It is annoying at the very least. A leaking faucet in your home or office is
more than just an aggravation in your daily life. Did you know that even a small leak can send
three gallons of water down the drain a day?
If you leave it that way for a year, you'll have wasted enough water to
fill a swimming pool!
Here are some of the most common causes –
1. A loose or
worn-out O Ring
2. The cartridge may
need to be replaced
3. The valve seat
wears out. It connects the faucet and
the spout.
4. Problems with the
washer that rests against the valve seat
5. The issue could be
water pressure.
There are several more potential problems that could cause a
leaky faucet. Suffice to say you could
use a professional plumber to troubleshoot those problems and repair them. If you live in the Fox Valley and the
