The Most Common Faucet Problems That Need Fixing
The operation of a faucet is very simple, but inside there are a lot of internal parts making it possible. They fit together perfectly to give you control over your water supply so that it instantly flows when the faucet is on and is stopped completely when the faucet is turned off.
When something is off you'll know it, and it will probably be one of the common problems below.
Leaks
Leaks are the most common problem most homeowners experience with their faucets. It may not be an emergency that is causing water damage, but it is wasting water. Faucet performance tends to degrade as the materials age, and that's especially true for faucet washers, which are a major culprit when it comes to a leaky faucet.
The washers sit on the valve seat and can get worn out over time. If that happens the faucet's seal is compromised and it will start to leak. Replacing washers is fairly simple, which is why some people take the DIY route.
But here's why you may want to have a professional plumber take a look at the faucet if it doesn't completely stop the leak or it comes back. Leaking faucets can be caused by water pressure issues further back in your plumbing system.
Low Water Flow
On the opposite end of the spectrum you have faucets that aren't running enough. You'll want to call a plumber about this issue because there are a lot of reasons for low water pressure. It could be anything from a leak to mineral buildup in the plumbing system.
Faulty Faucet Handles
Now let’s talk about faucet handles. Faucets also tend to have issues as they age, regardless of whether you have two-handled or single handle faucets known as a ball faucet.
The most common cause of a non-working faucet handle is mineral buildup or the presence of debris in the hole under the sink where the water enters. Sometimes you can fix a problem like this with a snake or by doing some basic cleaning to eliminate the debris.
Loose Handles
A faucet in the bathroom or kitchen gets used every day, often many times a day. The constant up and down motion on the handle can eventually make the whole thing feel a little wobbly. Usually the reason this happens is the set screw that secures the handle to the base of the faucet needs to be tightened.
Damaged O-Rings
The o-rings are one of the faucet components that need to be replaced due to wear and tear over time. The o-ring is part of the valve stem that helps prevent leaks around the handle of the faucet. If the o-ring isn't in good condition it can't create an airtight seal in the faucet, and you'll start to see leaking.
Worn Cartridges
You probably have cartridge faucets in your home, which means you might need to replace the plastic cartridge if it's leaking at the handles or the base. This is something a homeowner could potentially handle, but you need the right tools and need to get the right kind of cartridge.

Benefits of Professional Faucet Repair & Replacement Services
Good plumbers know the value of great service, so they’ll take the time to explain what's going on with the plumbing system. Once you have a complete picture of the faucet problem, you'll probably be glad you called a plumber for several good reasons.
Detailed Diagnosis of Plumbing Problems
A plumber can give you a detailed diagnosis of your plumbing system, which can help you avoid the problem at hand and many others in the future. Another advantage of using a plumber to diagnose plumbing issues is they can often anticipate serious problems before they occur.
You Can Save Money
Replacing an entire faucet may seem simple, but jobs like that can easily go sideways for do-it-yourselfers. When that happens, it often creates additional problems that go far beyond the faucet and cost more to fix.
The money you pay a plumber is certainly worth it if you're dealing with a leak that's making your water bill go up every day.

Another benefit of hiring a plumbing company like Made's Plumbing to fix a faucet is the warranties on the work that you get. If the fix doesn't hold up or completely remedy the problem, a warranty ensures you don't have to pay if more work needs to be done.
