Faucet Repair in Fort Myers, FL
Dripping faucets, handles that are hard to operate, leaks under the sink, loose fixtures, low flow at one faucet, and failed cartridges, stems, aerators, or supply connections. Diagnosis starts with whether the problem is inside the faucet or in the shutoff, piping, pressure, or drain below it.

Faucet leak, or drain leak? Timing tells you which.
A useful sink diagnosis asks when the cabinet gets wet, rather than just where the puddle ends up.
Leaks even when the sink isn’t draining
Inspect the supply lines, shutoffs, and faucet components first.
Leaks only while the sink drains
Inspect the basket strainer, tailpiece, trap, and branch connection.
Leaks only when the sprayer is used
Inspect the hose, diverter, and quick-connects.
Common faucet problems
Dripping spout
Internal sealing components wear over time. The exact repair depends on whether the faucet uses a cartridge, ceramic disc, compression stem, or another design.
Leak under the sink
Water under a sink may come from the faucet supply, shutoff valve, drain trap, disposal, dishwasher connection, or the faucet body itself.
Low flow
A clogged aerator or cartridge can reduce flow at one faucet. If pressure is poor at several fixtures, the issue may be elsewhere in the plumbing system.
Loose or damaged fixture
Loose mounting hardware can allow movement. Corrosion, cracked bodies, or unavailable parts may make replacement more practical.

Faucet repair process
Identify the exact symptom
We pin down whether the issue is a drip, a leak, or reduced flow, and where it’s happening.
Shut off the local supply
The local water supply is shut off where possible before any disassembly.
Check the shutoff and connectors
The angle stops and supply connectors are checked, since a faucet repair often exposes a second problem.
Identify the faucet type
The internal cartridge or stem design is identified — brand, model, and handle style determine which part fits.
Repair or replace the component
The appropriate internal part is replaced, or the fixture itself if the body is cracked or parts are unavailable.
Restore water and test
Water is restored and hot/cold operation is tested to confirm the leak or drip is gone.
Where the problem shows up
Kitchen faucets
Pull-down hoses, sprayers, docking magnets, and touch controls add extra connections — a leak may come from a hose or quick-connect rather than the cartridge itself.
Bathroom faucets
Cartridge leaks, drain-popup issues, and corroded supply stops are common. If the vanity cabinet is wet, check both supply and drain connections.
Outdoor hose bibs
Exterior faucets can leak at the stem, vacuum breaker, body, or supply connection. A leak inside the wall is more serious than a simple spout drip because moisture can be hidden.
Fort Myers water context
The City reports municipal finished-water hardness around 30 ppm (1.8 grains) after reverse-osmosis treatment, so we don’t claim every faucet cartridge in Fort Myers fails from extreme hardness. Private-well water can differ and may create mineral, iron, or sediment issues that affect aerators and fixture performance.

Frequently asked questions about faucet repair
Why does my faucet keep dripping after I shut it off?
The internal sealing cartridge, stem, disc, or seat may be worn or damaged. The faucet type determines the repair part.
Why is there water under my sink?
It may be the faucet supply, shutoff valve, faucet body, drain, disposal, or another connection. Observe whether it leaks continuously or only when the sink drains.
Can a faucet cartridge be repaired?
Most cartridges are replaced rather than rebuilt. Availability depends on brand, model, and age.
Why is only one faucet low pressure?
A clogged aerator, cartridge, or local shutoff can reduce flow. If several fixtures are affected, diagnose the wider plumbing system.
Should I repair or replace an old faucet?
Repair makes sense when parts are available and the body is sound. Replacement is practical when corrosion, damage, or obsolete parts make repair poor value.
Can you install a faucet I already bought?
PalmLine provides faucet and kitchen/bath plumbing installation. Compatibility, mounting, connections, and the condition of existing shutoffs should be checked.
Do you repair touch or sensor faucets?
Commercial and electronic faucets can be serviced when parts and model-specific procedures are available. Controls, batteries, and solenoids may be involved.
Does Fort Myers hard water ruin faucets?
City water is reported at about 30 ppm / 1.8 grains hardness, so extreme municipal hardness shouldn’t be assumed. Private-well properties can differ.
Is a leaking faucet an emergency?
A small contained drip usually isn’t. An uncontrolled supply leak under the sink can become urgent if water can’t be shut off.
Do you repair commercial faucets?
Yes. PalmLine Plumbing provides commercial plumbing and fixture repair in Fort Myers.
