Trace the drip before you buy parts
- Close the fixture stops under the sink (hot and cold). If they won’t turn, don’t force them—see water shutoff valve.
- Open the faucet briefly to relieve pressure; plug the drain so screws aren’t lost.
- Dry the cabinet and watch: drip from spout vs. handle vs. supply nuts vs. base.
- Photograph the faucet (brand/model if stamped) before any teardown—helpful where Virginia Beach housing spans many cartridge eras.
- Clean the aerator if grit from local water is obvious; don’t overtighten seats.
- Replace cartridges/O-rings only if you’re comfortable and have matched parts.
- Recheck with a dry paper towel under the supplies while someone operates the handles.

Local considerations in Virginia Beach
- Water / scale: variable; coastal corrosion.
- Housing stock: slabs; coastal multifamily. Cabinet damage shows up faster in older vanities and basements.
- Climate backdrop: coastal humidity; nor'easters; tropical—usually secondary to cartridge/seat wear; outdoor valves still follow weather.
- Local example: corroded outdoor shower vs inland cartridge drip.
- Access: HOA; flood-zone access.
What to tell the pro
Bring to the call:
- Full address in Virginia Beach / surrounding coverage area
- Kitchen vs. bathroom; how long it dripped
- What you tried (stops, cartridge, aerator)
- Whether fixture stops work
- Access notes (HOA; flood-zone access)
Ask about diagnostic or trip fees before work starts. No site can honestly promise arrival times or fixed prices without seeing the problem.
