Faucet repair in Greenville and the Upstate
Faucet repair for drips, leaks under the sink, weak flow and outdoor faucets that will not shut off. Usually a worn part, usually a quick fix.
Why is my faucet dripping?
A dripping faucet almost always has a worn cartridge, washer, O-ring or valve seat. Replacing the worn part stops the drip. Ethical Plumbing repairs kitchen, bathroom, tub and outdoor faucets, or tells you when a new faucet costs less. Call 864-438-0525.

- Outdoor faucets and hose bibs
Repair the faucet you like
Most quality faucets are built to be repaired. A new cartridge or seal brings them back to like-new for far less than a replacement. We identify the brand and model, replace the worn parts and check the supply lines and shutoffs under the sink.
If the faucet is a low-end model without replacement parts, or the body itself is cracked or corroded, we will say so and price a new faucet.
Signs your faucet needs repair
Call when you notice:
- A drip from the spout
- Water under the sink or around the base
- Weak or sputtering flow
- A handle that is stiff or loose
- Hot and cold mixing wrong
- An outdoor faucet that leaks or will not shut off

Outdoor faucets in the Upstate
Outdoor faucets are the most common freeze casualty in Upstate homes. A hose left connected in a hard freeze can split a frost-free faucet inside the wall, and the leak only shows up the next time you turn it on. Disconnect hoses before freezing weather, and see frozen pipe repair for more.

Faucet repair FAQs
Is it worth repairing a dripping faucet?
Usually yes, for any quality faucet. Parts are inexpensive compared with a new faucet.
Why is my faucet flow weak?
A clogged aerator or cartridge is the usual cause. If every faucet is weak, the problem may be water pressure or the pipes.
Why is water under my kitchen sink?
Check the supply lines, the faucet base and the drain connections. A leaking sprayer hose is a common culprit.
My outdoor faucet leaks inside the wall. What happened?
Most likely it froze with a hose attached. The faucet needs replacing; the wall should be checked for water.
Do you repair single-handle faucets?
Yes. Most single-handle faucets have a replaceable cartridge.
Can you repair a faucet without the brand name?
Usually. We identify the cartridge type and source the right part.
How long does a faucet repair take?
Most repairs take under an hour once we have the part.
Should I replace the shutoff valves too?
If they are old or do not shut off fully, yes. We check them on every faucet call.
