Cumberland is the county seat of Cumberland County, west of Powhatan along Route 60, with homes around the courthouse area and across the surrounding countryside. This page covers faucet repair for Cumberland homes.
Water and homes
Most Cumberland homes are on private wells, with public water limited to a small area. The housing is largely rural: older homes, manufactured homes and newer houses on large lots. Manufactured homes often have faucets and supply lines that differ from site-built homes, which matters when finding replacement parts.
The local problem, and the fix
A common call from Cumberland is a faucet in a manufactured or older home where the original parts are hard to find. The answer is often a replacement faucet that fits the existing sink holes, installed with new supply lines and valves. Faucet replacement explains it. For a shower that drips or won't divert, see shower and tub faucet repair.
Parts for older and manufactured homes
Faucets in manufactured homes are often made specifically for them, with plastic bodies, different hole spacing or shallow sinks. Replacement parts for older models can be hard to find, and a standard faucet doesn't always fit. The plumber checks the sink and hole spacing before choosing a replacement, so the new faucet fits properly without modifying the sink.
Supply lines in older manufactured homes are sometimes older plastic or polybutylene fittings. If you see grey plastic lines under your sinks, mention it on the call. They're usually worth replacing while the faucet is out.
