Faucet Repair & Installation in Allston
As a homeowner in Allston, you're no stranger to the quirks of older homes like yours. Built during the early 20th century, many of your neighbors' houses have been around for over 90 years, with some dating back to the 1920s and '30s. That's why faucet repair is especially crucial here – a single leaky faucet can waste gallons of water daily, driving up your water bill and wasting precious resources.
Allston's humid continental climate means we see all four seasons, but our rainfall patterns are particularly noteworthy. With an average annual rainfall of 40 inches, the weather can be unpredictable. When it comes to faucet repairs, a leaky faucet can quickly become a major issue – especially when combined with low water pressure, which is common in older homes. In Allston, you'll often find homes with 1920s-era faucets that were designed for lower water pressures. Repairing or replacing these old fixtures requires a delicate touch to ensure proper function and minimize waste.
For homeowners like yours, it's essential to address faucet issues promptly. Our expert technicians can help you determine the best course of action – whether it's repairing an existing faucet or installing a new one that meets your needs and budget. From $100 to $400, our services offer flexibility and affordability for homeowners in Allston who want to keep their faucets working efficiently and effectively.

DIY vs. Call a Pro
Most faucet repairs involve replacing a cartridge or O-rings — turn off water supply, disassemble the handle, swap the part, and reassemble. New faucet installation is straightforward if your sink has matching mounting holes.
Call a professional when:
Call a plumber if the supply valves under the sink are corroded or stuck, if you need to modify the sink countertop, or if copper/PEX connections are needed.
