Signs You Need Faucet Repair
Aside from the obvious dripping sound, there are a few other warning signs that your faucet needs repair. Call a professional plumber if you notice:
- Low water pressure from the faucet
- Odd faucet noises, like squeaking or sputtering
- Pooled water around the faucet, handles, or under the sink
- A split water stream
- Visible rust on the faucet
- Mineral deposits on the faucet


Why You Shouldn’t Ignore a Leaky Faucet
It’s crucial to take action at the first signs of a leaky faucet. While it may seem like a minor concern, ignoring this problem can exacerbate plumbing issues or lead to water damage.
Here’s why a leaky faucet should be resolved as soon as possible:
- Wasted water: Just three drops of water per minute wastes an estimated 157 gallons of water per year.
- Higher utility bills: Don’t pay for water you’re not using — leaks drive up your water costs, sometimes going unnoticed for long periods of time.
- Mold or mildew growth: Puddles pooling under a sink aren’t just a slip risk — they encourage mold or mildew growth from trapped moisture.
- Structural damage: Hidden leaks or a dripping faucet can lead to wood rot, compromised drywall, or visible water stains.
Faucet Installation & Replacement
While many faucets can be fixed, replacing or installing a new one may be the best option if your current faucet is aged, corroded, or damaged beyond repair or if replacement parts are hard to find. Installing a new faucet offers several benefits, including:
- Greater water efficiency
- Improved water pressure and flow
- A modern, updated appearance
- Increased home value
- Reliable, consistent performance

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I repair or replace a leaky faucet?
A dripping faucet can often be resolved by replacing the cartridge, washer, or O-ring. But if the leak persists or is coming from the base or handle, replacing the faucet may be the best solution.
Why does my tub faucet leak when the shower is on?
A tub faucet may leak when the shower is on because of a worn or damaged diverter valve or hard water buildup in the valve. The diverter valve controls the flow of water between the tub and shower, and if it’s faulty, it can cause leaks from the faucet. Replacing or repairing the diverter valve is typically the best solution.
Why is there no water coming out of my faucet?
A leak is the most common culprit for a faucet with no water. If the issue is isolated to just one faucet, mineral buildup from hard water may be to blame. Over time, deposits of calcium and lime can accumulate in the main water valve, clogging it and cutting off water flow completely.
