Professional Faucet Repair and Restoration Services

Faucet malfunctions manifest through various symptoms including persistent dripping, reduced water pressure, handle stiffness, temperature control issues, and visible corrosion around bases and connections. Our family-owned company has perfected repair techniques for compression, ball, cartridge, and ceramic disk faucets over our 15 years serving homeowners. Each faucet type requires specific expertise and replacement components, which our senior technicians maintain in fully stocked service vehicles for immediate repairs during scheduled appointments or 24/7 emergency calls.

Kitchen faucets endure particularly heavy usage, averaging 40 activations daily in typical households. Pull-down sprayers develop leaks at connection points, while single-handle models experience cartridge wear affecting temperature mixing valves. Bathroom faucets face different challenges including aerator clogs from sediment accumulation and handle loosening from repeated operation. We provide comprehensive evaluations identifying whether repairs offer long-term value or if replacement better serves homeowner interests, always maintaining full transparency about options and associated benefits.

Toilet Repair Excellence and Water Conservation

Toilet fixtures account for approximately 30% of residential water consumption, making proper function essential for conservation and cost control. Common toilet problems we address include phantom flushing caused by deteriorated flappers, continuous running from faulty fill valves, weak flush performance from partial clogs or worn components, and tank-to-bowl leaks requiring new gaskets and hardware. Our diagnostic process examines all internal mechanisms, water level adjustments, chain tensions, and seal integrity to ensure comprehensive solutions.

Modern toilet designs incorporate dual-flush technology and pressure-assist mechanisms requiring specialized knowledge for proper repair and adjustment. We maintain expertise across all major manufacturers and models, understanding unique characteristics affecting repair approaches. Tank components typically last five to seven years before requiring replacement, though water quality and usage patterns significantly influence longevity. Our technicians explain replacement timing recommendations based on actual component conditions rather than arbitrary schedules.

Showerhead and Bathtub Fixture Solutions

Shower and bathtub fixtures present unique repair challenges due to concealed plumbing connections and moisture exposure concerns. We frequently repair:

  • Diverter valves that fail to properly redirect water between tub spouts and showerheads
  • Mixing valves causing temperature fluctuations or scalding risks
  • Showerhead connections developing leaks behind walls requiring precise diagnosis
  • Drain assemblies with worn stoppers affecting proper drainage
  • Pressure balance cartridges preventing consistent water temperature

Anti-scald valves now required by plumbing codes need periodic adjustment and eventual replacement to maintain safety standards. Our repair services include thorough testing ensuring proper temperature limits while maintaining comfortable shower experiences.

Emergency Fixture Repair and Preventive Maintenance

Fixture emergencies rarely occur at convenient times, which explains why we maintain 24/7 emergency service availability throughout Garfield, Hackensack, Hasbrough, Lodi, Passaic, Saddlebrook, Edison Township, Hasbrouck Heights, Highland Park, and Woodbridge, NJ.

Our emergency response team arrives equipped for temporary stabilization and permanent repairs, minimizing disruption while protecting property.

Preventive maintenance extends fixture lifespans significantly while identifying developing problems before emergency situations arise. Annual fixture inspections reveal early warning signs including subtle leaks, corrosion patterns, and performance degradation. We document fixture conditions during routine plumbing evaluations, tracking changes over time and recommending proactive repairs when cost-effective.

Customer Reviews

I had my annual maintenance today for my boiler and mini splits and couldn’t be happier with the service. Angel Garcia from First Choice Plumbing and HVAC went above and beyond. He was patient when I asked questions, very thorough, and took great care of everything like it was his own home. You can tell he truly loves what he does, and that the company really values its people. Highly recommend Angel and the First Choice team!

Chris R

The First Choice techs are always great but Angel was particularly outstanding today. He did a very thorough maintenance and cleaning check. He was super patient with all of my questions and really helped us plan out preventative maintenance on our system. Highly recommend Angel and First Choice!

Cassandra S

We had Alex Dicrosta of First Choice come check our furnace today because it was leaking water when the AC was on. Alex diagnosed the issue quickly that it was a clogged pipe going from the water pump. He unclogged the pipe and confirmed that was the cause of the leak. Alex is extreme knowledgeable, friendly, and customer focused. He even checked the rest of the unit to make sure everything was working properly before he left. I will definitely request Alex the next time I need AC or heating service from First Choice.
