Faucet Installation & Replacement in Phoenix, AZ

Upgrade Your Home’s Faucet Today

Leaking or broken faucets can be very annoying, not to mention the water they waste dripping down your drains. Faucet repairs can be as simple as tightening a few fittings, or as complex as rebuilding the entire faucet assembly. Many times it is best to replace an old faucet with a brand a new one. Beware of the urge to do-it-yourself, however. It may look simple, but the confined space under and behind most sinks requires special tools. The same goes for in-wall assemblies in most showers and tubs. Fortunately, when you need professional faucet installation and replacement in Phoenix, Rainforest Plumbing & Air is here to get the job done ASAP!

What Are the Different Types of Faucets?

The most common type of faucet found in kitchens and bathrooms is the cartridge faucet, which operates with a movable stem cartridge that moves up and down to regulate water flow. As opposed to a ball faucet that you push back to turn on, a single handle cartridge faucet operates in an “up/down” motion to adjust water volume and a “left/right” motion for temperature.

Modern faucets include an aerator for water conservation and efficiency, too. The aerator breaks up the stream of water into small droplets. A faucet aerator also helps to meet U.S. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certifications by limiting the total flow of water.

Some faucets have detachable heads to make washing dishes more effective as well, and almost all taps today are mixer taps (except for those found feeding the washing machine). This means that they provide both hot and cold water through one outlet. This allows the user to mix both hot and cold to find a suitable temperature.
