Leaky Faucet Repair

A leaky faucet isn’t just an annoyance—it can cost you hundreds of dollars in wasted water. Let’s take a look at the five most common reasons why faucets leak.

A Damaged Cartridge

A faucet with two handles is considered a cartridge-style faucet. This means that there is a valve on each handle controlling the flow of water into your spout. If your faucet is dripping water, it could mean that there has been damage to the cartridge and as a result, water is not flowing properly.

A Deteriorated Valve Seat 

The valve seat is used to turn your water on and off. A leaky faucet can happen as a result of a deteriorated valve seat. Deterioration typically occurs when sediment builds up and corrodes the seat.

Broken Washers

Washers are connected to the valve seat. As time passes, washers can wear out and accumulate damage. A leak may spring due to a broken washer or a washer that has been incorrectly installed.

A Worn or Loose O-Ring

Your O-ring is a small disc attached to the stem of your faucet. An O-ring helps keep the faucet secure and in place. If your O-ring is loose or worn out, your faucet handle could start leaking water.

Bad Water Pressure

Finally, bad water pressure could be the culprit of your leak. If your faucet leaks during certain times of the day or if water leaks after moving the handle, then your home’s water pressure could be to blame.

Common Types of Faucets 

There are four types of faucets you should familiarize yourself with. The following are the most common types of faucets found in homes around the world. 

Cartridge Faucets

Cartridge faucets are faucets featuring two handles. A cartridge can be found within these faucets that will control the flow of water.

Disc Faucets

Disc faucets feature a single lever that sits on top of a cylindrical body. These faucets are newer and will typically come with a higher price tag than other common faucets.

Compression Washer Faucets

These faucets are older than most faucets found in homes today. Compression washer faucets have two handles that move side to side and use rubber washers to seal the flow of water.

Ball Faucets

Ball faucets use a ball joint to control the hot and cold water lines. You can spot a ball faucet by its single handle fastened on top of the spout.
