In the past, getting water for drinking, cooking, washing, or anything else was a huge hassle, as it had to be pumped in manually, drawn from a well, or even carried from a nearby water source. Today, though, we can get a steady supply of clean water by simply turning on a faucet. Like everything else, however, faucets malfunction sometimes and need to be repaired. In this article, our team at Anytime Plumbing & Solutions will go over a few ways to tell if you need faucet repair services.
- Leaks – One obvious sign you need faucet repair services is leaking. Even a small leak from your faucet can waste significant amounts of water, and failing to address the issue promptly can lead to water damage as well. Our team has the right experience to determine where exactly the leak is coming from—water can leak from different parts of the faucet—and make the necessary adjustments to solve the problem.
- Spitting – Another common reason to need faucet repair is the faucet spitting. If water does not start flowing from the faucet immediately when you turn the handle, but instead the faucet produces a sputtering sound, then you have a spitting faucet on your hands. This problem is usually caused by a faulty aerator (the screen that covers the opening), and our team can easily fix it for you.
- Low Water Pressure – A third sign you may need faucet repair is low water pressure. If your faucet only produces a weak trickle of water rather than a strong, steady flow, you should get it checked out. Sometimes this problem is caused by an issue with the faucet itself, and sometimes it’s caused by problems elsewhere in the plumbing system, such as in the water heater. No matter what the root cause is, though, you can trust our team to find it and correct it.
