Common faucet and sink leaks we diagnose
Faucet leaks can come from the faucet body, internal cartridge, handle, base, supply line, shutoff valve, sprayer hose, or drain assembly.

Should you repair or replace a leaking faucet?
Many faucet leaks can be repaired with a cartridge, washer, O-ring, supply line, or shutoff valve. Replacement may be better when the faucet is old, corroded, loose, difficult to source parts for, repeatedly leaking, or the fixture finish and performance are already poor.
We find the leak source
A dripping spout, leaking base, wet cabinet, and loose handle can each point to a different repair.
We check the shutoff valves
If the valves under the sink are old, stuck, or leaking, they may need replacement before the faucet can be safely repaired.
We inspect supply lines and connections
Many under-sink leaks come from supply lines, compression fittings, sprayer hoses, or loose connections.
We evaluate faucet condition
If the faucet is corroded, loose, or worn out, replacement may be more reliable than repeated part repairs.
We explain the practical option
You get a clear recommendation based on leak source, faucet age, parts availability, water damage risk, and long-term reliability.

Why faucet leaks happen in Leesburg homes
Faucet and sink leaks can be caused by age, hard water, high water pressure, worn cartridges, old shutoff valves, loose supply lines, and fixture corrosion.
Hard Water Buildup
Mineral scale can affect cartridges, aerators, handles, sprayers, and small moving parts inside faucets.
Pressure & Valve Issues
High water pressure or old shutoff valves can increase leak risk and make emergency shutoff harder.
Older Fixtures
Older faucets, supply lines, drains, and shutoff valves are more likely to leak, corrode, or fail.
How to reduce faucet and sink leak problems
Simple checks can help prevent small faucet leaks from becoming cabinet damage or emergency plumbing repairs.
Check Under the Sink
Look for dampness, staining, swelling, rust, or active drips under kitchen and bathroom sinks.
Test Shutoff Valves
Old shutoff valves should work before a faucet or supply line leak becomes urgent.
Clean Aerators
Low flow can sometimes come from mineral buildup in the aerator, especially in hard water homes.
Repair Drips Early
A small drip can waste water and may become a larger cartridge, valve, or fixture issue over time.
Replace Old Supply Lines
Old, kinked, corroded, or unreliable supply lines can cause sudden leaks under sinks.
Address Hard Water
Hard water treatment may help reduce scale buildup affecting faucets, showerheads, and water heaters.

Faucet Leak Repair Leesburg VA FAQs
These are common questions homeowners ask before scheduling faucet leak repair or sink leak service.
Why does my faucet keep dripping?
A faucet may keep dripping because of a worn cartridge, washer, O-ring, seal, valve seat, or internal faucet part. Hard water buildup and age can also make faucet parts fail sooner.
What should I do if water is leaking under the sink?
Turn off the shutoff valve under the sink if it works. Place a towel or bucket if safe, remove stored items from the cabinet, and call for service. If the shutoff valve does not stop the water, the main water supply may need to be shut off.
Can a leaking faucet cause water damage?
Yes. A leak under the sink or around the faucet base can damage cabinet floors, countertops, drywall, flooring, and stored items. Even small leaks should be repaired before they spread.
Should I repair or replace my faucet?
Repair may make sense if the faucet is newer and the issue is a cartridge, washer, seal, or supply line. Replacement may be better if the faucet is old, corroded, loose, repeatedly leaking, or parts are difficult to find.
Why is my faucet water pressure low?
Low flow can be caused by a clogged aerator, hard water scale, partially closed shutoff valve, supply line restriction, cartridge issue, or broader water pressure problem.
Can hard water cause faucet problems?
Yes. Hard water can create mineral buildup in aerators, cartridges, sprayers, showerheads, valves, and small faucet parts. This can cause low flow, sticking handles, and more frequent repairs.
