Faucet Installation & Repair in Schertz, TX
A dripping faucet wastes more water than most people realize — a faucet dripping once per second loses over 3,000 gallons a year. In Schertz, hard water from the Edwards Aquifer accelerates wear on cartridges, washers, and aerators. Mineral deposits build up inside the valve body and on the aerator screen, reducing flow and causing seals to fail prematurely.
We repair all types of faucets — ball, cartridge, ceramic disc, and compression — and carry common replacement cartridges on the truck so most repairs are completed in a single visit. For fixtures that are corroded, outdated, or simply ready for an upgrade, we handle full faucet replacements including shutoff valve inspection and supply line replacement.
For new construction or remodels, we install kitchen, bathroom, utility, and outdoor faucets to code. If you've purchased a fixture, we can install it. If you need a recommendation, we can suggest models that hold up well in South Texas hard water conditions.

Signs Your Faucet Needs Service
Constant Dripping
A faucet that drips when turned off has a worn washer, O-ring, or cartridge — a quick repair that stops water waste immediately.
Low or Uneven Flow
Reduced flow from a single faucet often means a clogged aerator from mineral buildup — a five-minute fix in most cases.
Leaking at the Base
Water pooling around the base of the faucet indicates a failed O-ring seal inside the body — this should be repaired to prevent cabinet or countertop damage.
Handle Won't Shut Off
A handle that won't fully close or requires excessive force to turn off has a worn internal component — repair before the fixture fails entirely.
Rust or Corrosion
Visible corrosion on the faucet body or supply connections is a sign the fixture is nearing end of life and may fail unexpectedly.
Squeaking Handle
A squeaking or grinding handle is usually a worn stem or thread that needs lubrication or replacement before it seizes completely.
Frequently Asked Questions
Faucet installation labor in Schertz typically runs $100–$250 depending on the fixture type, access, and whether the shutoff valves and supply lines need replacement. A kitchen faucet swap with good access is generally on the lower end; a tub or shower valve replacement behind tile is more involved. We give you a quote before starting.
If the faucet is in good structural condition, repairing it (cartridge or washer replacement) is almost always the better value. If the fixture is more than 15–20 years old, corroded, or has required multiple repairs, replacement makes more sense. We'll assess the condition and give you a straight recommendation — with a quote for both options if it's a close call.
Low pressure at a single faucet is almost always a clogged aerator — the small screen at the end of the spout. Hard water from the Edwards Aquifer leaves calcium and mineral deposits that block the aerator screen over time. Unscrewing, soaking in vinegar, and reinstalling the aerator often solves it. If multiple fixtures are affected, there may be a pressure issue upstream or a supply line restriction.
