Types of Faucets We Install
At Knight & Day Plumbing, we install all types of faucets with expert precision and dependable results. Whether it’s a simple replacement or a complex setup, our team ensures the job is done right. Here are the most common types we work with:
Compression Faucets
Compression faucets have separate hot and cold handles that work by tightening rubber washers to stop water flow. This classic design is common in older homes and popular with DIYers due to its simplicity and ease of installation. However, the washers wear out over time from friction, often causing drips or leaks. Thankfully, these issues are easy to fix replacing the washer is a quick, affordable solution. With basic maintenance, compression faucets can remain reliable and cost-effective for years.
Cartridge Faucets
Cartridge faucets use a movable cartridge to control water flow and temperature, offering smooth operation with minimal effort. They’re more durable than compression faucets and contain fewer parts that wear out. Most issues like leaks or stiffness can usually be resolved by replacing the cartridge. Easy to maintain and user-friendly, cartridge faucets are a dependable choice for modern bathrooms and kitchens.
Ball-Type Faucets
Ball faucets use a rotating ball mechanism to control both water temperature and flow through a single handle. Common in kitchens, they allow for precise adjustment but contain more internal parts than other faucet types. While durable, they may occasionally require replacement of small components like springs or seals. Still, they’re a popular and practical option for everyday use.
Disc Faucets
Disc faucets are the most modern and durable option, using two ceramic discs to regulate water flow. Their design provides excellent temperature control, leak resistance, and long-term performance with minimal maintenance. While often more expensive upfront, their reliability and water efficiency make them a smart investment for homeowners seeking a low-maintenance, high-performance faucet.
Understanding Faucet Mechanics
Before choosing a faucet for your bathroom, it’s essential to understand how they work. This understanding can help you make an informed decision and select the right type of faucet for your needs.
At Cassidy Plumbing and Heating Inc, we take the time to educate our customers on the various types of faucets, their mechanics, and their pros and cons. We believe that a well-informed customer is better equipped to make the right choice when replacing their faucet.
Choosing the Right Faucet for Your Bathroom
Selecting the right faucet involves more than just looks. Here are four key things to consider:
Design and Aesthetics
Choose a style that complements your bathroom’s overall design and finish. Whether you prefer a sleek modern look or a classic, traditional style, the faucet should match your sink, hardware, and overall décor. Keep in mind that finish options like brushed nickel, chrome, or matte black can tie the whole space together and impact the room’s overall feel.
Ease Use & Maintenance
Single-handle models like disc or cartridge faucets offer easier operation and fewer repairs. This is especially helpful in homes with children or seniors, as they require less strength and coordination. Models with fewer moving parts also tend to have a longer trouble-free lifespan and are easier to service when needed.
Durability and Longevity
Disc faucets offer the longest lifespan, followed by cartridge and ball-type models. If you want a faucet that stands up to daily use with minimal wear, ceramic disc options are ideal. Investing in a durable faucet means fewer breakdowns and lower replacement costs over time.
Water Efficiency
For homes looking to conserve water, disc and cartridge faucets are the most efficient. These models allow better flow control, reducing water waste without sacrificing performance. Many are also compatible with aerators and WaterSense-certified, helping you save on your utility bills.
Most Common FAQS
If your faucet is leaking, corroded, hard to turn, or constantly dripping, it may be time for a replacement. Other signs include low water pressure, outdated style, or frequent repairs.
Yes, you’re welcome to supply your own faucet. However, we’re happy to help you choose a reliable, high-quality model if you prefer. We also install faucets from all major brands.
Most standard faucet installations take about 1 to 2 hours. If modifications to your plumbing are needed, it could take a bit longer but we’ll always explain that in advance.
While some handy homeowners can handle basic installations, having a licensed plumber ensures the job is done correctly, without leaks or water damage. We also ensure everything is up to code.
