Leaks & Drips
01
Repair before replacing when practical.
A SMALL FIXTURE CAN CAUSE A LOT OF FRUSTRATION
Get the Faucet Working Properly Again
A faucet contains several components that can wear, loosen, clog or fail over time. Depending on the fixture, the problem may involve a cartridge, seal, connection, aerator, handle mechanism or another internal component.
Proflow can diagnose the cause and determine whether the existing faucet can be repaired or whether faucet installation of a replacement fixture makes more sense.
That drip is telling you something.
Persistent dripping usually means a component is no longer sealing correctly.
COMMON FAUCET PROBLEMS
What’s Wrong With Your Faucet?
Different symptoms can point to different parts of the fixture. Identifying what the faucet is doing helps narrow down the cause.
01
Constant Dripping
Water continues to drip from the spout after the faucet has been turned off.
02
Leak Around the Handle or Base
Water appears around the controls, faucet body or mounting area during use.
03
Weak or Uneven Flow
Reduced flow may be related to the faucet itself, buildup or another plumbing condition.
04
Stiff or Loose Handle
Controls become difficult to turn, feel loose or no longer regulate the water properly.

Identify the Fault
Narrow the problem down to the fixture, its components, connections or another part of the plumbing.
03
Repair Components
Repair or replace appropriate serviceable components where a faucet repair is practical.
04
Test Operation
Check water flow, controls and the repaired areas for proper operation and signs of leakage.
REPAIR OR REPLACE?
Not Every Faucet Problem Needs a New Faucet
The condition of the fixture, availability of suitable parts and the nature of the problem all matter.
WHEN IT MAY NOT JUST BE THE FAUCET
Look Beyond the Fixture When the Symptoms Don’t Add Up
A visible faucet leak is usually easy to notice, but water around a sink or cabinet does not always originate from the faucet spout itself. Connections, supply piping or nearby plumbing can also be involved.
For suspected hidden water loss, see Leak Detection. If the issue involves damaged piping rather than the fixture, see Pipe Repair.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Faucet Repair FAQ
Can a dripping faucet usually be repaired?
Many dripping faucets can be repaired when the problem involves a serviceable internal component. The faucet should be inspected to determine the cause and whether repair is practical.
Why does my faucet leak around the handle?
Water around the handle can be associated with worn or damaged internal components or seals. The exact cause depends on the faucet design and condition.
Should I repair or replace an old faucet?
That depends on the fixture’s overall condition, the nature of the failure and whether appropriate replacement parts are available. A badly worn or repeatedly failing faucet may be better suited to replacement.
Can low flow be caused by the faucet?
Yes, the fixture or aerator can sometimes contribute to reduced flow, but low water flow can also have other plumbing causes. Diagnosis helps determine where the restriction or pressure problem originates.
