Ramadan Drain CleaningMixer and faucet repair in Hassawi
Mixer and faucet repair in Hassawi usually starts with a call about a bathroom mixer with weak flow or a kitchen tap that won't shut. Hassawi is a middle residential area in Farwaniya, with older flats, budget villas and a mix of old and new neighbourhoods.
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
Hassawi is mid-Farwaniya, mixing old and new houses, and its residential flats are relatively aged. Mixers in older Hassawi flats get heavy use and their cartridges develop weak flow. New budget villas stand close to old flats, so the same slow leak problem shows up there too. Bathrooms are cramped and the sink is near the outside wall, so we carefully remove the mixer and inspect the cartridge first before suspecting the pipes.
Hassawi is a middle residential area in Farwaniya governorate, blending older flats with newer budget villas.
Mixers in older Hassawi flats show signs of a failing cartridge before full leakage, steady slow water flow.

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 Hassawi
First we remove the mixer and take out the cartridge, checking for mineral buildup or sediment inside. Simple cleaning might help, but usually the cartridge needs replacing with a fresh one.
We check the mixer from outside first, looking for rust or cracks. If the body is fine but water is slow or drips, the cartridge is the issue. We remove it carefully so we do not damage the sink or the pipes beneath it.
