Faucets

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that a leaky faucet dripping at the rate of one drip per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons of water per year. That totals up to the amount of water needed to take 180 showers!

When should I repair my faucet instead of replacing it?

If your faucet is leaking, dripping or not functioning properly but is otherwise in good condition (no visible cracks or rust), a repair might be sufficient. If the faucet is old, corroded or frequently breaking down, replacement may be more cost-effective in the long run.

How do I know if my faucet needs to be repaired or replaced?

Common signs that you may need faucet repair include leaks, low water pressure or difficulty turning the handle. If your faucet has extensive damage, rust or the parts are worn out, replacement could be the best option. A plumber can assess the situation and recommend the best course of action.

What causes a faucet to leak?

Faucet leaks are usually caused by worn-out washers, O-rings or seals. In some cases, the valve cartridge or faucet stem may need to be replaced. A plumber can inspect and fix the source of the leak efficiently.

Can I replace my faucet myself?

While some DIY enthusiasts may attempt to replace a faucet, it's typically best to hire a professional plumber. Faucet installation can be tricky, and improper installation could lead to leaks or water damage. A professional ensures that everything is done correctly and safely.

How long do faucets last before needing replacement?

The lifespan of a faucet can vary depending on the type and quality, but most faucets last around 10-20 years. Factors such as water quality, usage and maintenance can affect their longevity.

How much does faucet repair or replacement cost?

The cost of faucet repair or replacement varies based on the type of faucet, the severity of the problem and whether any additional parts are required. On average, faucet repairs can range from $100 to $300, while replacements can cost between $150 and $500 or more.

How can I prevent my faucet from leaking in the future?

Regular maintenance, such as checking for worn-out washers or seals, can help prevent leaks. Avoid over-tightening the faucet handles and ensure your water pressure is not too high. If you notice any early signs of damage, addressing them promptly can help extend the lifespan of your faucet.

What types of faucets do you repair or replace?
