Faucet & Sink Repair in Katy, Texas

Yes — a steady drip wastes a meaningful volume over a year, and the same worn seat that drips is usually also scoring the valve body. Catching it early keeps it a cartridge replacement instead of a fixture replacement.

A single fixture usually means a clogged aerator or a partially closed or failing angle stop, not a house-wide pressure problem. Aerator cleaning is the first thing to rule out.

Many contractors will install an owner-supplied fixture but will not warrant the fixture itself. Ask how it affects the labour warranty before buying.

Permit requirements around Katy are set locally rather than statewide. As a rule, water heater replacement, gas work, sewer laterals and repiping are permitted work, while a like-for-like faucet or disposal swap usually is not. A licensed contractor pulls the permit — if one offers to skip it, that is the signal to stop.

Whatever the contractor offers in writing — PlumberTexas is not a party to the agreement. Ask for labour and parts warranty terms in the quote, and keep the licence number with the paperwork.

No. Independent licensed professionals perform and contract the work directly with you. PlumberTexas routes the request and links every page to the official Texas licence register.
