Faucet & Sink Repair in Lebanon, PA
A faucet that drips, a sink that leaks underneath, or pressure that has faded to a trickle all have straightforward fixes. We repair faucets and sinks, install new ones, and replace the corroded supply lines that drag down older Lebanon plumbing.
The basics
What faucet and sink repair covers
This is the everyday plumbing that wears out with use. A dripping faucet is usually a worn cartridge, washer, or O-ring inside the valve. A leak under the sink traces to the P-trap, the basket strainer, or a supply line connection. Low pressure at one faucet is often just a clogged aerator, while low pressure across the whole house points to something larger upstream.
In older Lebanon homes that larger cause is frequently galvanized supply lines that have scaled down on the inside, choking flow to the fixture. Replacing the corroded supply feeding a sink restores pressure and removes a common leak point at the same time. We also install new faucets and sinks, whether you are upgrading a kitchen or just done fighting a fixture that drips no matter what you do. None of this is glamorous work, but it is the plumbing you touch every single day, and the small problems here have a habit of turning into swollen cabinet floors and inflated water bills when they are left to sit.
Diagnosis
How we diagnose the problem
Faucets and sinks fail in predictable ways. We pin down the cause before reaching for parts.
Drips at the spout or handle
A faucet that drips after you shut it off has a worn cartridge, washer, or O-ring, depending on the faucet type. We identify the valve and replace the worn part, which usually ends the drip without a whole new faucet.
Leaks under the sink
Under-cabinet water comes from a loose or cracked P-trap, a failing basket strainer, or a supply line connection that has corroded or come loose. We trace it to the exact joint rather than blindly tightening everything, then fix that connection.
Low water pressure
Weak flow at a single faucet is usually a clogged aerator, a two-minute fix. Weak flow throughout the house is a different story and often means scaled galvanized supply lines, which we can confirm and talk through.
The fix
Repairs and replacements
Most of this work is quick. We fix the small stuff fast and flag the larger causes honestly.
Faucet rebuild or replacement
Often a new cartridge or set of seals brings a faucet back to like-new. When a faucet is corroded, worn out, or you simply want a new one, we install the replacement cleanly and check the connections behind it.
Sink drain, trap, and strainer
We reseal or replace a leaking P-trap, reseat a failing basket strainer, and clear a slow sink drain. These under-sink leaks are easy to ignore until they ruin the cabinet floor, so catching them early pays off.
Replacing corroded supply lines
Where the real issue is a rusted galvanized supply feeding the fixture, replacing that line restores pressure and removes a leak waiting to happen. In an older home with many such lines, we will mention when a broader repipe is the more economical path.
Pricing
Cost of faucet and sink repair in Lebanon, PA
These are some of the lower-cost plumbing jobs around. A cartridge or O-ring repair, a cleared aerator, or a resealed trap is inexpensive and quick. Installing a faucet you have purchased is a modest flat fee, a bit more if corroded shutoffs or supply lines need replacing to do it right.
When a sink problem is really a symptom of failing galvanized pipe, we will say so — it is better you know the whole picture than pay for the same small repair twice. You always get the price before the work, with no pressure either way.

What we also handle, and where
If the trouble traces back to old galvanized pipe, a whole-home repipe fixes the pressure and the leaks at the root. A mystery leak under the floor is a job for leak detection, and we are glad to handle a running toilet in the same bathroom while we are there.
Questions, answered
Frequently asked questions
Why does my faucet drip even when it's off?
A drip after shutoff means a worn internal part: a cartridge, a washer, or an O-ring, depending on the faucet. Hard use and time wear these out. Replacing the worn part usually stops the drip without needing a whole new faucet, and it ends the steady water waste a drip adds up to over time.
Why is my water pressure low at one faucet?
At a single faucet, it is usually a clogged aerator, the small screen at the tip of the spout, which catches sediment and mineral bits. Cleaning or replacing it is a quick fix. If the pressure is low all over the house instead, the cause is upstream, often scaled galvanized supply lines in an older home.
There's a leak under my sink. What is it?
Under-sink leaks come from a few usual places: the P-trap, the basket strainer where the drain meets the sink, or a supply line connection. We trace the water to the exact joint instead of guessing, then reseal or replace that part. Catching it early saves the cabinet floor from slow water damage.
Can you install a faucet I bought myself?
Absolutely. Bring home the faucet you like and we will install it, connect it to the supply lines, and make sure everything seals and works. If the existing shutoffs or supply lines are corroded, we will let you know, since it is worth replacing those while the area is open rather than later.
Why do older Lebanon homes have low water pressure?
The usual culprit is galvanized supply pipe. Over decades it corrodes and scales on the inside, narrowing the channel until flow drops noticeably, especially at upper floors or far fixtures. Cleaning aerators helps at the tap, but when the pipe itself is choked, restoring real pressure means replacing the galvanized lines.
Is a dripping faucet really worth fixing?
Yes. A steady drip wastes water continuously, and that adds up on your bill over a year. It can also stain a sink and signal a worn valve that will only get worse. Since the repair is usually a small, inexpensive part, fixing a drip is one of the easier ways to stop throwing money down the drain.
