Faucet Repair & Replacement in Vernal, UT

Stop the Drip — and the Water It’s Wasting

A dripping faucet is the repair homeowners put off longest and regret most. A single faucet losing one drip per second wastes roughly 3,000 gallons a year, and the same worn cartridge that causes the drip is usually what seizes the handle or starts a leak under the sink.

CPR (Clausse Plumbing Repair & Water Treatment) repairs and replaces kitchen, bathroom, tub, shower, and outdoor faucets across Vernal and Uintah County — usually in a single visit.

Signs Your Faucet Needs Repair or Replacement

Call CPR if you notice:

  • A drip that keeps going after the handle is fully off
  • A handle that’s stiff, loose, or spins without shutting the water down
  • Water pooling around the base of the faucet or under the sink
  • Weak or sputtering flow from one fixture
  • Rust, white crust, or mineral buildup on the spout and aerator
  • Squealing or hammering when you turn the water on or off

Most of these are a worn cartridge, washer, or O-ring — inexpensive parts, and a much smaller job than the cabinet damage a slow under-sink leak causes if it’s left alone.

Our Faucet Services in Vernal, UT

Kitchen Faucet Repair & Replacement
Drips, stiff handles, failed sprayers and pull-downs, and leaks where the faucet meets the sink. We repair what’s worth repairing and give you a straight answer when replacement is the better value.

Bathroom & Lavatory Faucets
Single-handle and widespread faucets, worn cartridges, corroded supply connections, and pop-up drain assemblies that no longer seal.

Tub & Shower Valve Repair
A shower that drips or won’t hold temperature usually needs a new cartridge or valve — one of the most common repairs we make, and one of the easiest to keep putting off.

Outdoor Faucets & Hose Bibs
Split hose bibs and frost-free sillcocks that let go after a hard Basin freeze. We repair or replace them and check how the line is protected going into winter.

New Faucet Installation
Bought your own fixture, or remodeling? We install it properly — supply lines, shutoff valves, and drain connections all checked and tested before we leave.

If the leak is coming from the pipe rather than the fixture, see our water leak repair services.

Our Faucet Repair Process

Look It Over: We identify the faucet type and what’s actually failing — cartridge, seat, seal, or the supply connection underneath.

Repair or Replace, Honestly: If a $20 cartridge fixes it, that’s what we’ll tell you. If the body is corroded through or parts are long discontinued, we’ll say that too.

Upfront Quote: You approve the price before we start.

Repair & Test: We make the repair, run the fixture, and check underneath for drips before we pack up.

Clean Finish: Drop cloths down, cabinet cleared and left dry.

Emergency Faucet & Fixture Repair

If a faucet or supply line is spraying and you can’t get it stopped, shut off the fixture’s valve under the sink — or your home’s main valve — and call us. CPR offers 24/7 emergency plumbing repair in Vernal, Naples, Maeser, Jensen, and across Uintah County.

Make Your Faucets Last Longer

Hard water is the number one reason faucets fail early in this area. Mineral scale chews through cartridges, seals, and aerators years before they should wear out. To get more life out of your fixtures:

  • Clean aerators a couple of times a year to clear scale
  • Don’t crank a handle shut — over-tightening is what destroys seats and washers
  • Disconnect hoses from outdoor faucets before the first freeze
  • Fix a small drip early, before it damages the cabinet or countertop
  • Consider a water softener — it protects every fixture and appliance in the house, not just the one that’s dripping

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it cheaper to repair or replace a faucet?

Usually repair. A worn cartridge or set of seals is an inexpensive part and a quick job. Replacement makes more sense when the faucet body is corroded through, the finish is failing, or parts for that model are discontinued — we’ll tell you which situation you’re in before you spend anything.

How long does a faucet repair take?

Most repairs and straightforward replacements are done in a single visit, often under an hour once we have the right part.

Can you install a faucet I bought myself?

Yes. Bring it home from anywhere you like and we’ll install it, including the supply lines, shutoff valves, and drain connections.

Why does my shower drip after I shut it off?

Almost always a worn valve cartridge. It’s a common repair and worth doing early — a dripping shower valve wastes hot water, which means you’re paying to heat water going down the drain.

My outdoor faucet split over the winter. Can it be repaired?

Often yes. If the hose bib or sillcock cracked from freezing we can usually replace the fixture itself; if the line behind it split too, we’ll repair that at the same time.
