FAQs
What are the most common reasons a faucet starts leaking?
The majority of leaks are caused by worn-out internal parts such as rubber washers, O-rings, or ceramic cartridges. Mineral buildup from Ten Mile’s moderately hard water can also corrode valve seats and seals. In other cases, high water pressure, loose parts, or damage to the faucet body itself can create drips around the spout or handle.
Is it okay to ignore a slow drip if it’s not bothering me?
Even the smallest drip wastes water—up to 3,000 gallons a year per faucet—and raises your Ten Mile utility bill. Over time, constant moisture can stain sinks, encourage mold, and damage cabinets or drywall. Fixing a leak early prevents bigger repairs and saves both water and money.
How much could I save by repairing my leaky faucet?
At the current water rates for the Ten Mile area, a faucet that drips once per second costs roughly $35–$40 a year in wasted water. If you have more than one leak, costs add up quickly. A prompt repair typically pays for itself within a few months through lower water bills.
Should I repair my existing faucet or replace it altogether?
If the faucet is less than 10 years old and in good condition, replacing a cartridge, washer, or O-ring is usually the most economical choice. However, if the finish is worn, parts are discontinued, or you want newer water-saving technology, installing a modern, high-efficiency faucet can cut water use by 30% or more and improve aesthetics.
How long does a professional faucet repair take, and what’s involved?
Most standard faucet repairs in Ten Mile take 30–60 minutes. Our licensed plumber will first shut off the water supply, disassemble the faucet, inspect and clean internal parts, replace any worn components, reassemble, and test for leaks. We carry common cartridges and seals on the truck, so there’s rarely a need for a return visit.
