COMMON CAUSES OF LEAKY FAUCETS

There could be several causes behind a leaky faucet, but before those causes, you need to know the basic types of faucets and why they leak. Following mentioned are the three main types of faucets with their leakage problems:

1- Rotary Ball Faucets
This is one of the most common types of faucets. A rotatory ball faucet is the one that rotates being in a socket, and that socket controls the flow and the temperature of the water. The rotatory ball in the socket can be of stainless steel and even plastic. The ball is simple and is usually constructed in the O-ring technique. These are one of the simplest to install and repair faucets. They typically start leaking because of the worn-out parts in them or because their O-rings are damaged.

2- Cartridge Faucets
These are also the standard sort of faucets and are easy to use. Cartridge faucets usually have a single handle that can be lifted up or down when needed. This design of the Faucet makes it easy to use but can create complications internally. Cartridge faucets have got O rings at each end of the corners to control the temperature and the flow of the water in a reasonable way. In cartridge faucets too, these O rings are the source of leakage.

3- Ceramic Disc Faucets
Ceramic disk faucets are another type of cartridge faucet that has got the ceramic disks other than the O rings. Ceramic disks in faucets can be problematic sometimes and can become the cause of leakage.

Main causes of leaky faucets

Following mentioned are the two underlying causes of leaky faucets:

1. Loose Parts
Faucets have small parts, and all the parts work with a condition to make sure that water is flowing smoothly. Because of the prolonged usage of faucets, these parts can have wear and tear over time. Due to this wear and tear, faucets can start leaking, and you then have to replace the seals or the rings of your Faucet.

2. Worn Out O-rings
This type of issue arises in the cartridge faucets when the O rings start wearing out. O rings are the rubber gaskets used in making connections between the internal parts and the cartridge of the faucets. O rings cannot function in the long run, and they are needed to be replaced once they start leaking. If issues like leakage starts, first you need to remove the cartridge and then check whether you need to replace just the O rings or the whole cartridge.
