Why Charleston homeowners call for faucet repair
Cartridge, ceramic disc, and compression faucets fail differently. A licensed plumber matches parts to the fixture instead of guessing at the big-box wall.
Cartridge and valve types follow the age of the house. Raised single houses and cottages with cast iron and galvanized on the peninsula; slab ranches in West Ashley. Nearby towns: Mount Pleasant, North Charleston, Summerville, James Island.
Water chemistry is what wears them out. High water table and storm surge load laterals; humidity shortens tanks in sealed closets. Common dispatch ZIPs in Charleston include 29401, 29403, 29407, 29412. Nearby codes are covered — call with yours.
If the shutoff under the sink is seized, say so on the call so the plumber is ready.
