Faucet Repair in Mercer Island, Washington 98040
91% of homes were built before 2010.
Free to homeowners in Mercer Island — the contractor pays us for the introduction, you never do.
The short answer
In Mercer Island, 91% 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 Mercer Island, 91% 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.Mercer Island in numbers

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.
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.
