Ramadan Drain CleaningMixer and faucet repair in Daiya
Mixer and faucet repair in Daiya covers villas and flats near the British School and Daiya Park. Daiya has a mix of newer and older residences, and its mixers and faucets are various types depending on the house age and owner.
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.
This area
What setsthis area apart
Daiya has older homes to the south and new villas and flats on the main street. Old homes have original brass mixers and old pipes, while new flats have imported mixers and new plastic or modern copper pipes. The cartridge in old homes wears from long use, and in new flats problems are rare but do happen. We check the type and model first and bring the correct cartridge with matching measurements.
Daiya is in Kuwait governorate, near the British School of Kuwait and Daiya Park.
New Daiya flats have modern mixers with international standard cartridges, while older homes have local and older types.

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.
Common questions
Questions about Mixer and faucet repair in Daiya
Sometimes yes, old homes have local or old imported mixers. But we have connections and a stock of parts, and we find the cartridge or find an original equivalent. If we cannot find the original we tell you before we start.
No, new mixers are easy to maintain and the cartridge is standard. But it is important to clean the screen now and then and the cartridge will last longer easily. If there is a problem we replace it with the same standard original type.
