Faucet Repair in Tolleson, AZ

A Tolleson faucet that drips or sticks usually has a worn washer, cartridge or O-ring, and mineral buildup can speed that wear. Most faucets can be rebuilt; older or damaged ones are better replaced. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Tolleson.

Tolleson water in short

The City of Tolleson provides and bills for both water and sewer. Its supply combines city wells, treated with electro-dialysis reversal, and finished water bought from the City of Phoenix through two connections. The city's report lists chlorine and chloramine disinfection. A city water quality report put total hardness at 92 to 200 ppm, so mineral spots and some cartridge scale are normal here, though the water is not among the hardest in the Valley. The city also maintains a service line materials inventory that can be viewed through ADEQ's lead and copper page.

What to do right away

Shut the water at the sink. Close the two stops underneath. If they will not turn, shut the main.
Find the source. Dry the area, run the tap briefly and watch the spout, the base, the handle and the connections below.
Check the aerator. A clogged screen can cause spraying or weak flow without anything else being wrong.
Keep the cabinet dry. Put a bowl or towel under any drip.
Photograph the faucet. Get the brand name and the valves underneath in the picture.

When you call, you will be connected with an independent plumber who serves Tolleson. Plumber Phoenix is a referral line, not a plumbing company. Tell the plumber whether the faucet has one handle or two, whether the drip is new or has been growing, and whether you plan to add a filter or sprayer, so they can bring the right parts on the first trip.

Faucet Repair questions in Tolleson

What kind of filter faucet works with the disinfectant in my water?

Tolleson's water report lists both chlorine and chloramine disinfection. Standard carbon filters are built mainly for chlorine, so choose a cartridge rated for chloramine reduction if you want it handled.

How hard is the water here, and what does it do to faucets?

A City of Tolleson water quality report listed total hardness of 92 to 200 ppm. That is moderate for the Valley, enough to leave some scale on aerators and cartridges over time.

The angle stops under my sink won't turn. Is that a problem?

Yes, because you cannot shut off that faucet alone. Avoid forcing the handle; a plumber can replace the stop while working on the faucet.

When is it smarter to replace a faucet than rebuild it?

Replace when the body is cracked, parts are discontinued, or the finish is corroded. A sound faucet from a common brand is usually worth rebuilding.
