Faucet Repair in Lafayette, California 94549
94% of homes were built before 2010.
Free to homeowners in Lafayette — the contractor pays us for the introduction, you never do.
The short answer
In Lafayette, 94% of housing was built before 2010. The lead-free rule that took effect on 4 January 2014 governs what may be sold, not what must be removed, so an older faucet is not unlawful - but it decides which replacement parts are.
Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey, table B25034, five-year estimates. A margin of error is published alongside every estimate.
In Lafayette, 94% of housing predates 2010, and so predates the 2014 lead-free rule. That does not make a tap unsafe; it decides which replacement parts are legal to put back in it.
What this site is
FaucetMend is a referral service, not a contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands. We carry out no work, we sell no fixtures, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call. Nothing here is a statement about the water at any address; only a test of that water can tell you about it.Lafayette in numbers

Faucet Repair coverage in Lafayette, CA
Lafayette is in Contra Costa County, California. Its ZIP code is 94549. We route faucet repair calls from 94549.
Repair or replace
A cartridge costs a fraction of a faucet and takes the same visit. Replacement is the answer when the body is pitted, when the finish has failed, or when the parts are no longer made — not simply because the tap is old.
A drip from the spout is not a drip from the handle
They are different faults with different parts. A spout drip is the cartridge or the seats; a handle drip is the packing or the O-ring under it. Which one you have can be told from the handle alone, in about a minute, without tools.
