Why Is My Kitchen Faucet Leaking in Durham?
The Problem
A homeowner in Durham noticed their kitchen faucet was leaking, causing water to pool around the sink.
What We Found
Nick found that the existing faucet had worn seals and connections, leading to the persistent leak.
The Fix
Nick and Chris installed a new touch kitchen faucet provided by the homeowner. They ensured all shutoffs under the sink were functional, connected the water supply lines, and flushed the tank-type water heater. Additionally, they installed a temperature and pressure relief drop to enhance safety.
The Result
After completing the installation and testing, the new faucet functioned perfectly without any leaks.
Pro Tip
If your kitchen faucet starts leaking, check for worn seals or loose connections. Replacing these early can prevent water damage and save on costly repairs.

Fixture Upgrade and Repair in Durham
The Problem
The homeowner was experiencing issues with the temperature control in the master bath shower and needed flapper replacements throughout the home.
What We Found
Nick found that the existing thermostat temperature control on the GROHE shower valve was incompatible with the new cartridge due to it being an older model.
The Fix
Nick replaced five Kohler-specific flappers throughout the home. He attempted to install a new GROHE cartridge in the master bath shower but discovered it was incompatible. After consulting with the manufacturer, he expedited the correct part to the homeowner for a future installation.
The Result
The flappers were successfully replaced, and the correct shower valve part is on its way for a follow-up repair.
Pro Tip
When replacing fixtures, always verify the model and compatibility to avoid installation issues.

Frequently Asked Questions About Faucet & Fixture Services in Durham
Answered by our licensed technicians serving Durham
Can you install a faucet I purchased myself?
Absolutely. We're happy to install customer-supplied faucets. Just make sure the faucet is compatible with your sink's hole configuration (single-hole, three-hole, or widespread). If you're unsure, send us a photo and we'll confirm before your appointment.
How long does a faucet installation take?
A straightforward faucet replacement typically takes 45 minutes to an hour. If we need to replace shut-off valves or supply lines — which we often recommend in older Apex homes — add another 20 to 30 minutes.
Is it worth repairing my old faucet or should I replace it?
If your faucet is less than 10 years old and the issue is a worn cartridge or O-ring, repair is usually the most cost-effective choice. For older faucets with multiple problems, corroded bodies, or discontinued parts, replacement gives you better long-term value and improved water efficiency.
What faucet brands do you recommend for hard water areas?
We frequently recommend Delta with Diamond Seal technology, Moen with their Duralast cartridge, and Kohler ceramic disc models. These are specifically designed to resist mineral buildup and maintain smooth operation for years in hard water conditions like we have in the Triangle.
