Is Your Leaky Faucet Keeping You Awake At Night?
Common Causes of Leaky Faucets
Most faucets see a lot of daily use, especially in kitchens and master bathrooms, and this use can wear on the faucet over time. Whether you are having trouble with your kitchen or bathroom faucet, tub or shower faucet, or washroom sink faucet, we can help. These are some of the most common causes of leaky faucets:
- O Ring – The O Ring is the rubber ring on the valve stem of the faucet handle. If the O Ring is worn or damaged, it will not provide a proper seal.
- Valve Seat – The valve seat is a handle component that rubs up against the washer each time you turn the faucet on or off. Because of this consistent friction, these components can wear out over time.
- Washer – The washer is a rubber component that rubs against the valve seat when the faucet is used. With time and use, these components can wear out. But it’s not just a worn washer that can cause problems – we frequently find improperly sized or installed washers. If the washer is not installed properly or sized correctly, leaks are inevitable.
- Seals & Sediment – Seals on your faucet can be negatively impacted by sediment buildup, rendering them ineffective. In these situations, simply having the sediment removed can repair the leak.
- Damaged Pipes – In some situations, pipes can crack or break, which can impact water pressure and cause a faucet to drip or leak.
