Stop the Drip
A dripping faucet is more than just an annoyance; it wastes a significant amount of water and can increase your utility bills.
Common Faucet Problems
- Worn Washers or O-rings: The most frequent cause of a dripping faucet. These rubber components degrade over time and need replacement.
- Corroded Valve Seat: The connection between the faucet and the spout can corrode, causing leaks around the handle.
- Faulty Cartridge: In modern faucets, the internal cartridge controls water flow and temperature. If it fails, the faucet will leak or operate stiffly.
