What is included in a faucet repair
When you hire us for faucet repair, you get a full diagnosis and a proper fix, not just a parts swap.
Work order
Faucet Repair- Full faucet inspection: We disassemble the faucet and inspect the cartridge, valve seats, springs, O-rings, and supply connections. We check the shutoff valves under the sink too, because a worn angle stop is a common leak source that gets misdiagnosed as a faucet problem.
- Cartridge and seal replacement: We replace the failed cartridge, seats, springs, and O-rings with new parts. We carry Moen, Delta, Kohler, and American Standard cartridges on the truck, so most repairs are finished in one visit without a parts order.
- Mineral scale removal: New Braunfels water leaves calcium and magnesium deposits inside the valve body. We clean the scale off the valve seats and interior surfaces so the new parts seat properly and the faucet operates smoothly.
- Aerator cleaning or replacement: Low flow is often a clogged aerator screen, not a cartridge problem. We remove the aerator, clean or replace the screen, and flush the spout so you get full water pressure back at the fixture.
- Leak test and cleanup: After reassembly, we pressurize the line and run hot and cold water through the faucet. We check under the sink for any weep at the supply connections and dry everything up before we leave. You get a working faucet and a dry cabinet.

Faucet repair New Braunfels TX: what the job actually involves
A dripping faucet wastes water and money every day. Fixing it properly the first time costs less than replacing the fixture and stops the waste at the source.
Faucet repair New Braunfels TX is the diagnosis and correction of leaks, drips, low flow, or handle problems in kitchen and bathroom faucets, and it is needed the moment a fixture stops shutting off cleanly. A repair starts with shutting off the supply lines, then disassembling the handle and valve body to inspect the cartridge, seats, springs, and O-rings. From there we replace the failed component, clean mineral buildup, and reassemble with Teflon tape or plumber's putty where the threads and deck plate call for it. Most single-fixture repairs take 45 to 90 minutes.
New Braunfels water carries a lot of dissolved calcium, and that hardness is what kills faucets here. The same mineral scale that clogs your showerhead eats through rubber seals and grinds down ceramic cartridges. In older homes near Downtown New Braunfels and Gruene, we often find original brass valves that need re-seating rather than a simple cartridge swap. In newer builds out in Veramendi and Vintage Oaks, the issue is usually a failed cartridge in a builder-grade fixture. If you're searching for faucet repair in New Braunfels TX near me, we can usually get eyes on it the same day.

How our faucet repair process works
We keep it simple: find the failure, fix it, test it, and show you what we did.
Tools and methods we use for faucet repair
Each method answers a different question. Together they leave very little to guess.
For packing nuts, supply line connections, and shutoff valves. A proper fit prevents rounding off the hex fittings under the sink.
Some cartridges seat tightly in the valve body after years of mineral buildup. A cartridge puller removes them without damaging the faucet body.
For older compression faucets with scored valve seats. The reseating tool grinds the seat smooth so the new washer seals properly.
Aerator screens are often recessed and hard to grip. The right wrench removes them without scratching the finish on the spout.

How faucet repair works in New Braunfels
New Braunfels water is hard. The calcium and magnesium in the local supply leave scale deposits inside faucets, water heaters, and supply lines. The housing stock matters too. Older homes near Downtown New Braunfels and Gruene often have original brass faucets that need reseating rather than a cartridge swap.
Downtown New Braunfels
Historic homes with original plumbing. We often find brass compression faucets that need reseating rather than cartridge replacement.
Gruene
Older homes and rental properties. Hard water scale is heavy here, and faucet cartridges fail faster than in newer construction.
River Chase
Newer builds with builder-grade fixtures. Ceramic cartridges are common, and they wear out after a few years of hard water exposure.

