Our Faucet Repair and Installation Services on Long Island

Faucet problems come in many different forms, from a steady drip at the spout to a handle that just won't turn properly. Our licensed plumbers have the experience to diagnose and fix all of them for Long Island residential customers. We focus on providing a lasting repair rather than a temporary patch.

Dripping and Leaking Faucet Repair

A persistent dripping faucet is typically the result of a worn-out washer, a failed internal cartridge, or a corroded valve seat within the fixture. While it might seem like a small issue, a single leaky faucet can waste thousands of gallons of water per year. This can lead to a noticeable increase in water bills for Long Island homeowners. We provide a fast, licensed fix to stop the waste and save you money.

Faucet Handle and Cartridge Repair

If your faucet handles are hard to turn, spin freely, or produce inconsistent water temperatures, the internal cartridge or valve stem has likely failed. This is a very common issue, and it is almost always fixable. T.F. O'Brien carries the necessary parts to handle most of these repairs in a single visit.

Low Water Pressure at the Faucet

If you have lost water pressure specifically at one faucet, the culprit is often a clogged aerator or mineral buildup. Because Long Island water tends to be mineral-heavy, these clogs can happen fairly often. We can determine if your faucet just needs a professional cleaning or if there is a broader pressure issue in your home that needs attention.

Faucet Replacement and Upgrade

There are times when a repair no longer makes sense, especially if your faucet is very old or if parts are no longer available. T.F. O'Brien handles full faucet replacement for both kitchens and bathrooms. Upgrading to a newer, water-efficient model is a great way to reduce water usage and update the look of your room.

Our Sink Repair and Installation Services on Long Island

We are a full-service plumbing team, which means we handle everything surrounding the sink as well. Many faucet problems are actually linked to sink issues, and we make sure the entire setup is working correctly.

Sink Leak Repair

Sinks often develop leaks at the P-trap connections, the supply lines, or the drain basket seals. An ignored sink leak can lead to water damage in your cabinets, floor damage, and even mold growth. We locate the source of the leak precisely and perform a professional repair to protect your home.

Drain & Clog Issues

Slow or clogged sinks are usually caused by a buildup of hair, grease, or soap in the P-trap. While a plunger might help with a surface clog, a recurring drain issue usually needs a licensed plumber to clear it properly. We offer professional drain cleaning as a related service to get your sinks flowing freely again.

Sink Installation & Replacement

If your sink is cracked, outdated, or if you are in the middle of a remodel, we can handle the full replacement. We serve Nassau and Suffolk County homeowners with professional installation for both kitchen and bathroom sinks. This includes removing the old unit, installing the new one, and testing all connections to ensure they are perfectly sealed.
