A dripping faucet wastes 3,000 gallons a year. We repair all faucet types and replace outdoor faucets with frost-free models that protect against High Point's winter freezes.
A faucet dripping once per second wastes approximately 3,000 gallons of water annually. At High Point Water Resources rates, that's $15โ$30 per year per dripping faucet โ and that drip is a failing seal that will eventually become a significant leak. Most faucet repairs take under an hour and cost $100โ$200 for a professional service call.
Outdoor faucets deserve special attention in High Point. Standard exterior hose bibs have their valve seat at the exterior wall, leaving the outdoor pipe section filled with water โ vulnerable to any freeze below 28ยฐF. Frost-free sillcocks move the valve seat 8โ12 inches inside the heated wall, draining the vulnerable section after use. Replacing standard hose bibs with frost-free models is one of the most cost-effective winterization upgrades for any High Point home.

Cartridge replacement is almost always worth it on a quality faucet. On a 20+ year faucet with a failing body or corroded finish, replacement is often better value.
We carry common cartridges and repair kits on our trucks. For specific fixture models, we can source parts and return same-day or next day.
We run the faucet through hot and cold cycles, check for dripping, and inspect all supply connections before leaving.

We strongly recommend frost-free hose bib replacement for any High Point home with standard exterior faucets โ it's a $175โ$325 investment that prevents a $400โ$900 burst pipe repair.
We tell you when a cartridge swap saves the day vs. when an aging fixture is better replaced. No unnecessary upselling.
Kitchen faucet dripping for months. They replaced the cartridge in 30 minutes. Faucet works perfectly and they showed me how to tell when it needs attention again. Quick, professional, fair price.
Had two standard outdoor faucets replaced with frost-free models before winter. A very reasonable price and they explained exactly why it matters for homes in our area. Already paid for itself โ no frozen pipes last winter.
Our PRV was failing and we had pressure swings throughout the house. They replaced it same day and the pressure has been steady and strong ever since. Should have done it years ago.
Many faucet repairs are DIY-friendly โ replacing a flapper, swapping a cartridge on a single-handle faucet, or tightening a packing nut. The main risk is identifying the faucet type correctly and getting the right replacement cartridge or seats. If you're comfortable turning off the supply stop under the sink and have basic tools, DIY is viable. If you're not sure, a $100โ$200 service call is worth the confidence that it's done correctly.
A frost-free sillcock (hose bib) has its valve seat 8โ12 inches inside the wall, so the outdoor pipe section drains after the faucet is closed. Standard hose bibs leave the outdoor section filled with water, vulnerable to any freeze below 28ยฐF. For High Point homes with standard exterior faucets, upgrading to frost-free is one of the best-value winterization investments โ $175โ$325 vs. $400โ$900 for a burst pipe repair.
The most common cause: a garden hose was left attached to the faucet. Frost-free sillcocks drain after closing only if no hose is connected. A hose blocks drainage and traps water in the vulnerable outdoor section. Always disconnect hoses before any forecast below 28ยฐF, regardless of faucet type.
A pressure-reducing valve (PRV) maintains safe water pressure inside your home from the municipal supply. All High Point homes should have one. PRVs last 10โ15 years. Signs of failure: water hammer (banging in pipes), pressure that varies widely, or pressure consistently above 80 PSI. A failing PRV stresses all fixtures and appliances and can accelerate pipe wear throughout the home.
Key considerations: finish (match your sink/hardware), number of mounting holes (1 or 3-hole sink), single or double handle preference, and spout height. We can install any customer-supplied faucet, or supply a quality mid-range replacement from brands like Moen or Delta. Ask us for a recommendation based on your budget and sink configuration.
