Why You Should Repair a Leaky Faucet?
Leaky water faucets are annoying, but the damage they do can add up. Persistent leaks can permanently discolor the marble, porcelain, or stone in your tubs and sinks. Slow leaks can cause unseen damage to your pipes, not to mention the higher water bills you’re paying for water going down the drain. Water leaks can waste far more water (and money) than you may think — just one faucet dripping three times per minute can waste up to 104 gallons of water per year!
Don’t let a leaky kitchen or bathroom faucet cause major damage to your St. Louis home or commercial space. Call the highly skilled plumbers at Classic Aire Care at (314) 329-1943 today. We know how to fix all types of faucet and plumbing problems.
What Causes a Faucet To Drip?Â
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, leaky faucets, toilet flappers, and valves can waste up to 10,000 gallons of water a year. That’s enough to fill an entire swimming pool. While faucet leaks and drips can be caused by various factors, some of the  most common include:
- Defective O-rings: The O-rings, which are part of the mechanism that keeps the faucet handle in place, can loosen or wear out over time. If left unrepaired, defective, loose, or damaged O-rings can cause faucets to drip near the handles. Simply replacing the O-ring can prevent this dripping.
- Old Washers: Every time you turn on the faucet, the washer is pushed against the valve seat, causing it to wear out from friction. You’ll notice dripping around the spout if the washer is faulty. And if it is, replacing the worn washers can fix these types of leaks.
- Damaged Valve Seats: As the compression connection between a faucet and spout, the valve seat can corrode due to the buildup of sediment. You’ll see water leaking from the spout if the valve seat is broken. With these leaks, valve seat replacements can be the fix needed.
- Improper Washer Installation:Â Many times a washer is the incorrect size, leading to noticeable leaks. Replacing these washers with ones that are the right size can be sufficient to fix leaks caused by this problem.
