Hard water accelerates wear here
South Florida’s mineral content builds up inside faucet cartridges and aerators faster than in softer-water regions, which shortens how long an internal part lasts.

Why does a faucet start dripping or get hard to turn?
Inside almost every faucet is a cartridge, washer, or ceramic disc that seals the water off when the handle is closed. That part wears down with normal use, especially with South Florida’s mineral-heavy water, and once it does, a faucet either drips steadily from the spout or gets stiff and hard to turn as mineral buildup accumulates around the moving parts. Neither problem usually means the whole faucet needs replacing outright.
An outdoor spigot or hose bib fails a bit differently, often from a cracked fitting or a washer that has hardened from sun exposure and temperature swings, and it is worth catching early since a slow outdoor leak can run for weeks unnoticed before it ever shows up on a water bill. In most cases, whether indoor or outdoor, replacing the worn part inside is the quick fix that restores the fixture.
What we fix
The faucet problems we see most
Most of these come down to one small worn part inside the fixture.
A steady drip from the spout
A worn cartridge or washer inside the faucet body is almost always the cause of a slow, steady drip that will not stop no matter how tight the handle is turned.
A handle that’s stiff or hard to turn
Mineral buildup around the internal valve mechanism makes a handle feel gritty or stiff well before it fails outright.
Water leaking from around the base of the handle
A worn O-ring inside the handle assembly lets water seep out around the base rather than through the spout itself.
An outdoor spigot that won’t fully shut off
Sun exposure and temperature swings harden the washer inside an outdoor hose bib faster than an indoor faucet ever sees.
Low flow from a single faucet only
When one faucet runs noticeably weaker than the rest of the house, mineral buildup inside the aerator or the faucet body itself is the usual cause.

Why faucets wear out on their own schedule here
Hard water, real weather exposure and older fixtures all play a part.
Outdoor faucets see real weather exposure
Broward County’s sun and humidity swings put more stress on an outdoor spigot’s washers and fittings than a comparable climate further north.
Older fixtures in original condos may need obsolete parts
A faucet original to a 1970s or 80s Lauderhill condo sometimes uses a cartridge style no longer stocked new, which changes whether repair or replacement makes more sense.

Before you call
Faucet repair, answered
Is it cheaper to repair a faucet or just replace it?
Repair is usually cheaper for a fixture that is otherwise in good shape. Replacement makes more sense for an older faucet whose parts are hard to find.
Can a dripping faucet actually waste much water?
Yes, a steady drip adds up to real gallons over a month, which is part of why it is worth fixing rather than living with it.
Do you repair outdoor spigots and hose bibs too?
Yes, both indoor fixtures and outdoor spigots, including the shutoff valve feeding them.
What if my faucet’s cartridge isn’t a common size?
An uncommon or discontinued part sometimes tips the decision toward replacement, which gets explained clearly before any work starts.
