Is that annoying drip, drip, drip about to make you lose your mind?
Leaky faucets are a frequent household nuisance. But you want to save money, too. Do you really have to call a plumber?
Let’s give you the information you need to make the decision wisely so you can save water and money. You may even prevent much bigger problems in your home.
Leaky Faucets Have Hidden Costs
The first hidden cost is water waste.
Even a slow drip can waste hundreds of gallons per year. A tiny leak could cost $20 a month. That might not seem like much, but it adds up all the time. A cracked pipe could cost $600 a month. If your water bill is up that much, it’s definitely time to skip the rest of this article and to call us ASAP.
Of course, much depends on whether we’re talking about a simple, annoying leaky faucet or a leak under your sink or cabinets. Those leaks can cause mildew, mold growth, wood damage, and even subfloor damage if left unaddressed.
When It’s Time to Give Up and Call a Plumber Already
If you experience any of the following, you need the help of a licensed plumber.
You can’t identify the source of the leak.
- You see a leak at the base or underneath the sink, rather than at the faucet.
- You see signs of significant damage, such as water stains or warping wood.
- Your faucets are particularly expensive or complex.
- You lack tools or confidence—it’s okay to admit that! Not everyone is comfortable with plumbing work, and that’s ok.
Fixing the leak will typically cost less than you think it does.
