Sink Faucet Installation and Repair
The faucets in your kitchen or bathroom often set the tone for other elements in the room. However, even if you have a beautiful faucet, if it doesn't work properly, it may be time to consider sink faucet installation services from Flotek Plumbing in and around the St. Charles, IL area. We can also help you choose the right faucet to meet your family's needs. At other times, you may only need sink faucet repairs to restore proper water pressure, temperature and flow to your home.
Do You Need a New Sink Faucet Installation?
It is important to recognize when it’s time to replace your sink faucet. For example, you may have a leaky faucet or one that no longer meets the aesthetics of your kitchen or bathroom. Following, find the main reasons our clients request sink faucet installation.
Outdated Faucet
If your faucet is more than 15 years old, it may continuously leak, show signs of rust and aging and have unattractive mineral deposits that are difficult to remove. When choosing a new faucet, it's important to take the time to consider what material, color and style you prefer.
It might be worthwhile to spend a little more to get a high-quality, dependable faucet that will last for many years. However, most homeowners don't want to overspend on faucets because they often have to replace them every 10 to 15 years.
Remodeling, Sink and Countertop Upgrades
If you're remodeling your kitchen, you may want to install granite countertops and a deeper sink to make dinner cleanup more convenient. You may also decide to change the type of faucet. For example, you want to minimize the number of holes you cut through your granite countertop. Therefore, if you currently have a three-hole faucet configuration, you may want to switch to a single-hole model, which is less likely to create cracks or blemishes in your countertop.
Damaged
Through wear and tear, parts in your faucet will eventually stop functioning properly. It's easy enough to replace cartridges, seals and washers — but what if the handle cracks or the faucet head becomes too stripped to screw the cap or filter back on? If you have a leaky, unreliable faucet, the licensed, insured and bonded technicians at Flotek Plumbing can replace it quickly.
Discontinued Faucets
Homeowners may also require faucet insulation to replace a discontinued model. If you bought a limited-edition model or have an older faucet, it may become difficult to get the right parts to make necessary repairs. We can help you find a more modern, efficient faucet that matches your existing decor.
Do You Need a Sink Faucet Repair?
Leaks, poor pressure, knocking sounds, loose fittings and erratic temperatures all indicate it's time for faucet repairs.
Leaking
High water pressure, hard water such as we have throughout Illinois, improper washer installation, frozen pipes and thermal expansion can all damage the parts inside your faucet. If the leak is extensive, we may recommend replacing the faucet to avoid future repair bills.
Poor Pressure
There are many potential causes for low water pressure. You may have a problem with your pipes or with the faucet itself. Obviously, sink faucet repairs cost less than pipe repairs or replacement. A blocked aerator or clogged cartridge could result in low water pressure, and these are relatively easy fixes. You can rely on trained and courteous plumbers from Flotek to fix your commercial, touchless or traditional faucet.
Loose Fittings
Defective parts such as gaskets, washers, and o-rings can cause loose or poor fittings. Over time, these parts may become too loose to readjust. To avoid future leaks and potential damage to your home, call the area's leading plumbing company to make the necessary faucet repairs.
Knocking (Water Hammer)
Does your sink faucet make a knocking noise? This is often referred to as a water hammer, which is caused by air trapped in the pipes. You can try to get rid of the noise by running all your faucets and flushing the toilets at the same time. If the problem persists, it's time to call a Flotek plumber for a diagnosis and affordable faucet repair.
Temperature Control (Too Hot or Too Cold)
You may notice that the temperature coming out of your faucet runs too hot or too cold. This could come from a number of causes. To rule out a problem with your water heater, try other sinks in your home. If they have the proper water temperature, it's time to determine whether you need sink faucet repairs or replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Sink Faucet Repair & Replacement
Here are a few FAQs many homeowners ask our technicians on service calls.
Moen, Kholer, and Delta are larger companies with a reputation for high-quality parts and warranties. If you need help choosing a sink faucet that has the best features for your family, ask one of our representatives or technicians. These companies also have a better reputation for parts availability and customer service.
There are many beautiful faucets available in a variety of styles. You may want to consider a single faucet with a sprayer for the kitchen or install a customized faucet to enhance your river rock, waterfall or other personalized design features. Pull-down waterspouts, arc faucets that allow you to rinse out pots and pans comfortably, and one or two-handled varieties are just a few of the latest trends in faucets.
NOTE: Do you feel tempted to buy a fancy electronic sink faucet? If so, it's important to choose your brand and model carefully. We take out and replace more electronic faucets than we install.
To increase water pressure, we often perform one of the following sink faucet repairs:
- Clean the aerator
- Rinse the filter
- Flush the water supply lines
Fine-tune the shut-off valves
Like much of Illinois, St. Charles has hard water with high levels of minerals, metals and other contaminants. We install and maintain water filtration units for the whole house and point of use filters. Here are our recommended water filters that can improve the taste, color, health benefits and safety of your water supply:
- A Pentair Freshpoint point of use reverse osmosis system removes arsenic, lead and volatile organic compounds that impact the taste, smell and safety of your water.
- EverGreen whole house carbon filters remove chlorine and chloramine from your drinking water for improved taste and smell. These systems provide your family with clean drinking water and can help you save money on bottled water. You’ll probably also notice a difference in skin tone and quality thanks to the cleaner water flowing through your shower head.
- A whole house iron filter, such as the EverGreen Clear Iron Solution System, removes iron and other contaminants that damage your clothes and create a rusty mess whenever you turn on the faucet. These iron filters provide fresh, clean, odor-free water and use 75% less water than similar models.
