucet holes match your existing faucet's configuration; we check this during the estimate.
That usually points to the P-trap, supply line fittings, or garbage disposal connection rather than the faucet itself; we check all three.

If the disposal or drain is involved
A slow-draining sink often points to the drain line rather than the faucet; drain cleaning covers that. If a garbage disposal is part of the setup, disposal repair is the related service. Not sure which applies? Call (561) 448-8545 and describe what you're seeing at the fixture.
