Leaky Faucet Repair and Replacement
Hillsdale NJ

What Causes a Leaky Faucet

Faucets endure more wear and tear than any other part of your plumbing, so it’s no surprise they wear out. One of the most common spots for a faucet to wear out is on the handles. If the washers and seals inside the handles wear out, no matter how far the handle is cranked, it cannot prevent water from dripping.

Sometimes faucets will leak inside, allowing water to pour through the seals and either onto the counter space or, worse, down into the cabinetry, floor, and wall. 

Repairing a Faucet

Before repairing the faucet, you need to stop the leak. The best way to do that is to turn off the water supply to the leaky faucet. Doing this may also tell you something about the leak, and any information you can pass on to the Gladiator plumbers when they arrive will help make the job go faster.

Simple faucet repair Hillsdale, NJ may take up to an hour to complete. Manufacturers of high-quality faucets will supply replacement parts, but most essential parts are available through hardware stores and plumbing supply stores.

If the leak cannot be repaired or the faucet is more than eight years old, replacing it is a better option. You can find inexpensive faucets in hardware stores for as little as $50. A good quality faucet by Delta, Kohler, or Moen may run into the hundreds of dollars. However, the good-quality faucets will last longer, and repairs will be more straightforward because of their warranties.
