Urgent Call to Replace Bathroom Faucet in Greer, SC Rental Unit

When a property management company in Greer, SC, discovered a leaking bathroom faucet in one of their rental units, they called CB Smith Plumbing for immediate service. Our team was dispatched the same day to replace the bathroom faucet, which had begun leaking heavily and posed a risk of water damage to the vanity and surrounding drywall.

Alongside the faucet installation, we offered guidance on future faucet and fixture upgrades that would help reduce water waste and lower utility bills. You can learn more about these services on our faucet and fixture service page.

The original faucet in the rental unit’s bathroom was over a decade old. It showed signs of corrosion, had weak water pressure, and recently began leaking steadily from the base. The tenant reported the issue to the landlord after noticing water pooling behind the sink, which could have led to structural damage and mold growth if left unresolved.

We assessed the fixture on arrival and confirmed the internal cartridge had failed, causing constant dripping and pressure issues. The best course of action was a full faucet replacement, rather than attempting a temporary repair.

CB Smith Plumbing performed a same-day replacement using a modern, water-efficient faucet that matched the rental’s design and budget. Our licensed technician:

1. Turned off the water supply to prevent further leakage.
2. Carefully removed the old faucet and cleaned mineral deposits from the sink surface.
3. Installed the new fixture, ensuring all gaskets, washers, and valves were properly sealed.
4. Tested for pressure, function, and any potential leaks.
5. Educated the property manager on recommended maintenance to avoid future issues.

The project was completed within two hours, and the tenant had a fully functioning faucet the same day.

Small plumbing issues—like a dripping faucet—may seem minor, but they add up quickly in both water waste and repair costs. A leaking faucet can waste hundreds of gallons of water annually, leading to inflated utility bills. Worse, persistent leaks can weaken cabinets, walls, and flooring, resulting in costly repairs.

Here’s why regular faucet and fixture maintenance adds value to your home:

• Reduced water bills from improved efficiency
• Lower risk of water damage, mold, and rot
• Increased property value with updated, functional fixtures
• Improved aesthetics with modern designs
