A faucet seems like such a small fixture, but when it leaks, drips, or fails, it quickly becomes a major annoyance. Whether you’re setting up a brand-new faucet or fixing one that’s acting up, the job needs care, precision, and the right tools.
Why Faucet Issues Matter
You might think a slow drip is no big deal, until you see your water bill or notice water damage under the sink. Over time, leaks waste water (and money), cause mold or damage to cabinetry, and create frustration with inconsistent flow or pressure.
Common Faucet Problems & What Causes Them
- Dripping or leaking spout: often caused by worn out O-rings, seals, or a damaged cartridge
- Handles that are stiff, loose, or hard to move: could be mineral buildup, corrosion, or deteriorated internal parts
- Low or inconsistent water pressure: debris in aerator or cartridges, clogged lines, or pressure issues
- Leaks at the base or where faucet meets sink: improper sealing or faulty gaskets
- Sprayer or diverter malfunctions: the mechanism that redirects water may get stuck or wear out
These faucet issues may be fixable with replacement parts (seals, cartridges, washers) or sometimes the faucet must be removed and reinstalled (or replaced entirely).
