How we handle it
- Identify the part
Cartridge, washer, seat, aerator or valve — the fix depends on which one has failed.
- Repair or replace
We carry common parts, and we will tell you when replacing the fixture is the better value.
- Deal with the scale
Aerators and cartridges get cleaned or replaced, which is usually what restores the flow.
- Test everything
Full flow both temperatures, and a check under the sink for drips.
Hard water is the usual cause
Most of these repairs in San Antonio trace back to scale. It blocks aerators, jams cartridges, wears seats so taps drip, and it is why angle stops seize open. Replacing the part fixes today; a quick clean of aerators once in a while keeps flow up for longer.
What it costs
It depends on what the job turns out to need, so we diagnose first. Your plumber then gives you an upfront price, and you approve it before anything starts.
Questions people ask
My tap drips again after a repair — why?
Usually the seat is worn as well as the washer, or scale has damaged the cartridge. We check both rather than swapping the cheapest part.
Can you fit fixtures I bought myself?
Yes. We will tell you before we start if something in the box is not suitable for your plumbing.
Is low pressure at one tap a big problem?
Usually not — it is often just a blocked aerator or cartridge. Low pressure across the whole house is the one to worry about.
