Faucet Repair in Concord, Massachusetts 01742
90% of homes were built before 2010.
Free to homeowners in Concord — the contractor pays us for the introduction, you never do.
The short answer
In Concord, 90% 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. 90% of the stock in Concord 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.Concord in numbers

What the 2014 rule changed

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.
