How to Fix a Leaky Faucet

7/7/2021 (Permalink)

A leaky faucet can become an issue without you noticing it at first; tiny drips are hard to hear and even harder to see. Once you do know that you have developed a leaky faucet, it's probably a good idea to get it repaired sooner rather than later.  

Pointers On Repairing A Dripping Fixture

  • You should shut off your water if your faucet is leaking; this will make it easier for you to investigate the leak source and also prevent any more water damage from occurring. Once the water is no longer flowing, drain the faucet so that you can take it apart.
  • Take the faucet apart to see what may be causing the leak. You can find help online to determine what type of faucet you have and how to figure out how to disassemble it, such as this web article. 
  • You may find that your o-ring, seal, or washer is the trouble, so compare them to your manufacturer's manual at home or on the Internet to see if you have just identified the source of your leak.  
  • If you figure out that a simple part needs to be replaced without hiring outside help, you can replace it and turn your water back on to see if the leak has been resolved. 
  • It's time to call the professionals if you aren't able to determine what the problem is. We recommend contacting your local plumber to examine your sink and faucet and connect with a restoration company like SERVPRO to restore water damage.
