[Call (785) 408-6846](tel:+17854086846)[Text a photo of the faucet](sms:+17854086846) Placeholder Justin installing a new kitchen faucet 01 Why homeowners call ## A faucet only fails in slow motion. Nobody wakes up and decides today is faucet day. It creeps in , a drip that gets louder at night, a handle that turns a quarter-inch further than it used to, a spout that stays wet long after you shut it off. You live with it for months because everything still “works.” Then a Saturday comes when the handle finally spins free, or the puddle under the cabinet reaches the paper towels. That’s usually when the phone rings. Nothing dramatic, just a homeowner tired of listening to their kitchen. Faucet replacement is the shortest, cleanest fix in the house. New fixture, fresh supply lines, and the sink area wiped down. About an hour of your day for a repair you’ll notice every morning. 02 Signs it’s time to replace Six small tells that a faucet is closer to the end than the start. Notice two of them and it’s time to at least get a quote. - 01 ### A drip you can hear from another room Once a cartridge starts weeping, it rarely comes back. Every drip is water, wear on the seat, and a slow ring forming under the faucet base. - 02 ### A handle that’s gone loose or wobbly The set screw underneath is either stripped or hiding behind years of hard water. Sometimes a fix, usually a sign the internals are done. - 03 ### Green or white crust around the base Mineral buildup and corrosion tell you the seal has been leaking for a while. Wipe it off and it’s back within a week. - 04 ### Water flow that isn’t what it used to be An aerator can be cleaned. A clogged cartridge or corroded valve body is a replacement conversation. - 05 ### A finish that has quietly given up Chrome pitting, brushed nickel gone dull, a spout that no longer matches the rest of the room. The faucet is the jewelry of the sink, it shows. - 06 ### A puddle under the cabinet Nine times out of ten it’s a supply line or an angle stop, not the faucet itself. Either way, don’t leave it another weekend. 03 Where faucets get replaced Every room has its own quirks. Same tools, different details, and each installation gets the same care. - Placeholder Justin installing a new pull-down kitchen faucet ### Kitchen faucet upgrades Pull-down sprayers, single-handle mixers, touchless models. Bring the box or send a link, Justin installs the faucet you picked, not the one a big-box tech tried to upsell. - Placeholder Bathroom faucet replacement in a Topeka vanity ### Bathroom faucet replacement Widespread, centerset, and single-hole vanity faucets. Old drain assembly out, new pop-up installed, everything wiped down before I leave. - Placeholder Utility sink faucet replacement in a basement ### Utility and laundry faucets Basement basins and garage sinks take a beating. Heavy-duty two-handle replacements, hose-thread spouts, and shut-offs that finally turn again. - Placeholder Replacing corroded angle stops under a sink ### Angle stops and supply lines The parts that fail first on older Topeka homes. Corroded stops, kinked braided lines, and the compression fitting that’s been weeping for a year. - Placeholder New faucet still in the box, ready to install ### Warranty and homeowner-supplied fixtures If Delta, Moen, Kohler, or Pfister shipped you a warranty replacement, Justin will install it. Bring the box and the instructions, I’ll handle the rest.

