What we recommend to fix a leaky faucet
There can be a few causes of a leaky faucet in your Round Lake home, and you may see water coming from the tap of the faucet when it’s off, or it’s possible that water is leaking out of the base of the faucet or from the handles. Even if there’s a single handle for the faucet, it’s possible for water to leak.
Wherever there is a leak in a faucet, it still needs to be taken care of, especially if it’s had a leak for a while. The longer a faucet leaks, the more likely it is to become worse, and all the wasted water costs money. A plumber knows what to do when a faucet leaks, so they are the best choice to fix any leaky faucet.
Know What A Plumber Would Do
A plumber first will turn off the water supply to a leaky faucet after determining where the leak is originating from. Based on the faucet they are fixing, it may be necessary to use one set of tools over another.
Certain faucets may need a complete replacement of parts, which may be more costly than a compression faucet, which consists of two handles and has small parts that aren’t costly to replace. The plumber will disassemble the faucet to replace the inner parts that may be worn, and the faucet will be put back together.
If leaking still continues, then it must be determined if the faucet itself is a problem or if the plumbing system is having a problem that can’t be seen right away. More than likely, the plumber will check the plumbing system for problems before ever deciding to change out the faucet completely.
If the faucet needs a complete replacement, then you can determine what type of faucet you want to replace your old one with, and the replacement should be able to correct any leaking problem.
Allow A Plumber To Fix The Problem
Although it may sound easy enough to fix a leak or replace a faucet, a Round Lake plumber can do it better and much faster, so it’s a good idea to get a plumber out whenever you’re experiencing a leaky faucet, especially if you don’t know where the leak is originating from. The plumber can possibly save you money on buying a whole new faucet if they are able to fix the old one.
