Leaking Faucet Repair

When you hear water dripping, it may be time to call a plumber for leaking faucet repair.

Repairs for Leaking Kitchen and Shower Faucet

One drip here and one drop of water there might not seem like much, but what most people don’t know is that a leaky faucet losing one drop per second can waste over 3,000 gallons of water per year. That’s about enough water to fill 60 bathtubs. 

If it’s water pooling under your sink, or the annoying dripping sound that keeps you up at night, a leaky faucet is a nuisance that could turn into a full-blown problem if not addressed quickly. Fortunately, putting a stop to a leaking faucet, such as the compression faucet in your kitchen, is as simple as calling a professional plumber. There are some drips and leaks that you can fix yourself. A loose joint in the pipes may just need a snug-up with a wrench. Cracked pipes and stripped fittings may need the touch of a professional for bathroom or kitchen faucet repair.

How to Replace the Washer in Your Tub Faucet

The most common cause of a leaky water faucet is a worn out washer, so you could potentially save yourself a large amount of money by replacing all of your washers with new ones. This is something you may be able to do yourself.

The washers in your bathtub’s faucet is either made out of plastic or rubber. As time goes by, the contact with water causes the washers to dry out and crack. This eventually makes it impossible to create its tight seal. This is what leads to the drips and leaks in the faucet. You can close the faucet as tightly as possible to attempt to stop the leak as a short-term fix, but this puts more pressure on the old broken washer, which causes it to wear out more quickly than it would if left as it was. The best solution for long-term bathtub and shower faucet repair is to replace the washers. If you’re uncomfortable with the concept of doing it by yourself, you can call a plumber to do it for you.
