So let’s begin.
💧 1. That Slow Drip You Keep Ignoring
A one-drip-per-second leak wastes more than 2,000 gallons annually. It’s easy to tune out but expensive over time.
However we, The Handy Geeks can come and quickly replace these worn cartridges and seals, restoring full efficiency and stopping leaks at their source.
💵 2. Rising Water Bills Without Explanation
If usage spikes while habits stay the same, a hidden leak may be to blame.
And…our technicians can arrive and perform full fixture diagnostics — checking valves, aerators, and under-sink fittings — to isolate hidden leaks before they escalate.
🚰 3. Uneven Flow or Low Pressure
Sediment buildup, old washers, or corroded valves restrict flow, forcing you to open the tap wider and waste more water.
Once again we can come and clean aerators, replace gaskets, and install WaterSense-certified faucet heads that balance pressure with conservation.
⚙️ 4. Faucet Handles That Feel Loose or Stick
Wobbly handles often indicate stripped valve stems or mineral buildup inside cartridges.Here we will rebuild handle assemblies using manufacturer-approved replacement parts for smoother motion and extended faucet lifespan.
🌊 5. Warm Water Takes Too Long to Reach the Tap
Lagging hot-water delivery wastes both time and gallons. Older fixtures and lines contribute to delay.
To fix this, we will need to upgrade supply lines, optimize shutoff valves, and install on-demand recirculation systems in large homes to minimize waste.
🔧 6. Outdated Faucets Without WaterSense Certification
Older faucets can use 2.5 gallons per minute or more, while WaterSense models flow at 1.5 GPM or less without losing performance.
We replace outdated faucets with WaterSense-labeled units, cutting water use by up to 30 % and enhancing style at the same time.