PhotoKitchen faucet drip stopped in one visit
Before: A homeowner in Creekside had a Moen kitchen faucet that had been dripping for three months. The cartridge was scaled up and the O-rings were worn flat.
After: We replaced the cartridge and O-rings, cleaned the mineral scale out of the valve body, and tested the faucet under pressure. The drip stopped completely.
Bathroom faucet base leak fixed before cabinet damage
Before: A homeowner in Gruene noticed water staining in the cabinet under the guest bathroom sink. The faucet was leaking at the base and the cabinet floor was damp. The O-rings were brittle and the packing nut was loose.
After: We replaced the O-rings and seals, tightened the packing nut to spec, and tested the faucet. The leak stopped and the cabinet stayed dry. We also replaced the supply lines, which were original and brittle.
Low kitchen faucet pressure restored
Before: A homeowner in Vintage Oaks complained that the kitchen faucet had low pressure. The cartridge was fine, but the aerator screen was completely clogged with calcium scale. The sprayer was also weak.
After: We removed the aerator, cleaned the screen, and flushed the spout. We also cleaned the spray head. The pressure came back to full flow. The repair took about 30 minutes.
Common faucet problems we fix in New Braunfels
Most faucet problems fall into a few categories.
Faucet drips constantly even when the handle is off
A steady drip wastes thousands of gallons a year and stains the sink basin.
Water leaks from the base of the faucet onto the counter
Water pools at the base and works its way under the deck plate.
Faucet handle is stiff or hard to turn
A stiff handle usually means mineral buildup inside the valve. If you force it, you can crack the cartridge or break the handle.
Low water pressure at one faucet only
Low flow at a single fixture is usually a clogged aerator or a scaled-up cartridge. It is rarely a supply problem.
Faucet sprays water sideways or the sprayer will not shut off
A sprayer that will not shut off or a faucet that sprays sideways is usually a failed diverter or a clogged spray head.
Why fix a dripping faucet now
A dripping faucet is not just annoying. It is money running down the drain, and it usually gets worse before it gets better.
Stop the water waste
A faucet dripping once per second wastes more than 3,000 gallons a year. That is real money on your New Braunfels utility bill.
Protect the finish and deck
Water that pools at the base of a faucet works its way under the deck plate and into the cabinet below.
Restore full water pressure
Low flow is often a clogged aerator or a scaled-up cartridge, not a supply problem.
Extend the life of the fixture
Replacing the wear parts is almost always cheaper than a full faucet installation, and it keeps a fixture you already like in service for…

What New Braunfels homeowners say
Our kitchen faucet had been dripping for months and I kept putting it off. Called Comal Crest on a Tuesday morning and they had a tech out by 2 p.m. He had the cartridge on the truck, swapped it out, and was done in under an hour. The price was exactly what he quoted. No surprises. Should have called them months ago.
We have hard water out here and it destroys faucets. The bathroom faucet in our guest bath started leaking at the base and I was worried it was a bigger problem. The technician checked everything, replaced the O-rings and the cartridge, and showed me the old parts. He also pointed out that our water softener was not regenerating properly. Honest work.
I manage several rental properties in the New Braunfels area and I use Comal Crest for all the plumbing work. They handle faucet repairs, toilet issues, and water heater problems. That is why I keep calling them.

(737) 707-1110A simple cartridge swap on a kitchen faucet is at the low end. A bathroom faucet with a corroded valve seat or a fixture that needs re-seating runs higher. If the faucet is cracked or the valve body is damaged, replacement may be the better call, and we will tell you that upfront before any work starts.

We handle kitchen faucets, bathroom faucets, laundry sinks, and outdoor hose bibs. Call us and describe the problem. We will tell you what it likely is and get a technician out to fix it.
Hard water is the main reason faucets drip in this part of Texas. New Braunfels water is high in dissolved calcium and magnesium, and that mineral scale wears down rubber seals and scores ceramic cartridges. Once the seal fails, water slips past and drips from the spout. A worn O-ring or a loose valve seat will do the same thing. The fix is to replace the failed part and clean the scale out of the valve body.
