A dripping faucet is not only annoying, it can be a huge waste of water and money.
Did you know that a faucet dripping at a rate of once per second will waste 3,000 gallons of water each year?
For this reason, it’s imperative to have your leaky faucet repaired.
Leaky Faucet Repair
One of the most common causes of a leaking faucet is old and worn our washers and gaskets. Mineral build up from hard water can also wreak havoc on your faucet. These are both issues that are easily diagnosed and fixed.
Many faucets manufactured today have cartridges in them that control flow and temperature with a single handle. Though not as frequently as the old style two handle faucets, the seals still wear out and cause leaks.
Not only is water wasted but so is the cost of getting it into your home.
Repair or Replace a Leaky Faucet?
When determining whether it makes more sense to repair or replace your faucet, you need to figure out which is the more cost effective option. If you have a high end or vintage faucet, repair will almost always be the better option.
If this is the first time you have needed to repair your faucet, it also might make the most sense to invest in fixing it as you could have upwards of ten more years of use out of it. On the other hand, if you have a faucet that’s been giving you trouble for years, it may be time for an upgrade.
