Loose Faucet: Loose valves and faucets can easily separate from their water supply lines for various reasons. Sometimes the separation can occur while tuning the valve on or off due to excessive pressure. Loose spouts and valves in showers, tubs, bathroom and kitchen sinks, etc.; can allow water to run inside and outside the wall or under counter tops.

Leaking/Dripping Faucet: There are four major types of faucets; ball, ceramic disk, compression and cartridge. Faucets in your bathroom, tub, shower or kitchen are all for the most part the same and are based upon the four major design types. When a faucet is leaking, not only is it costly but it is a waste of water going against water conservation needs. A steady drip can waste up to $25 or more in a short time. Imagine more than one faucet dripping at the same time in your home, and calculate how much of your money is literally going down the drain. The waste from a dripping hot water faucet costs even more, you are now also paying to heat the water.
Loose Faucet sprayer: Most modern sink faucets are accompanied with spray hose units, these units eventually leak, malfunction, become loose, or stop working all together. The faucet assembly consists of: a diverter valve within the spout body, a flexible hose connected to the spout under the sink, a spray head with an activating lever and an aerator assembly. The spray head body and lever are part of a sealed unit; if it malfunctions, the unit must be replaced with an identical or universal unit. Other parts of the spray system, however, can be repaired. * Water conservation tip – Installing low-flow aerated faucets on your sinks can save you hundreds of gallons a week.
Sprayer not working: The aerator portion of the spray head is similar to a faucet aerator. If aeration is inadequate or if water squirts out at various angles, the aerator screen may be clogged with sediment or mineral deposits, which requires cleaning, or it may be out of position and requires an adjustment. You may also have a deposit of lime in the diverter or sprayer or both. Remove the sink screen, aerator and diverter at the faucet outlet. Clean them by soaking them in vinegar or lime away. Do the same with the sprayer nozzle. If this doesn’t do the trick, contact Quick Action Plumbers for a speedy repair.
Noisy Faucet: There are several possible causes for these noises, a faucet can whistle, scream, or chatter when you turn them on or off. If your house is newly built, you may have pipes that are too small to allow the water to pass through them properly. Similarly, pipes in older homes can become restricted by the formation of scale, indicated by a noisy faucet. In either case, you must replace the pipes to get rid of the noise, which is not really a quick fix. Most likely, however, your noisy faucet is caused by a washer that is either the wrong size or is not held securely to the stem. Quick Action Plumbers can repair all these problems, returning your home to silence and removing the terrors of turning on a faucet.
Low water pressure: Many of today’s modern faucets have washerless cartridges, instead of the old stem washer and seat style, inside the body of the faucet. The pathway through which water passes in these cartridges is much smaller than old faucets. Also, most faucets have an aerator at the end of the faucet. The water flowing from the faucet must pass through tiny orifices, which can get clogged with debris quite easily. In addition, the newer faucets are designed to meet federal and state guidelines which conserve water. Many modern faucets and fixtures have flow restrictions that limit the amount of water that can pass through the faucet in a given amount of time, saving water and money. Instead of replacing the faucet with low pressure; let Quick Action Plumbers attempt to repair the faucet first.