Turnover-friendly fixtures installed the same visit as door hardware and locks. [More on rental property repairs](/rental-property-repairs) Already replacing one fixture? Add the shower head, the garbage disposal, or the door hardware while I’m there, one visit, less trip charge. [Shower head replacement](/shower-head-replacement) [Garbage disposal replacement](/garbage-disposal-replacement) Placeholder Comparing an old faucet next to its replacement 04 Repair or replace ## An honest answer, before the truck rolls. Not every leaky faucet needs replacing. Here’s how I think about it on the phone, before you spend a dollar. - Repair usually wins when The faucet is under five years old, still matches the room, and the leak traces to a cartridge, O-ring, or aerator. A twenty-dollar part restores it. - Replacement usually wins when The finish is worn, the base is corroded, parts are discontinued, or you’ve already paid to fix it once. A new faucet is often cheaper than the second repair. - Replacement always wins when You can see rust under the handle, the spout wobbles at the base, or the shut-offs won’t close. That’s a fixture asking to retire. 05 Make the new one last Three habits that quietly double the lifespan of the faucet you just paid for. - 01 ### Rinse the aerator twice a year Unscrew the tip, tap out the grit, and soak it in vinegar for ten minutes. Half of the “low pressure” calls I get are solved right there. - 02 ### Never dry-turn a shut-off Angle stops seize when they sit for a decade. Turn each one gently once a year so they’re free the day you actually need them. - 03 ### Wipe the base after you clean Water pooling around the collar is what pits the finish. A quick dry after the counter wipe-down doubles the life of the fixture. 06 What to expect Four short steps from the first text to the final handle-turn. Nothing complicated, that’s the point. 1. 01 ### Text a photo of the faucet One picture of the fixture and one under the sink is usually enough to quote it. No walk-through required. 2. 02 ### Pick the faucet, or let me pick Homeowner-supplied fixtures are welcome. If you’d rather not shop, I’ll suggest two or three options in your budget. 3. 03 ### Install, test, and clean up Old faucet out, connections cleaned, new one seated square. Every joint is run under pressure and wiped dry before the cabinet closes. 4. 04 ### Walk it back at the sink You turn the handles, I answer questions, and the old faucet leaves with me if you’d like. 07 Why homeowners choose Brown’s ## A faucet swap, without the plumbing-company minimum. Big plumbing companies aren’t built for a one-hour fixture swap. They’re built for water heaters and repipes, which is why the trip charge alone can cost more than the faucet you’re trying to install. Brown’s Maintenance is the version of that call that actually makes sense for a fixture swap: honest brand recommendations, homeowner-supplied fixtures welcome, and a labor rate that doesn’t punish you for a short list. Two faucets and a wobbly shower head is a single-visit afternoon, not three separate service tickets. Topeka homes have their own habits, Potwin bungalows with original shut-offs, Oakland ranches with copper stubs, newer builds off 29th with quarter-turn valves that seize after a few Kansas winters. I’ve worked on all of them. Placeholder Modern faucet installation complete 08 Common questions The questions homeowners actually ask before booking a faucet replacement. If yours isn’t here, send it, answers are usually a text away. Can I provide my own faucet? Absolutely, most homeowners do. Buy the fixture you love, and I’ll install it. If parts are missing or the model doesn’t fit your setup, I’ll tell you before I open the box. How long does a faucet replacement take? A straightforward swap runs 45 minutes to an hour. Older homes with seized shut-offs or non-standard drains add a little time, I’ll say so on the phone. Can you replace more than one fixture in the same visit? That’s the whole idea. Kitchen faucet, both bathroom faucets, and a shower head in one afternoon is a common ticket, and cheaper than three separate visits. Do you haul away the old faucet? If you’d like it gone, it goes with me. Some homeowners keep the old one for parts or the outdoor shed, either is fine. Should I replace both bathroom faucets at once? Usually yes. They’re the same age, they’ll fail within months of each other, and doing both at once means one trip, one cleanup, one matching finish. My shut-offs won’t turn. Now what? Common on Topeka homes over thirty years old. I bring replacement angle stops on the truck and swap them as part of the visit, no separate plumber call. Is this licensed plumbing work? A faucet swap is fixture-level, which is standard handyman work. Anything past the shut-off, repipes, water heaters, gas lines, work behind a wall, belongs to a licensed plumber, and I’ll tell you the moment we’re headed that direction. What about touchless or smart faucets? Happy to install them. If it needs a battery pack or a plug under the sink, I’ll make sure there’s room and power before we commit. Will you match the finish to the rest of the room? If you send a photo of your existing hardware, I’ll flag anything that’ll clash. Brushed nickel next to polished chrome is the mistake I see most often. Do you warranty the work? Brown’s Maintenance stands behind its workmanship with a 30-day workmanship warranty. Customer-supplied parts, fixtures, manufacturer defects, misuse, and pre-existing conditions aren’t covered. The faucet itself falls under the manufacturer warranty, usually five years to a lifetime depending on brand, and I’ll help register it if you’d like. Can you help me pick a faucet before I buy? Text me a photo of your sink and the price range you have in mind. I’ll point you at two or three that fit the hole spacing and won’t give you trouble. Do you work on outdoor hose bibs and utility faucets too? Yes, frost-free hose bibs, laundry faucets, and basement utility sinks are all in scope. Especially worth catching before the first Kansas freeze. My faucet drips or leaks around the base. Can you help? Yes. A steady drip is usually a worn cartridge, and a leak around the base is usually failed O-rings or a loose mounting nut. When parts cost close to a new fixture, replacement is often the practical solution. Handyman-level fixture leak help only, hidden pipe leaks behind a wall belong to a licensed plumber.
