Signs And Symptoms That A Faucet Needs To Be Repaired Or Replaced

Dripping when the faucet is in the off position is one of the first and most common signs a faucet needs to be repaired or replaced. The cause could be either a defective cartridge/stem, defective o-rings or the entire faucet needs to be replaced.
Water being too hot or too cold. This issue shows that hot and cold water are not being mixed together properly. The likely culprit is the cartridge/stem. It is more likely in older faucets. If the problem persists, the entire unit may need to be replaced.
Degradation of the faucet is a clear sign the faucet cannot be repaired and must be replaced. Corrosion at the base of the faucet or small pin holes along the stem are clear indications replacement is required. If the faucet is not replaced and further disintegration happens, the base can become loose and leaks can occur, causing damage to the counter and surrounding cabinets.

Repair Or Replace?

When it comes to repairing or replacing a faucet, an untrained amateur should not attempt it. The proper tools are required in order to execute a repair. Using a tool that does not fit can cause a faucet that was in need of repair to become in need of replacement. We can also determine if an older faucet can be repaired or if its components are obsolete and a new faucet needs to be installed.

Every do-it-yourself who takes on home improvement projects does so with the best intentions of doing a good job and saving some money. However, a poorly or incorrectly installed fixture could have serious consequences. Should a leak or flood result due to a poorly installed fixture, the damage would cost a great deal more than any savings you may have experienced by doing it yourself. We always recommend having fixtures installed by a fully licensed and insured plumbing professional.
