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
