Tell Us What Is Happening
What Is Your Faucet Doing?
Dripping
Worn washers and seals
A drip from the spout, or a leak at the handle or base, points to the rubber washers and seals inside, which wear out or corrode over time. The City says Calgary’s water is naturally high in minerals, which can corrode a faucet’s stem, a part inside it. A steady drip also wastes a lot of water over a month, so it’s worth booking a visit soon.
Weak water flow
Check the aerator
First check that the shut-off valves under the sink are fully open. If the hot and cold are both weak, unscrew the aerator, the small screen on the end of the spout, and clear out any debris. If only the hot or only the cold is weak, the faucet maker Moen says the fix on its faucets is a new cartridge, a part inside the faucet body. Book a visit.
Leaking under the sink
Find the drip
A leak under the sink can come from the shut-off valves, the supply lines or the faucet’s own hoses. If it shows up only after the faucet has been used, the hose connections are the likely spot. Tape a sheet of newspaper flat on the cabinet floor to see where it drips, then book a visit.
Handle loose or stiff
Cartridge or fitting
On faucets made by Moen, a stiff handle usually comes from sediment, mineral build-up or a damaged seal in the cartridge, a part inside the faucet body. The fix is servicing or replacing the cartridge. A loose handle may not have been fitted properly. Moen warns against greasing its cartridges with a petroleum product, which can harm the rubber seals. Book a visit.
Want a new faucet?
Time for a new one
If you’d rather replace your faucet, we supply and install new ones, and swapping an existing faucet in Calgary needs no plumbing permit. Most installations carry a one-year workmanship warranty, and the faucet’s parts carry its maker’s warranty. Book a visit and see your options, each with a firm price, before any work starts.

If what your faucet is doing isn’t listed here, call us, or describe it in the booking form and we will call you back during our hours. A licensed journeyman comes to your home to find the cause before any work starts.
A Licensed Journeyman for Faucet Repair in Calgary
Turned on my water to my outside hose to do some gardening and water is spraying everywhere.”
The Government of Alberta lists plumbing as a compulsory certification trade, and Alberta’s plumber trade profile says plumbers install and service plumbing systems and fixtures. Every technician we send for a faucet or tap repair holds both a plumbing and a gasfitter certificate.
We take on kitchen faucet repair and bathroom faucet repair, whether it’s a leaking faucet, a stiff handle or a tap you’ve had enough of. When it’s practical, we replace a worn faucet cartridge or other part and your faucet stays. When it’s needed, we supply and install a new one, and faucet installation in Calgary homes is priced on site. Shower and tub controls are part of our bath and shower work.
Call us during our hours (Monday to Friday, 8:00 to 5:00) to book a visit. We offer same-day service when the schedule and the job allow; some jobs are booked for a later day, depending on the work and when suits you. The journeyman who looks at your faucet can fix it on the same visit whenever possible.
We repair and replace faucets in homes across Calgary, and in Airdrie, Chestermere and Okotoks too. Home service is all we do.
Repaired When Practical, Replaced When Needed
Every visit starts with finding what’s wrong. We take care of:
Cartridge and part replacement: worn cartridges and other parts replaced when that’s practical.
New faucets, supplied and installed: kitchen and bathroom faucets, when a new one is needed.
Outdoor faucets and hose bibs: repaired, or replaced with a new one we supply and install.
Delta preferred: other brands on request.
If the water under your sink is coming from the garburator, see garburator repair. If it’s coming from a pipe rather than the faucet, its hoses or the shut-off valves, see leak repair.
A sink that drains slowly is a blocked drain, not a faucet problem.
Price Agreed First
How Your Faucet Price Is Agreed
$69.99
We don’t give prices over the phone. What a new faucet costs depends on the faucet, the condition of the existing installation and the work it needs. A repair is priced the same way, once we’ve seen it.
A licensed technician comes to you, looks at the problem and gives you your options with a firm price before any work starts. The visit is $69.99, waived if you go ahead.
Outdoor Faucets and Hose Bibs
We repair outdoor faucets, also called hose bibs or spigots, and when a repair isn’t practical, we supply and install a new one in its place. Spring is when people start calling about them. If an outside faucet is leaking or spraying water, book a visit.
- Check outside faucets for leaks when you check inside: the City of Calgary suggests doing it every six months.
- Before winter, the City of Calgary advises making sure the water line to outside faucets and garden hoses is turned off, disconnected and drained. If those lines freeze, they can burst and let water drain into your home, as the City’s advice on frozen water lines warns.

Don was very professional and efficiently explained the options to our exterior hot/cold water faucet problem. He was able to replace the faucet during his first visit and double checked everything before he completed the job. Thanks.

He went over the cost and longevity of each option. I would highly recommend Don for any plumbing or boiler needs you have!

Alex was phenomenal and helped me so quickly and efficiently with my clogged drain. Would absolutely recommend this company for any plumbing needs!!
- Shannon Chalupiak★★★★★
Don was prompt, professional and accurate in his diagnosis and quote. We highly appreciated his honesty and ability to communicate the whole process along with the possibility of some additional work that may have come up depending on what they found once they started. This was helpful in easing our concerns as this was not a planned repair. We were also pleasantly surprised when this additional work was not needed. This was such a great experience that we are now looking forward to working with Don again in the next year to complete some planned work.

Don was very professional, honest, and friendly. He did a great job and took the time to explain everything clearly. He also gave me helpful maintenance tips and, after his inspection, he honestly said that no repairs were needed — only regular maintenance. I really appreciated that he didn’t try to upsell or push unnecessary services. It’s hard to find someone this trustworthy nowadays. Highly recommend!
