My Faucet Won’t Stop Dripping!

Dripping faucet with Airco Service logo

It’s perfectly understandable if you are finding a leaky faucet to be a nuisance in your home. Whether it’s the cause of water pooling in your sink or the dripping sound is keeping you up at night, the inconveniences caused by a defective tap are immeasurable. If left unattended, a leaky tap can potentially increase your water bill. Fortunately, fixing a faucet that won’t stop dripping is a quick and inexpensive activity. However, it is vital to learn why the faucet is dripping before calling the repairman. Below are the common causes of a leaky tap and effective ways of correcting it.

Damaged Components

Damaged parts are probably the most prevalent causes of a dripping tap. If the drip is steady, it could be indicative of a worn out washer, which is located inside the tap. Also, the seals fitted inside the compression faucets are susceptible to damage, since they handle a lot of pressure, preventing water from coming out of the tap. If these components are worn out or damaged, you should have them replaced by the knowledgeable technicians from Airco Service. This is because the replacement components need to be identical to the broken ones, which is something that can only be distinguished by a trained eye.

Excessive Water Pressure

If your tap leaks at certain times, water pressure in your home might be too high. Excessive water pressure can inhibit water from flowing away freely, which means that it will back up and subsequently leak out in the faucets or the toilet overflow tank. While excessive water pressure might appear to be an insignificant issue, it can potentially cause other plumbing issues, such as cracked pipes. This could lead to expensive plumbing repairs in the long run.

Corroded Valve Seat

In a compression system, a valve seat connects the faucet and the spout. Over time, water sediments can accumulate on the seat and cause corrosion. This, in turn, causes leakage around the spout area. To correct this problem, an expert from Airco Service can help you clean this area and put an end to the annoying drips.

Faucets are indispensable components of every home, and keeping them in optimal conditions is imperative. Apart from being annoying, dripping taps can lead to hefty water bills and water damage in your home. Contact Airco Service, a company that is well-equipped to troubleshoot and repair your faucet issues effectively.
