In Hawthorne's older homes and apartment buildings, faucets are often newer than the plumbing behind them. A replacement faucet may be mounted on old supply stubs with shutoff valves that have not been turned in years. When those valves are stiff or leak once moved, a simple faucet repair can turn into a valve replacement, so it helps to check them gently before calling.
A drip from the spout usually means a worn cartridge or washer. Water at the base or inside the cabinet can come from O-rings, a loose mount or the supply lines. In apartments, a faucet leak inside a cabinet can damage the unit below, so report it to the manager, since the fixture usually belongs to the owner.
Note the faucet brand if visible and where the water appears. Ask the contractor whether repair or replacement makes more sense, and confirm any fee and the scope in writing.
More help: the statewide faucet repair guide explains cartridges and valves. For hidden leaks see leak detection and pipe repair, and for local contacts the Hawthorne plumbing guide.

What does faucet repair involve?
Faucet repair depends on the faucet design and where the leak or flow problem occurs. A dripping spout, leaking handle and leak below the sink may require different parts or a separate supply-line repair.
What information should I give the contractor?
- Kitchen, bathroom or outdoor faucet and the visible leak location
- The brand/model if known and whether hot, cold or both are affected
- Whether the issue is a drip, a loose fixture or reduced flow
