Story Near Slater & Bushard
A couple weeks ago, a retired couple near Slater Ave and Bushard Street called us. Their kitchen faucet was dripping worse every day and they thought they needed a whole new fixture. It was one of those old chrome Delta units with a side sprayer that never stayed put.
We took it apart and found the internal diverter had cracked. That’s why the sprayer had no pressure and the main spout kept dripping. Using our specialty cartridge puller and torque-limiting basin wrench, we swapped in a new diverter and reassembled the unit. We also reseated the escutcheon and checked the shut-off valves for buildup.
They were shocked it didn’t need a full replacement. And honestly? So are a lotta folks. If the body’s solid, fixing it is quicker, cleaner, and saves a few hundred bucks. Now they’re back to filling pots without spraying the backsplash.
Why Kitchen Faucet Repair Fountain Valley Matters
A leaking faucet isn’t just annoying—it can waste gallons a week. Plus, if the leak’s down low under the sink, it can lead to mold, warped wood, or damage to your cabinets.
Spray hoses that don’t retract or stick open cause splashing and make a mess every time you turn the water on. Some homeowners even lose water pressure in the kitchen because of clogged faucet aerators or bad cartridges. If you have a newer style faucet, it might need exact-fit parts. We keep those stocked for Delta, Moen, Kohler, and others.
It matters because ignoring it never helps—small drips lead to big bills.
Tips for Fountain Valley Homeowners Before We Arrive
You don’t have to do much, but here’s what can help keep things smooth:
Just clear out the space below your kitchen sink—old cleaners, sponges, maybe a trash can. Makes it quicker for us to reach the valves and fittings. If you know the faucet brand, awesome. If not, we’ll figure it out.
Also, let us know if you had anything replaced or installed recently. Sometimes a garbage disposal or under-sink filter can affect faucet access.

DIY Mistakes We See in Fountain Valley
We get calls every week from folks who tried to fix their kitchen faucet and ran into trouble. One common mistake is using regular pliers instead of a proper basin wrench. That can twist or crack the faucet body when tightening the mounting nut.
Others try to reseal leaks with silicone caulk, but that never fixes the real problem—usually a worn washer or loose valve. We’ve also seen supply lines overtightened with no backup wrench, snapping the threads right off.
Another issue? Not flushing the supply lines before reconnecting. Any leftover debris can clog the new cartridge or aerator immediately. And forgetting to support the faucet body while tightening from underneath often leads to movement or future leaks.
If any of this sounds familiar, don’t worry—we’re used to fixing half-finished projects. That’s what we do.
