Leaky faucets may be the result of several issues. The following are some common reasons for a leaky faucet:
- A cartridge-style faucet mainly has two handles, one for hot water and another for cold water. The cartridge is a valve that regulates the stream of water into the spout on each side. If the faucet is leaking it is an indication that the cartridge has been damaged.
- Damaged washers are a typical cause of leaking faucets. Washers might wear out with time due to friction. Leaking occurs as a result of this. Leaking can also occur if a washer is the wrong size or is not installed properly.
- Often, faucets only leak water at specific times or when the knobs rotate in a certain way, this can occur when due to pressure changes in water.
- A tiny disc known as an O-ring is fastened to the faucet’s screw to keep the handle in place. Similar to washers, O-rings can wear out or become loose. This is most likely the source of any leaks from one of the faucet knobs.
- The loose valve seat might be another cause of a leaking faucet. Sediment can collect in the seat, corroding it and producing a leak.
If you have a plumbing problem, it is important to remain calm. If at all possible, try to determine what triggered the problem. While you call a professional for help, try to limit the flow of water as much as possible with towels, sheets, or other absorbent items, or in most cases turn off the main water hose.
