As a homeowner, there are various kinds of problems you can experience with your faucet. One of the most common problems is dripping. This is usually the result of a worn-out O-ring or cartridge that’s allowing water to pass. Typically, replacing the faulty component will repair the issue. If you have an old faucet, you may find it’s cheaper to replace the faucet than it is to buy replacement components.
Another problem you can experience is low water pressure. It’s very important to ensure it’s only happening at that faucet and not throughout your entire home. Low water pressure can be due to a clogged aerator, a water pressure regulator issue, or even a blocked cartridge or supply line. One of our plumbers can easily assess the situation and determine the root cause of your low water pressure issue.
Faucets that receive routine care will last you around 15 years, depending on their material makeup. Faucets made out of heavier metals like brass will last much longer than faucets made from plastic or other cheaper materials. Most homeowners will replace their faucets when they either experience a major issue where it’s more cost-effective to do a replacement instead of repairs or when they’re renovating their bathroom or kitchen.
There are many different considerations when it comes to getting a new faucet for your home. One of the first things is the material you choose. Heavier materials, like brass or bronze, will cost more upfront but have a longer lifespan. Many will come in a variety of different colors to match your bathroom or kitchen’s aesthetic needs. It’s important to choose a faucet that has the correct mounting style for your particular sink application. Standard mounting styles include single-hole, three-hole, and widespread.
