Faucet Issue

Have you ever been lying in bed and just heard it ringing through your home? That drip, drip, drip from a leaky faucet is driving you mad! Well, it’s not only doing your head in; it’s also killing your wallet. Water is expensive, and it’s only getting more expensive, especially in California. A leaky faucet is the last thing you want. Let’s talk about faucet repairs and what you need to do when approaching repair jobs.

How To Tell If Your Faucet Needs Repairs

First, let’s figure out if you need to consider faucet repairs. Here are some signs that can answer the question for you with ease.
  • Loud Faucet
    A loud faucet is when you use your taps, and the whole neighborhood knows about it, which can be frustrating. You don’t want to be second-guessing if you should be turning the water on or not! The best solution is replacing the washer, which is an easy fix. However, if the noise is a clanking or clicking sound, well, you’re in for a more complex issue that requires taking the faucet apart for faucet repairs. If you’re not sure about what you’re doing, we can help.
  • Spitting Faucet
    A faucet that spits water isn’t really what you want when you just need some water. Not only is it annoying, but it’s also unpredictable. How fast is the water coming out this time? Will it go everywhere? It’s just a nightmare. What might be the problem is a case of a clogged aerator.
  • Dripping Faucet
    This is the one that drives people to madness. The general issue when it comes to leaky faucets and water damage underneath a faucet is when the water pressure is too high or there's a plumbing valve that’s malfunctioning. Our team of professionals can address the problem with ease because we know what to look for.
  • Rust and Visible Mineral Deposits
    Faucet damage is easily indicated when there are rust and mineral deposits present. This is going to require a repair before further damage is incurred. Don’t let this be left to decay further. Call our team today.

What To Do If Your Faucet Is Failing

If your faucet is failing you, it’s time to consider if it’s able to be saved or if you need to repair it all together. Furthermore, you need to consider hiring a professional to perform these faucet repairs. With water being so expensive and the state getting stricter on water usage, it’s best to leave it to the pros. The main thing to understand is that getting the job done is important to avoid damaging the rest of your home with drywall damage, structural damage, and excess water bills.

Is It Better To Repair or Replace

If you’ve tried everything and it’s not working, replace it. If your faucet is over 15-20 years old, replace it because that model isn’t efficient enough, and it’s likely costing you a lot of money. A replacement of an old faucet saves you money in the long run. Contact our team to learn more.
