How to Fix Leaky Kitchen Faucet

A dripping faucet can be extremely annoying to deal with, but that isn’t the only reason why property owners should fix their leaky faucet. At just 10 drips per minute, homeowners and businesses can lose up to 300 gallons of water or more annually. At Rooter Hero Plumbing, we provide a wide variety of premium services for property owners in California and Arizona communities. Save money and keep your water usage under control by fixing your faucet with these tips and tricks. 

Gather Essential Tools and Supplies 

It’s always a good idea to create a plumber’s toolbox for personal use. Items that can be helpful to keep on hand include an adjustable wrench, WD-40, O-rings, replacement washers and a flat-head screwdriver. Keep a 5-gallon bucket and towels nearby as well to keep messes to a minimum when performing a faucet repair or replacement. 

Turn Off the Water Supply 

Before performing any kind of plumbing repair or replacement, it is important that the water supply is turned off at the valve. Neglecting to perform this crucial step could result in indoor flooding and water damage. 

Replace Damaged Parts 

Once you are sure the water has been turned off and it is safe to begin, you can take a closer look at the faucet. Carefully remove the existing faucet and check each individual part for signs of wear and tear. In many cases, the faucet itself is salvageable, you may simply need to replace a failed component such as the washer, seal, O-ring or cartridge. If your faucet has an aerator attachment, it could also be damaged or clogged with mineral deposits. If all of these parts seem to be working fine, then there may be another problem that needs to be addressed. If you replace a damaged part and your faucet continues to leak, then you might need to invest in a complete faucet replacement. 

When to Call a Professional Plumber 

If you feel uncomfortable performing your own faucet repair or replacement, then call a certified plumber. They will have the training, experience and specialized tools needed to get the job done correctly. It is also important to call a plumber if there are noticeable signs of water damage. A licensed plumber can conduct a thorough inspection and locate possible hidden pipe leaks. Ignoring the problem isn’t recommended, since it can lead to toxic mold growth, property loss and expensive renovation costs down the road.
