Faucet Repair: Drip, Drip, Drip: The Agony of a Leaky Faucet
It’s no coincidence that one of history’s most insidious forms of persecution involves the inexorable dripping of water from a faucet. Anyone who has been kept awake at night listening to that telltale “plink” of a drop hitting porcelain can attest that water torture is real.
Leaky faucets may seem deceptively simple, but they’re intricate contraptions with many components. Here are some common reasons why your faucet might be conspiring against your peace of mind:
- O-rings: When these tiny rubber gaskets lose their watertight seal, you will get a leak between the faucet handle and the spout.
- Valve seats: If the connection between the faucet and the spout corrodes, water sneaks through and the excruciating dripping begins.
- Washers: These simple disks must remain tight. Water slides out when they loosen or become worn.
- Cartridges and disks: Newer faucets use cartridges or ceramic discs to control water flow. When they get damaged or worn, cue the madness.
- High pressure: Excessive water pressure strains faucet components over time, until they can no longer resist.
Tampa homeowners can relieve the suffering temporarily by turning off the water supply to their home. But trying to tough it out or repair it yourself risks causing bigger headaches down the road. For any consistent faucet leak or malfunction call in the skilled professionals at Service Minds Benjamin Franklin Plumbing
Stop the Drizzle before it becomes a Deluge
We have the knowledge and tools to quickly identify and resolve any faucet issue properly.
- Rust: Florida’s humid climate can accelerate oxidation on faucets. This not only looks unsightly, but it can also contaminate your water supply.
- Low flow: A clogged aerator or faulty valve restricts water pressure.
- Drips: Stop wasting money and water. A new washer is usually all it takes for a fast and cheap repair.
- Incorrect installation: Homeowners and unlicensed contractors may cut corners that allow water to escape under the sink, potentially damaging cabinets.
- Otherworldly noises: Strange sounds like squeaking or banging are telling you that something needs to be replaced.
- Sprayer snafus: A broken kitchen sprayer can make washing dishes a chore.
