A leaky faucet is a serious problem that needs to be addressed immediately. The constant dripping of water is annoying, it wastes water, and it increases monthly bills. In some worst-case scenarios, the problem is the manifestation of a serious problem happening somewhere else in your system. Ignoring a leaking faucet creates environments where mold, mildew, and pests thrive. Dark and wet areas are ideal for all three of the above issues. It can be easy to ignore a dripping noise coming from the bathroom, but for the sake of the environment, your wallet, and your plumbing system, you should not ignore this problem. You should reach out to a professional plumber NYC.

There are several reasons why a faucet begins to leak. Regardless of why the leak is happening, it is important to act quickly.

A Corroded Valve Seat is the connection between spout and faucet. With each use, water sediments begin to accumulate, which causes the valve seat to begin corroding. After enough time, it is possible to notice leaking around the spout area. You do not always hear this problem, so you must regularly clean this valve to see if any water is leaking.

Washers Wear Out with enough use. Every time a faucet is used, washers are forced against valve seats, which accounts for friction between the two materials. Fortunately, this problem can be easily fixed by replacing washers. It would help if you kept in mind that when washers are installed improperly, or the new washer is an incorrect size, you can continue to have a leaking faucet. A professional NYC plumber ensures that your leaky faucet is fixed correctly.
