Ramadan Drain CleaningMixer and faucet repair in Abbasiya
Mixer and faucet repair in Abbasiya often begins with a tap that will not shut or a bathroom mixer leaking where it sits on the counter. Abbasiya is a residential area in Farwaniya, with mixed villas, flats and buildings housing families of various sizes.
Mixer symptoms
Four cases wesee often.
Each one of these points at a different part inside the mixer.
01
It drips after closing
If it keeps dripping with the handle fully closed, the ceramic discs inside the cartridge no longer meet cleanly. A single grain of grit is enough to score that face and keep the drip going.
02
The handle has gone stiff
A mixer that needs force to move has lost the grease inside it, or deposits have worked between the discs. Forcing it keeps breaking the cartridge, and you end up changing the mixer instead of a part.
03
The flow sprays sideways
When the flow breaks up and sprays to the sides, the small aerator at the tip is partly blocked. It is the easiest case of all, cleared by unscrewing the aerator and cleaning or replacing it.
04
Hot and cold are swapped
You open it towards cold and hot arrives, or the other way round. This follows a new installation with the two supplies reversed, or a cartridge refitted the wrong way up. The correction is simple and does not need a new mixer.

What setsthis area apart
Abbasiya is diverse, with large villas, residential flats and apartment buildings, each with different mixer types. Large villas sometimes have modern mixers and sometimes old ones, and flats need simple but aged taps. Bathrooms in villas are wider, but hot and cold pipes pass through walls in ways we must track carefully. Mixers mounted on walls in some flats need very careful removal because the wall is old, and if the cartridge is leaking, we replace it without disturbing the wall.
Abbasiya is a diverse residential area in Farwaniya governorate, home to villas, flats and apartment buildings of various sizes and ages.
Mixers in Abbasiya range from very modern to very old, so each cartridge is completely different from the next.

The method
From the handleto the test.
Careful work on small parts, and all of it above the basin.
We close both angle valves
A mixer has two supplies, hot and cold, and both have to be closed. We then open the mixer to release the pressure still held in the two tails.
We lift the handle off
The handle is held by a small screw hidden under a plastic cap, and beneath it a ring clamps the cartridge. That comes off with the right tool so the mixer body is not scarred.
We change the cartridge
The old cartridge comes out and its seat is cleaned of deposits, because a new cartridge dropped onto a dirty seat gives you the same drip again before long.
We open it and check both
Both valves open, we run hot, cold and every position between, and we look under the basin while it runs to be sure the tails are not weeping.
