Can I supply my own faucet for you to install?

Yes. We provide professional installation for customer-supplied faucets throughout Jacksonville. We do recommend reviewing your selection before purchase to ensure it is compatible with your sink's hole configuration and water pressure. For high-end finishes in the 904, we can also recommend brands that hold up well against Jacksonville's 15.3 GPG hard water.

My faucet is leaking under the sink — what's causing it?

In most cases, an under-sink leak in Jacksonville homes is caused by one of three things: a mismatched supply line connection (wrong thread type), a worn flexible supply hose that has failed due to age or Jacksonville's aggressive water chemistry, or a failed shut-off valve that no longer seats properly. We diagnose the exact source before recommending a repair — avoiding unnecessary parts replacement.

How do I clean hard water spots off my faucet?

A 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water applied with a cloth will dissolve calcium deposits from most faucet finishes. Avoid using on unlacquered brass or matte black finishes, as acids can damage them. For a permanent solution, we recommend a whole-home water softener or filtration system — it's the only way to stop scale from forming rather than just cleaning it after the fact.

How long does faucet installation take?

A standard kitchen or bathroom faucet replacement typically takes 1-2 hours, including shutting off the supply, removing the old faucet, installing the new faucet, connecting supply lines, and testing for leaks. More complex installations — like widespread bathroom faucets with separate handles or farmhouse sinks — may take 2-4 hours depending on the configuration.

Sink & Faucet Installation Jacksonville FL

Professional Sink & Faucet Services for the 904

Whether you are upgrading to a farmhouse sink in your kitchen remodel or replacing a dripping bathroom faucet, sink and faucet installation requires more than just connecting supply lines. In Jacksonville, where hard water rapidly calcifies aerators and corrodes supply stops, proper material selection and installation technique make the difference between a fixture that lasts years and one that fails within months.

At RiverCity Plumbing, we install and repair all fixture types throughout the 904 — from drop-in kitchen sinks in Southside to widespread bathroom faucets in San Marco (32207) to touchless sensor faucets in Mandarin (32223). We also replace aging supply lines and shut-off valves that commonly fail in Jacksonville’s older homes.

Why Jacksonville is Hard on Sinks & Faucets

15.3 GPG Hard Water Calcification

Jacksonville water averages 15.3 grains per gallon of hardness. Calcium deposits clog aerators, reduce water pressure, and permanently damage faucet cartridges. We recommend water softeners for lasting protection.

Coastal Salt-Air Pitting

Fixtures in Jacksonville Beach (32250) and Atlantic Beach face aggressive salt-air corrosion. We specify marine-grade finishes and stainless supply stops for coastal properties.

Corroded Supply Lines

Older San Marco (32207) homes with original steel supply lines under sinks often fail at the shut-off valve. We replace corroded stops and supply hoses as part of every faucet installation.

Humidity & Gasket Decay

North Florida’s high humidity accelerates the decay of rubber gaskets and O-rings inside faucet bodies. Dripping faucets in Jacksonville’s humid climate often indicate worn internal seals rather than valve failure.
