You may not notice the water dripping out, but this is a common sign that points to water leaking. Catch it an get it fixed before the leak becomes worse.
  • Water Running: If your facet has water that dribbles through the spout even when the faucet handles are in the “off” position, then you’ll want to call a plumber. There can be numerous reasons for this problem and a plumber will diagnose your issue.
  • Water on Sink Top: If you turn the water handle on and the top of your sink or countertop gets wet, it’s not because you’re a happy splasher. You likely have a leak in the faucet itself. Have a plumber fix this before you get floods of water on your counter instead of the trickle it starts out with.

The Benefits of Plumbing Services

Inside each faucet, there is a gasket. The gasket helps keep water from flowing out when it shouldn’t. When this gets worn down, water can start to trickle through even when your handle is in the “off” position.

If the source of your leak is a gasket, a plumber can replace this and get you back to normal in no time. Depending on the severity of your leak, a plumber might have to order parts to fix your faucet. However, only a plumber will know what to do and what to look for when fixing your faucet.

How Much Can a Leaky Faucet Cost?

Leaky faucets are understandably frustrating and no one wants to pay a repair bill for something so annoying. However, if it is left unfixed, you’ll pay much more in the long-run. Leaks never shrink, so you’ll end up fixing a larger problem if you let it go.
