Have a Leaky Faucet and Not Sure Where to Turn?

Is there any noise more infuriating than the constant dripping of a leaky faucet? It can do a lot more than simply annoy you. Without repair, a leaking faucet can cause corroding in your pipes and waste hundreds of gallons of water per month. You pay for that water—don’t let it go to waste!

When you factor in the many fragile components of a modern faucet, like the washer and O-rings, a breakdown is seemingly inevitable. Fortunately for you, we staff plenty of Reisterstown faucet repair and replacement plumbers at Bruce Solomon Plumbing, Heating & Air.

How to Detect a Leaking Faucet

In most cases, a leaking faucet is easy to detect. You hear a constant “drip, drip, drip” from the tap and no movement of the handle can make it stop. Don’t just rely on this noise and sight, however, as faucets can leak from other areas as well. Be sure to check for any standing water around the handle or even under the sink.

Perhaps you notice that your water bill has suddenly increased. Here is a way to check if it might be a leak at fault:

1. Check your water meter reading
2. Wait two hours without using any water
3. Recheck the meter

If you see that the number have gone up, it is a likely sign that a leak is at fault.
