About Chattanooga

Chattanooga sits in a bend of the Tennessee River near the Georgia line, in Hamilton County, with ridges and mountains on several sides. Older cottages in St. Elmo and Highland Park and bungalows on the North Shore share the map with suburban growth in Hixson and East Brainerd. Hills can mean long pipe runs, and older homes often have decades-old valves that are worth checking during any repair.

What faucet problems are common in Chattanooga?

Chattanooga faucets often fail from mineral buildup and age. Older cottages have original valves, and sloped lots sometimes mean long runs of aging pipe.

Chattanooga is a mix of historic neighborhoods, ridge-top homes and newer suburbs. Older homes tend to need valve and supply line work, while newer ones more often need cartridge or fixture replacement.

How does Chattanooga's water affect faucets?

What should I do first if a faucet leaks in Chattanooga?

Water coming from a faucet that will not shut off in Chattanooga? Close the valves under the sink first. If they are stuck or missing, close the main valve. Then call a pro. Cleaning up early keeps water out of cabinets, floors and the walls below.

Turn both sink valves clockwise, hot and cold.
Close the main valve if a sink valve will not move.
Lay towels around the leak and empty the cabinet.
Do not run the dishwasher or washer until it is fixed.
Write down when the leak started for the contractor.

Turn the valves under the sink clockwise to stop the flow. If a valve will not close, shut the main valve and call a pro. Do not force an old valve.
