Faucet repair (fixing leaks, replacing cartridges) typically costs $100–$200."},{"question":"Can I install a faucet myself or do I need a plumber?","answer":"A straightforward faucet swap where the new faucet matches the existing hole configuration is a manageable DIY project taking 1–2 hours. However, if you need to modify plumbing lines, change hole configurations, or work with older supply valves that may break during removal, hiring a professional prevents costly water damage."},{"question":"How long does faucet installation take?","answer":"A professional faucet replacement typically takes 1–2 hours. Kitchen faucets with sprayers or soap dispensers may take slightly longer. If corroded supply lines or shut-off valves need replacing (common in older Sacramento homes), add 30–60 minutes for that additional work."},{"question":"What faucet brands do you recommend?","answer":"We recommend Moen, Delta, and Kohler for the best combination of quality, warranty, and availability of replacement parts. Moen and Delta both offer lifetime warranties against drips and leaks. For budget-friendly options, Pfister and Glacier Bay provide good value. We can install any brand the homeowner selects."},{"question":"Why is my faucet dripping and how much water does it waste?","answer":"Faucet drips are usually caused by worn O-rings, cartridges, or valve seats. A faucet dripping at one drip per second wastes over 3,000 gallons of water per year — adding $30–$50 to your Sacramento water bill annually. Cartridge replacement ($100–$200 professionally) stops the drip and pays for itself within a couple of years."}],"related_services":[{"slug":"emergency-plumbing","name":"Emergency Plumbing","price_range":"$150–$500+"},{"slug":"drain-cleaning","name":"Drain Cleaning","price_range":"$125–$500"},{"slug":"water-heater","name":"Water Heater Services","price_range":"$150–$4,500"},{"slug":"sewer-line","name":"Sewer Line Services","price_range":"$300–$12,000"},{"slug":"leak-detection","name":"Leak Detection","price_range":"$200–$600"}]}}
