Free to homeowners in Excelsior Springs — the contractor pays us for the introduction, you never do.
The short answer
In Excelsior Springs, 96% 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.

96% of the homes in Excelsior Springs were built before 2010. Until 4 January 2014 a faucet could lawfully contain up to eight percent lead in the surfaces the water touches.
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.Excelsior Springs 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.

Checking a plumber in Missouri
Missouri has no state plumbing board. Section 341.010 of the Revised Statutes requires a certificate for plumbers working in cities or towns of fifteen thousand or more inhabitants, and the chapter elsewhere recognizes licenses issued by any county or city operating under plumbing rules, so the office that issued one is a local office. Start here. Ask the contractor which municipality licenses them and confirm it with that office before work begins.
