A dripping kitchen faucet can be easy to ignore at first. Maybe you hear it at night when the house is quiet, notice water collecting around the base, or find yourself tightening the handle a little harder every time you turn it off.
Faucet problems usually do not fix themselves. Worn cartridges, seals, valves, or other internal parts can cause leaks, make handles difficult to use, or affect water flow. In North Texas homes, mineral buildup from hard water can also contribute to scale and wear around faucets over time.
Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Dallas provides faucet repair and replacement throughout North Texas for kitchen and bathroom fixtures. We can diagnose what is causing the problem, explain whether repair or replacement makes more sense, and get your faucet working properly again.
If your faucet keeps dripping, feels loose, or is becoming harder to use, schedule service before a small fixture problem becomes a bigger plumbing headache.

Faucet Repair & Installation for Kitchens and Bathrooms
A faucet does not need to be completely broken before it deserves attention. Some problems begin as a small drip or a handle that feels different than it used to.
We provide kitchen faucet repair and bathroom faucet repair for problems including:
- Faucets that drip after being turned off
- Leaks around the handle, base, or spout
- Loose or difficult-to-turn handles
- Low or inconsistent water flow
- Corroded or damaged faucet components
- Temperature controls that no longer work properly
Sometimes the problem is inside the faucet itself. In other cases, moisture around a sink may be coming from a supply connection or another hidden plumbing leak. If water keeps appearing but the source is not obvious, leak detection can help determine whether the issue extends beyond the fixture.
We also install replacement faucets when an existing fixture is worn out, badly corroded, damaged, or simply no longer fits the way you use the kitchen or bathroom. If you are updating more than the faucet, we also provide sink and tub replacement.
Should You Repair or Replace a Leaking Faucet?
A leaking faucet does not automatically need to be replaced.
Repair often makes sense when the fixture is still in good condition and the problem comes from a replaceable cartridge, washer, seal, valve, or other internal component. A plumber may be able to restore the faucet without replacing the entire fixture.
Replacement may be the better option when the faucet is heavily corroded, has multiple worn components, continues leaking after previous repairs, or is old enough that compatible parts are difficult to find.
There is also nothing wrong with replacing a working faucet because you want a different style or more useful features. The important part is knowing the difference between a fixture that needs replacement and one that simply needs a straightforward repair.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my faucet keep dripping after I turn it off?
A faucet that continues dripping after it is shut off often has a worn cartridge, washer, seal, valve, or another internal component that is no longer creating a watertight seal. Mineral buildup can also interfere with faucet components. A plumber can identify which part is causing the leak and determine whether it can be repaired.
Is it better to repair or replace a leaking faucet?
It depends on the faucet’s age, condition, and the cause of the leak. A newer faucet with one worn component is often worth repairing. Replacement may make more sense when the fixture is badly corroded, has several failing parts, has already needed repeated repairs, or no longer has readily available replacement components.
