The Faucet Won't Stop Dripping
Worn cartridges, seals or other internal components can allow water to keep dripping even when the faucet is turned off.
A kitchen faucet gets used every day, so when it starts leaking, loosening up or no longer works the way it should, the problem becomes noticeable fast.
John The Plumber & Drain Cleaning provides professional kitchen faucet installation, replacement and repair throughout Ottawa. Whether you're updating your kitchen, replacing an older fixture or dealing with an annoying faucet problem, our licensed plumbers can help.
We can also help with broader faucet installation services and residential plumbing services in Ottawa.
Some kitchen faucet problems can be repaired. Others are signs that the fixture is worn, damaged or simply ready for replacement. Here are some of the most common issues our Ottawa plumbers see.
Worn cartridges, seals or other internal components can allow water to keep dripping even when the faucet is turned off.
Water collecting around the faucet body can point to worn seals, loose connections or internal damage.
Mineral buildup, restricted aerators, faucet components or supply issues can reduce the amount of water coming from the spout.
Handles that wobble, stick or no longer control the water properly may have worn cartridges, hardware or mounting components.
A kitchen faucet sprayer that sticks, leaks, loses pressure or no longer retracts properly may need repair or replacement.
If the faucet is corroded, damaged or repeatedly needs service, replacing it may make more sense than continuing to repair an aging fixture.
Our plumbers can inspect the faucet, identify the problem and explain whether repair or replacement is the more practical option.
If you've already selected a compatible kitchen faucet, our plumbers can remove the old fixture, install the new one and check the accessible water connections for proper operation.
A brand-new kitchen faucet installation is often part of a renovation, sink replacement or kitchen upgrade. John The Plumber & Drain Cleaning can install compatible kitchen faucets and connect them properly to the existing plumbing setup.
Renovations are a great time to install a new kitchen faucet, especially when the sink, countertop or surrounding fixtures are also being updated.
Whether you're adding a faucet to a newly finished kitchen or replacing a temporary fixture after other renovation work, proper installation helps ensure reliable operation from day one.
Faucet style, mounting-hole configuration, available clearance and accessible water connections all matter. If you've already purchased a fixture, our plumber can assess the setup and confirm whether it is suitable for the installation.
Book your kitchen faucet installation with John The Plumber & Drain Cleaning and we'll help get the new fixture connected and ready to use.
From new kitchen faucet installation to combined plumbing repairs, our team works to keep the process clear, professional and tidy from start to finish.
“I engaged John the Plumber to install a new kitchen faucet and repair a stuck toilet shut off valve. Eric completed the work with impressive efficiency and professionalism. He took great care to explain the work needed, provided an accurate quote, and completed the work to my full satisfaction. I also appreciated his effort to restore water service carefully to minimise pipe chatter and air blocks, to fully insure proper performance of the installed elements, and to thoroughly clean all work areas. I will be a repeat customer of John the Plumber.”
“This was our first time using John The Plumber, we decided to call them based on their great online reviews, and they did not disappoint! They came twice, first to identify the problem with our toilet and kitchen faucet and the second time to make the needed repairs (installation of a new toilet and faucet), Both plumbers (Eric and Jeff) were wonderful! Eric came to identify the problem at hand and did a great job patiently explaining everything and what type of toilet we needed to buy. Jeff came and did our installations, he was super friendly and did such a great, clean job installing our new toilet/kitchen faucet and fixing a second toilet. He explained everything step by step and was very patient in answering our many questions! We were very happy and impressed with John The Plumber and will definitely be using their services again in the future! Thank you Eric and Jeff for all your great work, we truly appreciate it!!!”

Many kitchen faucet problems can be repaired when the issue involves a cartridge, seal, connection or another serviceable component. Replacement may make more sense when the faucet is heavily worn, corroded, damaged or repeatedly needs repairs.
Persistent dripping can be caused by worn cartridges, seals, valve components or other internal parts. If the faucet continues leaking after the handle is fully closed, a plumber can inspect the fixture and determine whether repair or replacement is appropriate.
Water beneath a kitchen sink may come from faucet supply lines, shutoff valves, drain connections, the faucet itself or another nearby plumbing component. If the source is unclear, our leak detection and repair service can help locate the problem.
Often, yes. The new faucet needs to be compatible with the sink or countertop openings, available clearance and existing plumbing connections. Our plumber can inspect the setup and confirm whether your chosen faucet is suitable for installation.
Low flow can be caused by mineral buildup in the aerator, restrictions inside the faucet, problems with the sprayer, supply-line issues or another plumbing condition. If cleaning the aerator does not restore normal flow, the faucet or surrounding plumbing may need inspection.
Yes, depending on the faucet and the condition of its components. Problems with pull-down or pull-out faucets can involve the hose, spray head, diverter, cartridge or retracting mechanism. If replacement makes more sense, we can also install a new compatible kitchen faucet.
