Leaks do not repair themselves. A leaky faucet is the most common leak in a home. Black Mountain Plumbing has been repairing plumbing leaks in houses throughout San Diego County since 1993. We can identify all types of faucet leaks and fix them.
Malfunctioning O-ring – A faulty O-ring may be the most common factor for a faucet leak. The O-ring is a small rubber ring around the stem screw. Over time, faucet O-rings may weaken, permitting a trickle of water past the seal. To fix the O-ring, a plumber has to disassemble the faucet from the handle down. This is an easy repair and can generally be done within minutes.
Corroded Valve Seat– One of the most typical causes of a leaky faucet is a corroded valve seat. When water sediments collect on the valve seat, the spout will certainly start to leak. Cleaning the valve seat on a regular basis will avoid this problem.
Washer is Worn Out– This is a regular problem for any faucet. Water pressure forces the washer up against the valve seat. This continuous pressure breaks the washer. The simplest repair is replacing the washer.
Washer Not Installed Correctly– Often, if the washer is not installed correctly or is not of the right size, it can cause leakage. Get a professional plumber like Black Mountain Plumbing to install the washer correctly and the leak will disappear.
Loose Parts– A faucet is made use of a lot, the packing nuts and adjusting ring may become loose, triggering leaks. Leaky faucets are often caused by loose parts, adjust the packing nut or change it entirely.

This is likewise a main reason for water dripping. Work with a professional to clean or change your seals. This should quickly fix your leaking issues.
Broken Pipes or Fittings — A dripping faucet might likewise be the result of a busted pipe or fittings. Damaged pipes establish fractures that might disrupt the water pressure and cause faucet dripping from time to time.
