Leaking Faucet Repair Services

Leaking faucets are one of the biggest plumbing problems that people face. To make matters even worse, there are times when a leaky faucet may not be that noticeable. In the world of plumbing, faucet leaks refer to any type of leak that takes place between the pipe that carries water to your faucet and the faucet itself. There are plenty of reasons to respond quickly to faucet issues, but we will discuss those in a moment.

The team at Schuler Plumbing is made up of some of the best plumbers in the industry. That means that when you run into an issue that requires leaking faucet repair, our team will know how to diagnose the issue and get it handled.

Why Fixing a Leaking Water Faucet is Crucial

Ultimately, no one wants to spend money on water that they’re not actually using. One of the most important aspects of having leaking faucets repaired quickly is that it saves you money. To put things in perspective, a showerhead that leaks 10 drops per minute (that’s only one drop every six seconds) can waste 500 gallons of water each year. That’s enough water to wash 60 loads of dishes in most standard dishwashers! In a time where inflation rates are soaring and most of us are looking for ways to save where we can, cutting off the drip is a great place to start.

There are other issues that facilitate the need for quick leaking faucet repair. You may not realize it, but a leaky faucet can cause significant health issues for you and your family. When a faucet leaks in or around the pipes that go to or from it, the chance for mold and mildew to grow increases. Mold grows at a rapid rate, and a constant supply of moisture in a dark area is a perfect recipe. This can cause serious breathing problems, especially if someone in your home already has respiratory issues.

Finally, a leak that is left untreated can lead to rust in and around your faucets. When metal and water meet, rust is a natural byproduct. However, your faucets have design elements in place that cut down on the risk of rust if everything is working correctly. A leak can not only damage the look of your faucets, but rust can lead to other issues.

Types of Faucet Leaks We Repair

Within the world of faucet leaks, there are several different types that have to be considered. Fortunately, the team of professionally licensed and insured plumbers at Schuler Plumbing have seen it all, repaired it all, and fully satisfied our customers.

Faucets are one of the most common parts of your home’s plumbing system. Unfortunately, they’re also one of the most taken for granted. Faucets help ensure that you have the water that you need at the temperature that you want. If you’ve never taken the time to consider how many faucets you have in your home, consider how many rooms you use that rely on water. Bathroom sinks, bathtubs, showerheads, kitchen sinks, laundry rooms, and more. The water that you use in those rooms all come from faucets.

What you may not realize is that there are also different types of faucets. If you purchased your home and left the existing plumbing fixtures in place, you probably don’t realize exactly what type of faucets your home relies on. For instance, you may have ball faucets that rely on ball joints to control hot and cold water flows. There are also disc faucets, which are among the most technologically advanced options on the market today. Disc faucets have a single-lever control that has two ceramic discs at the bottom that are used to control water temperature.

A third, and incredibly common option is the cartridge faucet. Cartridge faucets rely on valves inside the system to control the flow and temperature of the water. These systems are very similar to a fourth type of faucet (compression faucets) in how they work.

No matter what type of faucet you have or what room the faucet is found in, our team of plumbers can figure out where the leak is occurring, what’s causing it, and the best way to fix it. They can also help walk you through the process of determining if you should repair your faucet or have a new one installed.
