Heise's Plumbing recently completed a professional Blanco kitchen faucet leak repair and handheld shower head adjustment at a residence in the Castro District of San Francisco, California. The customer reported a persistent water leak from the joint of the single-unit kitchen faucet handle and a constant drip from the bathroom handheld shower head. Our plumber performed a detailed diagnosis and replaced the internal cartridge of the Blanco kitchen faucet to resolve the handle leak. We then inspected the handheld shower head assembly, retightening the handheld bracket and sealing the joints. Both fixtures were thoroughly tested for water pressure, and all connections were verified to be completely leak-free and operating reliably in accordance with local plumbing regulations.
