Most Roswell faucet leaks come from worn cartridges, washers or seals, and a plumber can usually rebuild or replace the faucet in one trip. Roswell is split between the city's water utility and Fulton County, so the water bill tells you which one to call for anything at the meter. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Roswell.
Before and during the call
The number on this page reaches an independent local plumber in the Roswell area. Say whether the faucet still shuts off, whether the stops under the sink work, and whether you've already bought a replacement fixture. That lets them plan a repair or an install on the first trip.
Cost drivers to know about
- Number of fixtures. Having several faucets checked in one visit is usually more efficient than separate calls.
- Hidden damage. A slow leak that has soaked the cabinet floor or subfloor can turn into more work than the faucet itself.
- Faucet style. Pull-down kitchen faucets, wall-mount fixtures and widespread bath sets take longer than a basic centerset.
- Access. Rusted mounting nuts, a deep apron sink or a cramped vanity can stretch a simple repair.
- Supply connectors. Old plastic or braided connectors are often changed while the water is already off.
- Fix or replace. Swapping a cartridge, washer or O-ring takes less time and fewer parts than pulling the old fixture and setting a new one.
- Countertop material. Stone, solid surface and tile change how a faucet comes out and goes back in, and drilling new holes is a bigger job.
Roswell's split water system
The Roswell Water Utility serves only part of the city, about 5,600 customers from its Big Creek plant; everyone else is on Fulton County water, and all sewer is Fulton's. Both disinfect with chlorine. The median home was built in 1989 and about 22% predate 1980, so older stops turn up in the historic district.
Getting ready for the visit
- Set a towel or shallow pan under any active drip
- Note which handle position or setting makes the leak appear
- Find the main shutoff in case a stop valve fails
- Keep a new faucet in its box with all its parts if you've already bought one
- Try the stop valves under the sink gently to see if they close, without forcing them
- For an outdoor spigot, take the hose off and note whether water comes from the spout or the handle
- Look for a brand name on the faucet body, the handle cap or the old box
- Clear everything out of the sink cabinet so the valves and connections are easy to reach
