Causes of Leaky Faucets & Fixtures

• Bad O-Ring: One problem that occurs in cartridge faucets is a loose or worn-out O-ring. If your sink handle is leaking, this is the likely cause.
• Worn-Out Cartridge: A leak in a cartridge faucet could also be due to the cartridge itself which might have worn-out and requires replacement.
• Corroded Valve Seat: A buildup of water sediments can corrode the valve seat, causing a leak.
• Worn-Out Washers: A common cause of spout leakage is problems with the washer that rests against the valve seat. Over time, the friction between these two parts can cause the washer to wear out. Faucet leaks can also occur if the washer is installed incorrectly or is the wrong size.
• Worn-Out Seals: Inlet and outlet seals can become corroded by the accumulation of water sediments.
• Water Pressure: If the faucet only tends to drip during certain times of the day, or when you move the handles a certain way, your home’s water pressure could be the culprit. Your home water pressure variance, in turn, can be due to leaky pipes, clogged drain
• Loose Parts: Loosening of faucet parts can be causing your sink handle to start leaking.
• Broken Parts: If the leak is coming from the pipes underneath the sink, the cause is most likely a broken pipe or fitting. That’s when you know it’s time to call in a professional plumber.
