What it usually is
A drip is usually a worn cartridge, washer or seal. Often the cleaner fix is a new faucet, which is a flat rate when you supply it.
What to do first
Shut off the supply valves under the sink if the drip will not stop, and take a photo of the faucet and any label.
The flat rate that covers it
- Faucet replacement (kitchen or bath, your fixture): $229
- Diagnosis / service call (plumbing or electrical): $79
Tacoma's East Side, including the McKinley area, has mid-century homes, older bungalows and a mix of rentals and owner-occupied houses. Many East Side houses have had a few owners and a few repairs, so we look at what was done before we price a new fixture or a leak.
