Faucet Repair & Installation · La Vergne, TN
Faucet Repair & Installation in La Vergne, TN
A faucet that drips all night, sprays sideways, or has a handle that fights back is usually a worn cartridge, a failed O-ring, or hard water scale inside the valve. We identify your faucet type, check whether parts are available and worth fitting, and repair or replace it based on that, not on habit.

Symptoms First
A Drip That Never Stops? It Is Usually the Cartridge or Seals
Inside every modern faucet, a cartridge or stem controls flow and temperature. Rubber seals wear, ceramic discs chip, and scale from moderately hard Rutherford County water grinds at moving parts until the tap drips even when fully off. A drip of one drop per second adds up to real water over a month, and the same scale that causes it is also roughening your shower valve and toilet parts.
Not every faucet deserves repair. A quality Moen, Delta, or Kohler faucet with available parts is almost always worth a cartridge. A budget faucet with corrosion on the body, stripped internals, or parts that are no longer made often costs more to chase than to replace cleanly. We will show you the inside of yours and explain which case you are in.
- Drip continues after the handle is fully off
- Handle is stiff, squeaky, or hard to turn
- Water leaks from under the handle or base
- Spray pattern is uneven or spits sideways
- Rust or white scale crust around the spout
- Low flow at one faucet but fine elsewhere
- Squealing or chatter when the tap runs
- Sprayer hose leaks under the kitchen sink
How We Fix It
How We Repair or Replace a Faucet
We shut off, open up, and diagnose the actual valve before ordering anything, so parts match your brand and model the first time.
Identify brand, model, and valve type
Cartridge, ball, ceramic disc, and compression faucets all fail differently. We identify yours and check parts availability before recommending repair.
Inspect cartridge and seals
We pull the cartridge or stem and look for scoring, cracked seals, and scale. A clean body with a worn cartridge is a repair. A corroded body is a replacement talk.
Fit parts or a new faucet
We install the correct cartridge, seals, or aerator, or set a new faucet you chose, connect supplies, and check for leaks at every joint.
Test flow, temperature, and shutoff
We run hot and cold, check for drips with the tap off, wipe the cabinet dry, and recheck under the sink before leaving.
Why Homeowners Call Us
Why La Vergne Calls Us for Faucet Work
Parts matched to brand
Moen, Delta, Kohler, Pfister, and Grohe cartridges are not interchangeable. We fit the exact part so the repair lasts.
Scale explained, not upsold
Hard water shortens faucet life here. We show you the scale we found and, if it helps, discuss filtration honestly without pressure.
Under-sink check included
Supply lines and shutoff valves age quietly. We check them while we are there and flag anything brittle before it becomes a leak.
Clean replacement when it wins
If replacement is smarter, we say why, set the new faucet properly, and haul the old one out.
Making the Call
Faucet Problem: Repair, Clean, or Replace?
Most drips are part failures. Body corrosion and obsolete parts are the honest exceptions.
| What You Notice | What It Often Means | Best Next Step |
|---|---|---|
| Steady drip from spout | Worn cartridge, stem, or seat seal | Replace the cartridge or seals and retest |
| Leak under the handle | Failed O-ring or cartridge seal | Fit a new seal kit or cartridge |
| Weak, uneven spray | Scaled or clogged aerator | Remove, clean, or replace the aerator |
| Stiff or squealing handle | Scale and wear inside the cartridge | Replace cartridge; check water condition |
| Corrosion on faucet body | Metal failing from age and water chemistry | Replace the faucet; parts will not save the body |
A dripping tap is also wasted water. See the For background, see EPA WaterSense program.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my faucet drip even when it is off?
The cartridge or stem seal inside is worn, scored, or scaled, so it can no longer close fully. Replacing that part usually stops the drip. A drip that returns quickly can mean high water pressure is wearing parts early, which we can test.
Can hard water really damage a faucet?
Yes. Rutherford County water is moderately hard, and scale builds on cartridges, aerators, and valve seats over time. It makes handles stiff, spray uneven, and seals leak. A softener or conditioner can slow it, but existing damage still needs repair.
Is it worth repairing an old faucet?
If the body is sound and parts are made for it, usually yes. If the body is corroded, the finish is failing into the metal, or parts are discontinued, replacement is normally the better spend. We show you the inside before you decide.
Why is water pressure low at just one faucet?
Most often a clogged aerator or a partly blocked cartridge or supply line at that fixture, since the rest of the house is fine. We clean or replace the aerator first, then check the cartridge and shutoffs.
Can you install a faucet I bought myself?
Yes. We will verify the hole count and connections fit your sink, fit new supply lines if the old ones are tired, set and seal the faucet, and leak-test every connection.
Why does my faucet squeal when I turn it on?
Squealing usually comes from a worn washer, a loose part vibrating in the stem, or a cartridge worn by scale. It is an early warning of the same wear that later causes drips, so it is worth a look.
