Red Rooter Plumbing's Ultimate Guide to Kitchen Faucet Service
A leaking kitchen faucet does not fall into the ‘maybe it will go away’ category. In fact, there is probably nothing that can be quite as annoying as the drip-drip-drip of a worn out leaking kitchen faucet. Any homeowner with leaking kitchen faucet problems tends to let those rise right to the top of the ‘fix it tomorrow’ list. That is, right after they go to the family doctor because of severe insomnia brought on by said leaking kitchen faucet.
There are also some rather important reasons to get that leaking kitchen faucet problem handled as quickly as possible. Aside from a leaking faucet’s ability to prevent sleep, there is the fact that every drip from that faucet is literally money down the drain.
Take a look at this handy ‘drip calculator’ from USGS.gov and see just where these types of plumbing problems can hit you where it hurts the most. Or, on the other hand, if your monthly water bill has seen an unusual increase over the past month or so, a leaking faucet, kitchen or otherwise could be the culprit.
Now, let’s take an in depth look at what exactly you can do to stop this very problematic leaking kitchen faucet.
Kitchen Faucet Services… To Repair or Replace?
Perhaps one of the things that make leaking faucets intimidating is found on the faucet aisle of the local home improvement store. Choices, choices, choices…two handle or single lever? Hi-rise or low (standard rise)? Triggered sprayer or not? Chrome finish, ceramic, brass, pewter? And the list goes on.
Then there is the section devoted to repair kits. This area is usually accompanied by a few reference books mounted on the display. All of those choices mentioned seem to have their own distinct repair kits made up of springs, seals, seats, cartridges, ceramic disks and on and on…
The right repair kit for your faucet is a pretty straightforward thing…if you know the manufacturer, make, model, etc. If you are that one in oh, say ten or twelve customers that actually knows that information, then you might have a fighting chance at stopping that money-hemorrhaging leak in your kitchen.
If you do choose the repair kit route, here are some things to remember when picking it out of the crowd.
- Some repair kits require special installation tools. Make sure that your kit either has one, or you know where to get one.
- Some repair kits are temperature specific. Is your hot water or cold water the one that is leaking?
- All repair kits contain many small parts, and they all serve a purpose. Make sure that the reassembly is correct so as not to cause any further leaking kitchen faucet problems.
Your other alternative is to bite the bullet and forego the repair kit and ‘spring’ (pun intended) for that nice new kitchen faucet.
Either way, you fully intend on getting some sleep tonight!
