Your faucets are connected to the building’s main water lines. If a faucet is damaged or clogged, you might not be able to get the water you need. Worse yet, the water is no longer safe or healthy to use.
Leaky faucets are probably the most likely problem you can come across with your home plumbing. It doesn’t matter if the leak is just a drip or a wasteful stream of water, leaks can increase your monthly water bill. Depending on how much water is leaking, it can even cause water damage!
Leaky faucet repair is rarely a long, tedious process. A professional plumber will identify the part causing the leak before either repairing or replacing it for proper water flow.
A faucet should be able to deliver both hot and cold water. Striking the right temperature balance depends on the faucet’s design, with models featuring either one or two handles. Fixing the handle can often resolve the issue.
But when the problem is a total lack of hot water, the issue might be more complicated. This could be a sign your water heater is damaged; in which case a professional plumber should be contacted.
Rather than a leak, a broken faucet decreases water pressure and may even prevent the flow of water entirely. Not only is this frustrating, but excess pressure may cause additional problems deeper in your plumbing system.
The strategy your plumber uses to resolve the problem requires knowing what type of faucet you’re using. If you’re lucky, resolving the problem will be as simple as cleaning the affected component. Other issues can be traced to the seal that separates your faucet from the water supply.
Don’t forget that this doesn’t happen too often. So when your faucet isn’t the culprit, your plumber will look for other issues like corroded pipes and clogs (as these also cause the water pressure to fall). Even partially closed valves will drop the water pressure, resulting in weak flow.

Once we’ve verified there’s a problem with your faucet, a little more info can help simplify repairs. Remember that severe or widespread damage may make new faucet installation a more cost-effective option. Otherwise, you could soon be dealing with another plumbing problem.
Effective repairs start with knowing the type of faucet you use. We don’t mean whether it’s a kitchen faucet or a bathroom faucet, but what internal components are in place to deliver potable water. Your plumber will have sufficient experience with different faucet types so they can recognize yours quickly, beginning the repair process that much sooner.
Compression Faucet: This design is the oldest type of faucet still in widespread use today. It uses a rubber washer and two handles to provide adequate water of the correct temperature.
Cartridge Faucet: Found in both one- and two-handle designs. A single-lever design adjusts water flow by raising and lowering the valve inside the handle.
Ball Faucet: The most common type of single-lever faucet. As the lever is moved, a plastic or metal ball moves within the faucet, allowing water to flow. Small chambers within the ball blend hot and cold water to create the desired temperature.
Ceramic Disk Faucet: Another single-lever design sometimes confused for a ball faucet. These faucets use a valve resembling a cartridge faucet, which is raised or lowered to provide water flow. By comparison, a ball faucet moves in a spherical direction.
As soon as they’re aware of what model of faucet you have, the plumber’s next step is to pinpoint where the problem starts. Most designs are split into two sections, the faucet body and one or two faucet handles. Knowing the type of problem they’re dealing with can make things easier.
Whatever the problem may be, disassembling the faucet is typically necessary for repairs. A decent repair kit should offer tools like slip joint pliers or a basin wrench for reaching the internal components.
Every now and then, a problem is fixed by simply reaching the specific component and giving it a thorough cleaning. But in case of significant damage, replacing it is typically best. These small pieces aren’t expensive, so don’t worry about the cost of a new part for the spout, O-ring or any washers.
This can be slightly more complex for special faucets, such as an outdoor garden hose.
