How much water does a dripping faucet waste?

A faucet dripping once per second wastes about 3,000 gallons per year — a noticeable increase on your JEA water bill. Two dripping faucets can add $30–$50 per month in wasted water costs.

Why do faucet cartridges wear out so fast in Jacksonville?

Jacksonville's water hardness averages 15.3 GPG. Mineral deposits coat the ceramic disc and rubber O-rings inside faucet cartridges, causing premature wear. A water softener significantly extends faucet cartridge life.

Can you install a faucet I already purchased?

Yes. We install customer-supplied faucets from any brand — Moen, Delta, Kohler, Pfister, American Standard, and others. We verify the connections meet code and test for leaks before we leave.

What's causing low water pressure at my kitchen faucet?

The most common cause is a clogged aerator — the small screen at the tip of your faucet. Jacksonville's hard water deposits minerals that plug the aerator over time. Cleaning or replacing the aerator usually restores full pressure instantly.

Stop the Drip — Expert Faucet Service for Jacksonville Homes

A single dripping faucet wastes over 3,000 gallons of water per year — a slow drain on your JEA bill that adds up fast. At RiverCity Plumbing, we diagnose and fix faucet problems at their source: worn cartridges, failed O-rings, cracked valve seats, and mineral-corroded aerators. We also supply and install new faucets from all major brands when replacement is the right call.

Jacksonville’s hard water is uniquely destructive to faucet internals, and we stock the right mineral-resistant parts to extend faucet life in this environment.

How Jacksonville Hard Water Destroys Faucets

Cartridge Scaling

At 15.3 GPG, Jacksonville’s water leaves mineral deposits inside faucet cartridges that cause stiff handles, dripping, and eventual seizing. Ceramic disc cartridges last longer but still need periodic replacement in hard water environments.

O-Ring Deterioration

The rubber O-rings that seal faucet bodies are chemically degraded by chloramine — the disinfectant JEA uses in Jacksonville’s water supply. This causes handle leaks and drips at the spout base. We use chloramine-resistant O-ring materials for longer-lasting repairs.

Aerator Clogging

Jacksonville’s calcium carbonate deposits visibly build up in faucet aerators, restricting flow. In homes without a water softener, aerator screens may need cleaning every 6–12 months.
