Faucets & Fixture Installation & Replacement in Colorado Springs, CO

Bath and kitchen faucets and fixtures probably aren’t something you think about regularly, but they are critical parts of your home. You may use your bathroom and kitchen faucet and fixtures dozens of times per day, so it is important to keep them in good working order, especially during the cold Colorado Springs, CO winters. 

While these components tend to have a relatively long life span, wear and tear will eventually get the best of any fixture. Finding a high-quality service provider is essential to making sure your kitchen and bathroom work properly. 

WireNut Home Services has been Colorado’s home comfort leader since 2004. We employ honest, hard-working technicians and service the Colorado Springs, Denver, Boulder County, and Pueblo County areas. 

Bathroom and Kitchen Faucets

Have you ever thought about how much you use the faucets in your bathroom and kitchen? Probably not! The average person only notices their taps when something is wrong — like poor water pressure or leaks. Since faucets are one of the most heavily used fixtures in bathrooms and kitchens, many things can go wrong.

Leaky Faucets

Faucet leaks are one of the most common problems in bathrooms and kitchens. Several things could be causing a leak, including:

Worn Washers

Washers are placed against the valve seat, the connection between the faucet and spout. Every time you turn on the tap, it causes friction between the washer and the valve seat. Over time, this friction causes wear and tear on the damage and can lead to a leak.

Worn Valve Seats

As mentioned, the valve seat is the connection between the faucet and spout. Lots of water passes the valve seat every day and can eventually corrode it, causing a leak.

O-Ring Damage

The O-ring is a disc attached to the screw that holds your sink stem in place. General wear and tear over time can stretch or deform the O-ring, leading to leaks.

Worn Seals

Seals play an important part in keeping the water contained in your faucet. Just like most parts, seals can wear out over time, especially if you have hard water or sediment that builds up in the tap.

Loose or Broken Parts

There are lots of individual components in your faucet, from packing nuts to pipes to fittings. If contractors didn’t install your faucet properly, there could be loose parts that cause a leak. Individual components can also break after heavy use over the years, which may also lead to leaks.

Other Faucet Problems

Unfortunately, leaks aren’t the only problem you may encounter with kitchen and bathroom faucets. Other common faucet problems include:

• Low water pressure
• Rusting
• Corrosion and calcium build up
• General wear and tear
• No water coming out of the faucet
• Dripping faucet
• Excessive faucet noise
• Faulty faucet sprayers

If you notice any of these issues, it is important to call a professional. Attempting to fix any of these problems yourself can cause more damage to the faucet and could end up costing you more in repair bills. In addition, improperly repaired faucets can be a safety hazard for you and your family.

Kitchen and Bathroom Plumbing Fixtures

If you haven’t thought about the faucets in your home recently, you probably haven’t thought about your bathroom and kitchen plumbing fixtures either. When it comes to your kitchen, you may only think of the kitchen and sink, but there are a lot of other types of kitchen fixtures, including:

• Pot-fillers
• Prep-faucets
• Prep-sink
• Disposals
• Filtered water dispensers
• Hot water dispensers 

There is a lot to consider and a lot of potential maintenance, depending on how many kitchen fixtures you have. The technicians at WireNut Home Services have years of experience and can help you select new fixtures, replace old ones, or repair existing ones.

In your bathroom, in addition to your faucet, your sink, tub, toilet, and shower are all bathroom water fixtures that may require repair or replacement at some point. Like faucets, these fixtures are heavily used and naturally experience wear and tear over time. Common issues with these fixtures include:

• Clogged drains
• Noisy pipes
• Inconsistent performance
• Leaks

Each of these systems contains unique and complex parts that work together in a specific way to meet your daily needs. Hiring a professional to inspect or repair these fixtures is the best thing you can do to get back to normal as soon as possible.
