Kitchen Faucet Replacement – Clearwater, FL
In July 2025, we completed a routine yet essential kitchen faucet replacement at a residential property in Clearwater, Florida. The old faucet had significant corrosion and reduced water flow, making daily use inconvenient and inefficient. After a quick inspection under the sink, we determined that a full replacement was the best solution.
Using professional tools like a basin wrench and adjustable pliers, we carefully removed the outdated fixture without damaging the sink or surrounding plumbing. Mineral deposits and hardened plumber’s putty were cleaned away to create a clean, watertight base for the new faucet.
The replacement faucet, a single-handle design, was fitted with a fresh application of plumber’s putty and connected using new braided stainless steel supply lines. All connections were sealed with Teflon tape and tested for leaks, ensuring reliable operation moving forward.
After verifying water flow and pressure, we cleaned the work area and provided some faucet maintenance tips. As always, our team at Ultimate Plumbing Solutions prioritizes clean installs, transparent communication, and dependable plumbing workmanship across the Clearwater, FL region.
