Water Filtration SystemsTD Plumbing Solutions fixes dripping, leaking and sputtering faucets in homes across Benbrook and Greater Fort Worth. Master plumber Terrill Dobbs finds the worn part and repairs it.
Most faucet problems come down to one small part: a washer, an O-ring or a cartridge, the valve inside the handle. Hard water wears these out faster here. Terrill shows you the bad part and the price, and says if a new faucet makes more sense.
You notice a drip that will not quit, a handle that fights you, or water under the sink. Small faucet problems waste water and get worse, but most are fixed in one visit.
A worn washer, seal or cartridge is not closing all the way.
Worn O-rings let water escape when the faucet runs. This is often a quick fix.
A loose nut, worn hose or cracked faucet can leak and damage the cabinet floor.
Scale can clog the aerator, the small screen on the tip of the spout.
A worn cartridge can stick on one side or jump between temperatures.
Freezes and old washers are the usual cause.

| Job | Typical time |
|---|---|
| Washer or O-ring repair | Under an hour, usuallyCommon parts are easy to match. |
| Cartridge replacement | About 1 hourLonger if scale has locked the old cartridge in. |
| Leak under the sink | About 1 to 2 hoursDepends on where the leak starts. |
Typical ranges, not promises. Terrill tells you the real timeline once he has seen the job.
Terrill runs the faucet, looks under the sink and shows you what failed.
He tells you if a part will fix it or the faucet is past saving, and gives you the price.
We fit the matching part and clean scale from the valve and aerator.
We run hot and cold at full flow and check the cabinet for drips before we call it done.
Talk to Terrill about your job in Benbrook. You get the fix and the price before any work starts. Emergencies are answered 24/7.
Faucet repairs are small jobs. The price mostly depends on which part failed and how hard it is to get out. You get the price first, and if a new faucet costs about the same, Terrill says so.
A washer or O-ring costs less than a cartridge.
Older or rare faucets can need parts that take longer to find.
Heavy scale can lock parts in place and add time.
Leaks behind an outdoor wall take more work to reach.
Every price is given before work starts. Larger jobs can be financed through Hearth.
We would rather lose a sale than push a repair you do not need.

A faucet that will not shut off can be an emergency. We answer around the clock.
Andrew Dickison wrote that Terrill solved his leaking outdoor faucet and made an effort to do it quickly and cost effectively.
Hard water is the main reason faucets wear out early in Greater Fort Worth. Scale on the aerator, cartridge and seals makes parts stick, drip or slow the flow. We clean it out during the repair so the new part lasts.
Outdoor faucets have a tougher life. Summer heat bakes them, and a hard freeze can split the pipe behind them. In older pier-and-beam homes, we can often reach that pipe from the crawlspace under the floor.
TD Plumbing Solutions repairs leaky faucets in Benbrook and across Greater Fort Worth. Owner Terrill Dobbs, a licensed master plumber, finds the part that failed, shows it to you and gives you the price first. If the faucet is worn out, he tells you.
Usually, yes. A drip wastes water every hour and tends to get worse. Most drips come from a washer, O-ring or cartridge, and fixing one costs far less than a new faucet. If the faucet body is cracked, replacing it is better.
In most Greater Fort Worth homes, the answer is scale. Hard water leaves minerals that clog the aerator on the tip of the spout, and sometimes the cartridge inside. If only one faucet is weak, it is the faucet. If every tap is weak, look further.
Yes, and it is a good first step. Unscrew the tip of the spout, soak the screen in vinegar, rinse it and put it back. If the flow is still weak or the faucet still drips, the problem is deeper inside, and that is when to call.
Hot water wears washers and seals faster than cold, and it leaves more scale. A drip on the hot side often means that side's washer or cartridge is worn. It is usually a simple part swap, matched to your faucet brand before we start.
Often it is the washer in the hose end or the packing nut behind the handle. Both are small, cheap fixes. If water leaks from the wall or the spigot body, the pipe may be cracked, and that needs a closer look soon.
Yes, and you will hear why. If the body is cracked, parts are no longer made, or a repair costs close to a new faucet, Terrill will say so. If a simple part will fix it, he fixes it. He does not push a faucet you do not need.
Not always. It can come from the faucet, the supply hoses, the shutoff valves or the drain below. We dry everything, run the water and watch where the first drop shows up. That way you pay for one fix, not three guesses.
