Faucet Repair in Chino Hills, CA

What happens when you call

The number on this page puts you in touch with an independent plumber who works in Chino Hills. Tell them which faucet is leaking, where the water appears, and whether you have shut off the stops below the sink. If you already know you want a new faucet, mention the style so they can plan for it.

Most visits follow the same path: shut off the water, open the faucet, check the cartridge, seals and seats, then rebuild or replace. A plumber will also look at the supply hoses and stops, because a slow drip under the sink is often a hose or valve rather than the faucet itself.

Things that affect cost

• Whether a cartridge or seal kit solves it, or a new faucet is needed
• The faucet's design, from basic single-lever to pull-down or widespread models
• Parts that are hard to find for discontinued models
• Stops and supply hoses replaced during the same visit
• Access in tight vanities or island sinks
• Calls outside normal hours

Chino Hills water and homes

The City of Chino Hills provides water and sewer service. Its water is a blend of imported State Water Project water from the Metropolitan Water District, delivered through the Water Facilities Authority and Monte Vista Water District, and groundwater from City wells, Monte Vista Water District wells and Chino Basin Desalter Authority wells. Some properties are sewer-only accounts with the City and get water from a separate agency, so check your bill if you are not sure.

The City's Consumer Confidence Report lists chloramine as the disinfectant. Chloramine is durable in the pipes, and over time it can be hard on some ordinary rubber washers and O-rings, so seals made for chloramine are a good choice during a rebuild. The same report says the City's service line inventory found no lead lines in its service area.

The City's after-hours number for water and sewer emergencies is (909) 364-2860, and Public Works takes calls at (909) 364-2800 during the day. Plumbing permits, such as for repiping or a new supply line, are handled by City of Chino Hills Building Services.

Before your appointment

• Turn the stops under the sink to see if they close fully
• Know where the house's main shutoff is
• Clear out the cabinet and wipe it dry so new drips show
• Find any paperwork or brand markings for the faucet
• If you bought a replacement, check it matches your sink's hole count
