Faucet Repair & Replacement in Abilene, TX

• Dripping / constantly running — worn cartridge, O-ring, or seat washer
• Low water pressure from one faucet — clogged aerator (hard water scale)
• No hot water at faucet — cartridge, mixing valve, or supply issue
• Faucet sprays sideways — clogged aerator screen
• Handle loose or spins freely — worn cartridge or set screw
• Leaking under sink — supply line, valve, or drain connection
• Faucet won’t shut off — cartridge failure requiring replacement
• Squeaking handle — worn stem packing

At 574 ppm, Abilene’s hard water leaves calcium deposits in aerator screens every 6–12 months. This is why faucets in Abilene progressively lose pressure over time — the screen is clogging with mineral buildup. A 5-minute aerator cleaning or replacement resolves it. Cleaning the aerator without a softener just resets the clock — it will clog again.

Hard water also attacks single-handle cartridges from the inside. The calcium grinds against the ceramic disc or rubber seat every time the handle is turned. Premium cartridges in an unprotected Abilene home last 2–4 years vs. 8–12 in soft-water cities.

Outdoor faucets (hose bibs) are the first to freeze in Abilene winters. Standard hose bibs in Abilene homes are not frost-proof — during a hard freeze, water left in the exposed section freezes and bursts the body or the supply pipe behind the wall. We install frost-proof hose bibs that drain back into the wall when shut off, eliminating the freeze risk. Outdoor faucet repair: $135–$225. Frost-proof hose bib installation: $185–$310.
