What Your Neighbors Are Saying About Us

I had two plumbing projects on two separate bathrooms. Roger arranged to have one of his plumbers visit my home the following day for an estimate. The plumber, Reece, was polite, professional, and after contacting me to give me a heads up, arrived--not just on time--but early. Reece evaluated both situations, provided a very reasonable estimate, and fixed one issue while at my home. I will be using Practical Plumbing to handle the plumbing issue in the other bathroom.

Good company, fair prices, I say fair because good work ain't cheap, and cheap work ain't good, remember that in making a selection in a service provider. Reece was friendly, knowledgeable and capable. Overall, a very positive experience. I will use them in the future.

These guys were great to work with, showed up on time like they said they would, they did great work and was patient with me and answered any questions or concerns I had. I would definitely recommend to friends and family. Thanks!

I had Rodger, who came out to fix my water pressure tank, install a hydrant, faucet and install a new well pump. Five stars is not enough to give him. If you’re looking for shortcuts this is the wrong man. He did an extremely well job and the price you can’t beat anywhere. His company who you want to call to have fixed right the first time. He doesn’t nickel and dime you. He stays until the job is completed. Thank you sir!!

Roger was on time and easy to approach. Professional, had a game plan, all the tools needed for the job and parts to complete the task at hand. I consider him "our plumber" going forward. Great doing business with him!

We've known Roger since 2019 when he worked for another company. He did awesome work then. Practical Plumbing (Roger and his team) do things I like. They give you an honest estimate. Once you approve the estimate, they will give you a start time and day. They know the codes and requirements they may need to add to the job and THEY LET YOU KNOW BEFORE they begin. We will use Practical Plumbing Service every time we need their services. R/S...Jerry

Faucet Repair & Installation Services We Offer

We handle every type of faucet repair and installation job, whether it’s a kitchen sink that’s been dripping for months or a bathroom faucet that’s finally given out. Our plumbers first troubleshoot the source of the problem, since a small-looking leak can indicate worn cartridges, corroded valves, or mineral buildup deep inside the fixture. We never assume the fix is obvious until we’ve actually looked at what’s going on underneath.

Greensboro’s water can run harder in some neighborhoods than others, and that mineral content tends to wear down internal faucet parts faster than homeowners expect. Faucets in homes near the older parts of town, especially those built during the textile mill era, often show more buildup simply because the fixtures and supply lines have been in place for decades. We take that history into account when we’re diagnosing a problem, since a repair that works for a newer home might not hold up as well in an older one.

We also install new faucets for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and outdoor hose bibs, matching your existing plumbing setup to avoid unnecessary demolition or delays. Whether you’re renovating, replacing something that’s past its prime, or just ready for a faucet that actually works the way it should, we bring the same care to every job. If you’re not sure whether your current setup will work with a new fixture, we’re happy to walk you through your options before we start any work.

Is It Time to Repair or Replace Your Faucet?

A few warning signs tend to show up before a faucet fails, and catching them early can save you from a bigger mess down the road. Here’s what usually means it’s time to call us.

Constant dripping sound
Water pressure feels weak
The handle is hard to turn
Visible rust or corrosion
Water pools around the base
The faucet wobbles when used
Discolored or mineral-crusted spout

If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth having someone take a look before a small leak turns into water damage under the sink or inside the wall. A dripping faucet might seem like a minor annoyance, but over the course of a month, it can waste a surprising amount of water and quietly raise your bill. Catching the problem early usually means a simple, affordable repair instead of a bigger job later.

Homes in older Greensboro neighborhoods, especially those built during the textile mill era, often have original fixtures that have simply reached the end of their lifespan. Newer homes aren’t immune either, since even a faucet installed a few years ago can develop issues if it wasn’t properly seated or if the supply lines were damaged during installation. Either way, our plumbers can tell you honestly whether a repair will hold up or a replacement is the smarter long-term choice.

What to Expect From Our Faucet Service Visit

When you call Practical Plumbing Service, a real person right here in the Triad answers the phone, not a call center reading from a script. We’ll ask a few quick questions about what’s going on with your faucet so we can send a plumber prepared for the job with the right parts and tools on hand.

Once we arrive, we take a close look at the faucet and the plumbing behind it before making any recommendations. We’ll explain what’s causing the issue, walk you through your repair or replacement options, and give you a clear price before any work begins. There are no surprise charges and no upselling you don’t need. You should understand exactly what you’re paying for and why, every single time.

For repairs, we replace worn parts such as cartridges, O-rings, and valve seats to get your faucet working like new again. For installations, we remove the old fixture, check the supply lines and connections for wear, and install your new faucet with a clean, leak-free fit. Greensboro’s humid summers can accelerate corrosion on older supply lines, so we always check those connections as part of the job rather than assuming they’re fine. That extra step can save you from a future leak that would otherwise go unnoticed behind a cabinet wall.

Before we leave, we test everything at normal water pressure and completely clean up the work area. We won’t consider a job finished until you’ve seen it working and you’re satisfied with the result. If anything doesn’t feel right after we leave, we want to hear from you.

Faucet Repair & Installation Questions We Get Often

How do I know if my faucet needs repair or a full replacement?

If the faucet is under 10 years old and the problem is isolated to one part, repair is usually the better option. Faucets that are older, heavily corroded, or have multiple issues at once are often better off replaced for the long run.

Why does my faucet drip even after I tighten the handle?

Dripping is almost always caused by a worn internal part, such as a cartridge, washer, or O-ring, rather than by a loose handle. Tightening the handle may temporarily mask the sound, but the worn part still needs to be replaced to stop the leak fully.

Can hard water damage my faucet over time?

Yes, mineral buildup from hard water can coat internal components and cause faucets to stick, leak, or lose pressure faster than expected. Regular use in areas with harder water often means faucets need attention sooner than homeowners assume.

How long does a typical faucet installation take?

Most standard faucet installations are completed in about one to two hours, depending on the condition of the existing supply lines and connections. Jobs that involve replacing older or corroded plumbing beneath the surface may take a bit longer to complete properly.

Do I need to replace the supply lines when I install a new faucet?

Not always, but it depends on the age and condition of the existing lines. Our plumbers check them during every installation and let you know upfront if a replacement is recommended so there are no surprises later.
