Faucet Repair and Installation FAQs
For over 25 years, Denver Home Repair professionals have been helping homeowners repair, maintain, and enhance their space. We are a one-stop solution for everything on your to-do list. This includes answering your questions about home repairs, maintenance, and improvements. Here are answers to some of your most frequently asked questions about faucet repair and installation:
What are the common causes of a leaky faucet?
Leaky faucets are typically a result of these common issues:
- Loose screws/nuts can have water leaking around the handle or spout
- Corroded valve seats due to mineral buildup will lead to slow leaks around the spout
- Worn-out washers reveal themselves with a steady drip from the faucet
- Loose or damaged O-rings will to leaking around the base or handle of the faucet.
How do I stop a faucet from dripping?
Turn off the water supply and test the faucet to ensure the water is off. Make sure to plug the drain so you don’t lose any small parts. Use a wrench or screwdriver to remove the handle and expose the inner parts. Most leaks are due to a worn-out washer, O-ring, or cartridge, so inspect these components and replace any that appear worn or are damaged. Take the old part to a hardware store to find a match if you’re unsure. After replacing the part, reassemble the faucet, turn the water back on, and test it. This simple faucet repair can save you from the constant drip and a higher water bill.
Is it worth repairing a faucet?
The answer depends on the type of problem and the age of the faucet. If it’s a minor issue like a drip caused by a worn washer, O-ring, or cartridge, repair is often quick and inexpensive. However, if the faucet is old, leaking from multiple places, or showing signs of corrosion, it might be more cost-effective to replace it.
Can I install a new faucet myself?
Yes. If you’ve mastered how to fix a leaky faucet and want to graduate to faucet installation projects, you’ll need a wrench, plumber’s tape, and possibly a basin wrench to reach tight spaces. Turn off the water supply, remove the old faucet, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions to install the new one. If the plumbing setup is straightforward, there are no unexpected issues, and you are careful with each step, it’s a project most people can tackle on their own.
When should I call a plumber to install a new faucet?
Installing a new faucet typically involves turning off the water supply, disconnecting the old faucet, and then connecting the new one following the manufacturer’s instructions. If your sink has a complex setup, the plumbing is old, or you run into issues like leaks or difficulty reaching connections, a plumber can save you time and ensure everything is installed properly without any future issues.
