Faucet and Sink Installation and Repair

A dripping faucet is more than an annoyance. A steady drip of one drop per second wastes over three thousand gallons of water annually. In older homes, mineral scale from municipal water wears down ceramic disc cartridges, degrades rubber O-rings, and corrodes brass valve seats, causing constant weeping around the spout or handles.

We service all major plumbing brands including Moen, Kohler, Delta, American Standard, and Grohe, rebuilding internal cartridges and restoring smooth, drip-free control.

When we replace or repair a faucet, we always inspect the small shutoff valves located beneath the sink. In older valley houses, these angle stops are often vintage multi-turn compression valves with rubber washers that have seized or will leak the moment they are turned.

We replace corroded multi-turn stops with solid-brass quarter-turn ball valves and braided stainless steel supply lines, ensuring you have reliable local shutoff capability during future fixture maintenance.

Whether you are installing a high-arc pull-down kitchen faucet, a commercial prep sink, a modern undermount stainless steel basin, or a vessel sink in a renovated powder room, our technicians ensure clean plumbing alignment. We reconfigure tubular P-trap drainage, ensure proper venting, and apply clean silicone sealing.

For commercial property owners in downtown Ansonia and Shelton, we install and service ADA-compliant sensor-activated hands-free faucets, commercial trap primers, and thermostatic mixing valves that comply with commercial sanitation and accessibility codes.

Modern residential faucets utilize precision ceramic disc cartridges that provide smooth operation and long-lasting seals without rubber washers that wear out. When ceramic cartridges develop internal cracks or mineral binding from hard water minerals, leaks weep from the faucet neck or handle base.

We service and install premium kitchen and bathroom faucets from trusted manufacturers like Moen, Kohler, and Delta. We replace worn cartridges, rebuild vintage compression faucets, and replace deteriorated flexible braided stainless steel supply lines.

Faucet replacement frequently reveals deteriorated drain piping beneath the sink. Thin-gauge slip-joint brass or plastic tubular P-traps corrode over years of exposure to kitchen cleaning chemicals. We replace brittle drain arms with heavy-duty Schedule 40 PVC or commercial cast brass P-traps.

In kitchens, we install heavy-duty stainless steel sink basket strainers with mechanical locknut assemblies and non-staining plumber’s putty, ensuring leak-free performance under heavy kitchen washing.

Modern faucet replacements in Connecticut must comply with state energy and water conservation standards. Standard lavatory faucets are calibrated to deliver 1.2 to 1.5 gallons per minute, while commercial restrooms utilize metered or electronic sensor-activated faucets delivering 0.5 gallons per minute.

We install WaterSense-certified aerators and pressure-compensating flow regulators that provide strong, splash-free stream performance while reducing annual hot water energy consumption for Valley homeowners and business owners.
