Water faucet repair issues in a home are one of the most common plumbing problems that often goes unaddressed.

Dripping or leaking faucets not only cost you money over time in wasted water, but they are also likely to go unnoticed…until it’s 3:00 in the morning, and that constant ‘drip-drip-drip’ has kept you awake for the last 5 hours.

Leaky faucets are usually caused by old and worn-out washers that breakdown and allow water to pass through them. Hard-to-turn faucet controls are caused by a build-up of sediment and hard water deposits in the faucet cartridge.

A water faucet leak is usually easy to detect and diagnose. Generally, if you see water dripping from a faucet that you have turned off, it’s a safe bet you have a faucet leak. Faucet leaks have different causes and can appear in other places than the spout. Checking the base of the faucet for leaks can be accomplished by simply using a paper towel to wipe off any excess water, turn the faucet on and look for water to appear around the base.

Faucet leaks from beneath the sink are the hardest to detect, simply because people don’t look under their sinks very often. If you do detect a leak under your faucet, it needs to be dealt with right away to avoid causing damage to your walls, floors and vanities.

If you have a leak underneath your sink; and can check that it is not caused by a leak in the “flex-lines” or the drainpipe, chances are you may need a faucet repair.

A leaky faucet can be a simple repair if you’re mechanically inclined with a couple of standard household tools and a faucet repair kit. But If you’re not up to the task, or simply too busy to do-it-yourself, call today to schedule your faucet repair service.
