Signs You May Need Your Faucet Repaired
If your faucet is constantly dripping or leaking, it not only wastes water but can also lead to increased water bills. Even a small, steady drip can add up over time.
Reduced water pressure can make it challenging to perform everyday tasks, such as washing dishes or taking a shower. It may indicate a blockage or worn-out components within the faucet.
The presence of rust or corrosion on the faucet’s exterior is not only unsightly but can also be a sign of internal damage. Ignoring this issue can lead to more extensive problems.
Unusual sounds, such as banging or squeaking, when you turn the faucet on or off could suggest loose parts or worn washers that require attention.
If you find it increasingly difficult to turn the faucet handle, it may be due to a damaged valve or other internal components.
Discolored water coming from the faucet may indicate rust or sediment buildup within the plumbing or faucet itself.
Possible Causes and Prevention
Hard Water Buildup
Worn Out Seals
Improper Installation
Hard Water Buildup
Mineral deposits from hard water can clog faucet aerators and affect water pressure. Regular cleaning and the use of water softeners can prevent this issue.
Worn Out Seals
Over time, the seals and O-rings inside the faucet can deteriorate, leading to leaks. Prompt replacement of these components can prevent leaks.
Improper Installation
Incorrect installation can lead to leaks and other issues. Hiring a professional plumber for faucet installation ensures proper setup and functionality.
