    Kitchen Faucets

    If we asked you to count the number of times you use the faucets in your home – you’d be quite surprised at the number. Your faucet undergoes a lot of wear and tear over time due to constant use.

    You don’t really realize something has gone wrong with it unless it starts to leak or stops running altogether. By the time you get help to fix it, extensive damage is already done, and you end up having to replace the entire fixture.

    We would recommend you always seek advice and help from a professional plumbing fixture repair service to ensure a long-term and effective solution. Let’s take a deeper look into why your faucets might leak and why you should enlist the help of an expert to repair them.

    Kitchen & Bathroom Faucet & Fixture Installation

    Your kitchen and bathroom faucets should run efficiently and be leak-free. You may need a new bathroom or kitchen fixture installation for many different reasons.

    This could include getting rid of a faulty fixture, adding a new kitchen or bathroom faucet to upgrade the look of the room, or simply adding in a fixture with latest technology like auto-hand detection.

    Whatever your reasons, you should leave this work to an expert bathroom and kitchen faucet installation service.

    Why Is My Faucet Leaking

    There are several reasons for you to reach out to a faucet plumber:

    • O-Ring Issues – A small disc that is attached to the screw holding your sink stem in place – the O-Ring can deteriorate and start to leak over time. Hard water, regular use, or just time can be the reason behind this. A simple faucet replacement can fix this issue.
    • Worn Washers – A washer is installed right next to the valve seat that connects the faucet with the spout. Washers experience constant friction when they grind against the valve seat every time you turn the faucet on. This constant friction can lead to leaks.
    • Valve Seat Corrosion – The valve seat connects the kitchen or bathroom faucet to the spout. It needs to be cleaned regularly to avoid water sediment buildup, which can corrode it. Sometimes, this corrosion can warrant a new kitchen or bathroom faucet installation.
    • Improper Washer Installation – If the washer was installed improperly, you would experience leaks from the faucet and your sink. Usually, any leaks that come from the handles are due to improper installation.
    • Worn Seals – inlet and outlet seals are important parts of disc faucets, but they can deteriorate over time due to sediment.
    • Loose Parts – The constant use of the faucet can leave the packing nuts and the adjusting ring in the stem screw loose. This can cause leaks around the faucet handle.
    • Damaged Plumbing – Damaged or broken pipes and plumbing issues can also cause your faucets to leak.

    Other Faucet Problems

    The above-mentioned issues aren’t the only ones you can encounter. You may also need a faucet plumber and installer for the following reasons:

    Rusting
    Poor Water Pressure
    Clogs
    Damaged Faucets
    Improper Drainage In Sinks

    No matter the issue, an experienced faucet and sink installer will be able to look at the problem and provide a viable and cost-effective solution for you. So, it is best to call your trusted local faucet repair service rather than try to tackle the issue on your own.
