Signs You Need to Replace Your Faucet

We often don't pay much attention and take advantage of our plumbing fixtures, especially the faucet, until a problem occurs that you could have avoided. The wear and tear of your faucet are substantial, from your kitchen sink, bathroom sink, bath, and such. Without consulting a plumber,how will you know when your faucet needs replacing? Here are signs that the time has come for you to replace your faucet:

1. Leaking Faucet

Leaks from faucets can usually be fixed by tightening some parts or repairing one of the internal components. Parts may be worn out or must have some damages that have caused the leaking. Most owners prefer to just replace the whole faucet given its low cost. ​

2. Scratches or chips on the ceramic

These are signs you need to replace your faucet. This may not disrupt its function, and of course, you could live with the scratches. But ceramic can age poorly and can breakdown anytime soon which cannot be repaired anymore.

3. Squeaking Faucet

As time passes with the daily use of these faucets, the threads at the stem of the faucet become worn. This cause some squeaking sound as you use it which can irritate us. A simple way to fix this is to apply plumbers grease on the threads. But worn out parts are signs a faucet need replacing soon.

4. Water is dribbling inconsistently

If the dripping won’t stop no matter how much you tighten it, prompt repairs are advisable, or better yet - have it replaced. The more often you tighten it, the faster the wear and tear of the faucet, just leading it to you replacing it sooner.
