Faucet Repair in Bennett, CO

What happens when you call

You will be connected with an independent plumber who serves Bennett. Describe the faucet, whether it drips from the spout, leaks under the handle or around the base, and whether the stops under the sink work. If the faucet is newer, have the brand and model handy; many come with warranty cartridges.

At the house, the plumber shuts off the water, opens the faucet and checks the cartridge, seals and aerator. You will hear the options before work begins.

Cost factors

• Cartridge or seal replacement versus a new faucet
• Warranty coverage on newer fixtures
• Stops and supply lines replaced in the same visit
• Access under the sink
• Added fixtures such as a filter faucet

Local conditions

Bennett is a small eastern-plains town on the I-70 corridor, with a small-town feel and a large share of homes built since 2000. The median home was built in 2000, and about 27% are older than 1980. Inside town limits, the Town of Bennett supplies, treats and delivers groundwater from 11 Denver Basin aquifer wells, disinfected with chlorine. The town's report does not state hardness. The 80102 ZIP also covers unincorporated land outside town limits where service was not verified, so tell the plumber what your home uses.

One water note matters if you are thinking about a drinking-water filter faucet. The town's report says naturally occurring fluoride in its water has tested above the 2 mg/L secondary, non-enforceable standard, and it advises alternative drinking water for children under nine. Standard carbon filters are not designed to remove fluoride, so if that advisory matters to your household, ask the plumber about filtration made for it and check the town's current report.

The town keeps a service line inventory and can answer questions at 303-644-3249. Permits go through the Town of Bennett Building Department on Muegge Way.

Before the plumber arrives

• Clear out the sink cabinet
• Find the main shutoff
• Locate any faucet warranty papers
• Photograph the faucet and the connections underneath
• Note when the problem started
• If you live outside town limits, know where your water comes from

Bennett's open plains setting also means hard freezes. Disconnect outdoor hoses in fall so spigots can drain, and if a bib leaks inside the wall when you first use it in spring, shut it off and have it checked.
