Hard water is a fact of life across the Inland Empire, and faucets in Fontana homes show it first. Mineral scale builds up in aerators, cartridges and valve seats, which leads to weak flow, sputtering, handles that get stiff and drips that will not stop. Cleaning or replacing the aerator fixes some flow problems, but a steady drip usually means a worn cartridge or seal.
Leaks are easier to sort out if you know where the water appears. A drip from the spout is normally an internal part. Water around the base or under the sink can come from O-rings, loose mounting, or the supply lines and shutoff valves under the cabinet, which in older Fontana homes may be stiff or corroded. Outdoor hose bibs also take a beating from summer heat and are a common source of drips.
Before calling, find the shutoff valves under the sink and note the faucet brand if you can. Ask the contractor whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense for your fixture, and confirm any diagnostic fee and the scope in writing.
More help: the statewide faucet repair guide covers cartridges, aerators and hard water scale. For hidden leaks, see leak detection and pipe repair, and for local contacts the Fontana plumbing guide.
