A dripping faucet wastes thousands of gallons of water per year and the sound alone is maddening. Downing Plumbing repairs all faucet types throughout Lake, Porter, and LaPorte County — usually same day.
FAUCET REPAIR
A faucet that drips once per second wastes approximately 3,000 gallons of water annually. In Northwest Indiana where water rates continue to rise, that single drip is costing you real money every month. And most faucet drips don't stay at one drip per second — they get worse as the internal components continue to wear.
Faucet problems fall into a few categories: dripping from the spout (a worn cartridge, ball, or seat-and-spring inside the valve), leaking at the base of the spout (a failed O-ring), a loose or stiff handle (worn handle hardware or mineral buildup on the stem), or low pressure from a clogged aerator. Downing Plumbing diagnoses the correct cause and repairs it — we don't guess and replace everything hoping something works.
We work on all major faucet brands and types: ball faucets, cartridge faucets, ceramic disc faucets, and compression faucets in kitchen and bathroom applications. If repair isn't cost-effective — for example, an old faucet where parts are discontinued — we'll let you know and can install a replacement the same day.
WHAT WE FIX
All faucet types, all brands, all problems — diagnosed and repaired correctly.
Downing Plumbing fixes faucets throughout Northwest Indiana — same-day service available for most repairs.
HOW IT WORKS
We identify the exact cause before touching anything — no unnecessary parts replacement.
We determine where the leak originates — spout, base, handle, or supply — and identify the faucet type and brand to source the correct repair parts.
We shut off the supply at the angle stop or main valve, disassemble the faucet, and inspect the internal components for wear.
We replace the worn cartridge, O-rings, seats, springs, or other components — using manufacturer-compatible parts for a lasting repair.
We restore water and test for leaks at the spout, base, and supply connections. No drip, no leak, no loose handle — job complete.
