Faucet Repair

Faucet Repair in Farmington

Kitchen, Bathroom & Outdoor Faucet Repairs by Licensed Farmington Plumbers

A dripping faucet isn’t just annoying. According to the EPA, one drip per second wastes more than 3,000 gallons of water per year, and that shows up on your utility bill. At R.A. Biel Plumbing & Heating, Inc., we’ve been fixing faucets for Farmington homeowners since 1988. That’s over 35 years of licensed plumbing service backed by three generations of family ownership. Whether the problem is in your kitchen, bathroom, or outside, we diagnose it correctly and work to fix it right the first time.

Our team handles dripping faucets, leaks at the base, low water pressure, and worn internal components across all faucet types. We serve Farmington and Aztec, with same-day and weekend appointments available when you need help sooner rather than later.

Most faucet repairs come down to a handful of worn parts: washers, O-rings, cartridges, or valve seats. These components degrade with repeated use and eventually stop forming a proper seal. When the faucet body is in good shape and only one internal part has failed, repair is almost always the right call. Replacement makes more sense when the faucet is corroded, has failed multiple times, or is a style you want to update. We diagnose the root cause before recommending anything. Not every drip needs a new faucet.

Ready to stop that drip? Call R.A. Biel Plumbing & Heating, Inc. at (505) 278-5112 to schedule your faucet repair. Same-day and weekend appointments are available.

Common Faucet Problems Farmington Homeowners Run Into

Most faucet issues follow recognizable patterns. Knowing what’s likely behind the symptom helps you describe the problem when you call and helps us arrive prepared.

Dripping at the spout: Usually a worn washer or cartridge that no longer seats flush against the valve. It starts as a slow drip and worsens over time.
Leaking at the base or handles: Typically a failed O-ring or a loose packing nut. The faucet itself may work fine, but water pools around the base after use.
Handles that are hard to turn or feel loose: Often caused by mineral buildup from hard water or a deteriorated stem inside the handle assembly.
Low pressure at one faucet only: If pressure is fine everywhere else in the house, the aerator is usually clogged, or the supply valve under the sink is partially closed.
Temperature that won’t hold or swings unpredictably: A common sign of a faulty cartridge in a single-handle faucet, where one component controls both flow and temperature.

Repair or Replace: How to Think About It

The answer depends on the faucet’s age, condition, and what has actually failed. Faucets under 10 years old with a single failing component are almost always worth repairing. When repair costs approach the price of a new faucet, or when the same faucet has failed repeatedly, replacement usually delivers better long-term value.

Parts availability matters too. Discontinued models sometimes can’t be repaired simply because the internal components are no longer manufactured. We can check that before you spend money on a visit that won’t resolve the issue. If replacement is the right move, water-efficient models can reduce usage at that fixture over time. Financing is available for larger fixture projects if the scope of work grows beyond a simple repair.

We diagnose the cause first, then give you a straight answer on whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation and your budget. Every repair and installation gets top-quality parts. No shortcuts.

Faucet Types We Service & What to Expect From Your Visit

Different faucet designs fail in different ways. Knowing which type you have can help narrow down the likely cause before we even arrive.

Faucet Types We Service

Ball faucets are common in kitchens and use a rotating ball to control flow and temperature. The springs, seats, and O-rings inside wear over time and are a frequent source of dripping.
Cartridge faucets come in single- and double-handle versions. A worn cartridge is the most common cause of dripping or unpredictable temperature control in these fixtures.
Ceramic disc faucets are built to last but can develop leaks if the ceramic discs chip or sediment accumulates in the cylinder over time.
Compression faucets are the oldest design and the most prone to dripping because they rely on a rubber washer that compresses against a seat every time the handle turns.

What to Expect From Your Service Visit

A typical visit follows a straightforward process: we diagnose the problem, identify the correct replacement part, complete the repair, and test for leaks before we leave. You won’t be left wondering if it’s fixed.

To help things go smoothly, clear under-sink storage so we have easy access to the supply valves. If you know your faucet’s brand or model, have that handy. It’s not required, but it can speed up parts sourcing on less common fixtures.
