Customer Reviews
The technician was friendly, knowledgeable and very professionally went about his work replacing a shut off valve to an outside water tap that was leaking and replacing the faucet on a basement stationery tub.. He was very prompt in his arrival time and did excellent work. Everett H
The service tech was prompt and very courteous. I had a new garbage disposal installed and a very old and leaky utility sink faucet replaced. He completed both jobs in a timely fashion. Roto-Rooter was highly recommended to me a few months ago by a friend. I am happy I decided to use Roto-Rooter for my previous plumbing issue and the current work I just had done. I am a very happy customer! Sue H
I tried to change out my kitchen faucet, but my hot water isolation valve would not shut off. I called Roto-Rooter, as they had done great previously. The tech showed up a couple hours later replaced 3 isolation valves and installed my replacement kitchen sink faucet. I now have a happy wife. And as the saying goes happy wife, happy life. Thank you Roto-Rooter. Mathew H
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you change a faucet?
Replacing a faucet usually requires, slot head and phillips head screwdrivers, a set of locking pliers, a bucket, some towels, and lots of patience. You'll need to turn off the water supply valves beneath the sink, disconnect the water supply lines from the water valves then remove the old faucet assembly. Follow the manufacturer's directions for installing the new faucet. Expect to spend 1-2 hours on the project if you don't have experience replacing faucets. An experienced plumber can usually complete the job in 30 minutes.

How to determine whether or not a faucet needs replaced or fixed?
Take a good look at your old faucet's appearance. Does it have lime or calcium stains or mineral buildup? Do the handles turn smoothly? Are they too loose or too difficult to turn? Does the water flow smoothly from the spout? Is the faucet out of style? Does it drip from the spout or leak from the base? Is it more than 8 years old? If you answered yes to two or more of these questions , you could justifiably replace your faucet.
