Leaky Faucets? 5 Quick Fixes You Shouldn’t Ignore
Is that constant drip driving you crazy? A leaky faucet isn’t just annoying—it wastes water and increases utility bills. One dripping faucet can waste over 3,000 gallons per year! Here are 5 quick fixes you shouldn’t ignore.
1) Replace Worn Washers
Washers wear down over time, letting water seep through. Turn off the water supply, disassemble the faucet, and replace the washer with a new one.
2) Check the O-Ring
A cracked O-ring allows leaks at the faucet base. Replacing it is quick and affordable, often solving the leak instantly.
3) Tighten Loose Parts
Handles, nuts, and valves loosen naturally. Carefully tighten visible parts—just don’t over-tighten and damage the faucet.
4) Replace the Cartridge
Cartridge-style faucets leak when the cartridge wears out. Swapping it for a new one restores function without replacing the whole faucet.
5) Call a Professional
If DIY fixes don’t work, call Plumbers The Woodlands. Persistent leaks may signal deeper plumbing issues. Professional inspection prevents costly water damage.
