Do you have a leaky faucet in your home?

The longer you let that leaky faucet keep dripping, the more it will cost you on your water bill. Even a slight drip can go unnoticed for several days and can cause a major headache and turn into a bigger plumbing problem.

Reasons a faucet may begin to leak

  • Corrosion
  • Mineral deposit buildup
  • Ineffective gaskets, o rings, or washers
  • Broken cartridge

Why are there so many parts to a faucet?

All the parts of a faucet work together to bring clean, hot, or cold water to your home. Even a single handle faucet has several parts:

  • Handle
  • Cap
  • Cartridge
  • Spout o ring
  • Faucet spout
  • Aerator
