Sink and Faucet Repair

Faucet and sink leaks are among the most frequent, inconvenient, and unexpectedly expensive plumbing issues that homeowners face. According to the EPA, the typical household’s faucet or sink pipe leak may waste over 10,000 gallons of water each year. That equates to 270 loads of laundry! That is not only harmful to the environment but also costly! You’ll save roughly 10% on water costs if you repair a common leak correctly. Under-sink leaks or ruptures may cause damage to the surrounding furniture, floor, walls, and cabinet. Do not put it off any longer. Book your skilled faucet or sink repair immediately!

Detecting the Leak

Leaking faucets and under-sink leaks are often easily noticeable. You can simply listen for any sounds of leaks or search for pools of water in the cabinet or beneath the sink. However, if the plumbing under your sink is not easily accessible or visible, it’s important to watch out for the following signs that may indicate a concealed leak:

1. Presence of mold or mildew on or near your pipes or sink.

     2. Damaged walls or wallpaper, especially in low-lying areas that may go unnoticed. 

     3. Water stains on the ceiling in the room below the sink.

     4. Musty or earthy odors caused by stagnant water.

     5. Dishwasher leaks occurring behind the sink.

Finding the Origin of the Leak

A leaky faucet or sink can have various potential causes, but in many cases, the culprit is a worn-out O-ring that needs to be replaced. As the O-ring deteriorates, water can start to flow through it, leading to the leak.

Determining the likely cause of a faucet leak can be aided by identifying the type of faucet you have. There are four common types: compression, ball, disc, and cartridge. If you have a compression or ball faucet, it’s highly probable that the O-ring is worn out. On the other hand, disc and cartridge faucets usually require the replacement of the disc or cartridge.

Additionally, there are several other possible causes for a leak, including:

• Corrosion or rust.
• Deteriorated seals/washers.
• Rusted fixture.
• Broken pipes.
