Faucet Repair in Ottawa, Illinois 61350
95% of homes were built before 2010.
Free to homeowners in Ottawa — the contractor pays us for the introduction, you never do.
The short answer
In Ottawa, 95% 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.
Almost every faucet complaint is one of four faults in one of four mechanisms. 95% of the stock in Ottawa was built before 2010.
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.Ottawa in numbers

One slow tap is usually the aerator
If a single fixture runs weak while the rest of the house is normal, the aerator at the end of the spout is the first thing to unscrew. It is the simplest fix in plumbing and it does not need anybody called out.
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.
