What faucet problems are common in Sterling Heights?

Sterling Heights faucets mostly fail from age and wear. Many homes are 30 to 60 years old, so builder-grade faucets are worn and valves are aging. Moderately hard water adds light scale to cartridges.

Sterling Heights is largely suburban, with subdivisions, condos and a few older areas. The result is a mix of faucet ages, from original 1960s fixtures to 1990s builder models.
