Whether it's dripping from the spout, leaking at the base, or seeping from under the handle — Downing Plumbing finds the source and stops the leak throughout Lake, Porter, and LaPorte County.
LEAKING FAUCET REPAIR
A drip from the spout when the faucet is off means a worn internal valve component — cartridge, ceramic disc, ball, or seat-and-spring depending on the faucet type. These are the moving parts inside every faucet that create a watertight seal when closed. As they wear, they stop sealing completely and water slowly drips through.
A leak at the base of the spout — water pooling around the faucet body on the counter — points to deteriorated O-rings that seal the spout to the faucet body. A leak at or under the handle typically means worn stem packing or a damaged cartridge. Leaks from the supply connections under the sink are a separate issue — loose fittings or worn supply line connections.
Downing Plumbing diagnoses which type of leak you have and repairs the correct component. Many leaking faucet repairs are completed in under an hour with parts we carry on the truck. If a faucet is too old or worn to repair economically, we'll tell you straight and can install a replacement the same day.

HOW IT WORKS
We find the leak source before touching anything — then fix only what's actually causing it.
We observe where water is coming from — spout, base, handle, or under the sink — to identify the leak source before disassembly.
We identify whether it's a ball, cartridge, ceramic disc, or compression faucet to determine the correct repair components needed.
We replace the worn cartridge, O-rings, seats, springs, or other failed component with the correct manufacturer-compatible part.
We restore water and verify no drip from the spout, no leak at the base or handle, and no seep from supply connections.
