Repair and Replace Indianapolis Faucets with a Licensed Plumber

Each faucet in your kitchen, bathroom, or utility room is vital to comfortable living. A leaky faucet, a loose faucet handle, low water flow, or hot and cold water supply issues sometimes occur in faucets throughout the home. Faucet parts such as the packing nut and seals inside the fixture wear out or sustain damage – faulty parts inside faucets and other plumbing issues are possible reasons your faucets leak or experience performance problems.

A leaky faucet is something that needs repair right away. When faucet issues are ignored, homeowners can unknowingly contribute to water waste – according to the Environmental Protection Agency, the average U.S. home leaks 90 gallons of water or more per day, with many sources of leaks going unknown or ignored. Beyond wasting resources, the consequences of a persistent water leak include the potential mold growth and serious water damage to areas of the home.

Do you have a broken or leaky faucet or showerhead in your home? Even a leak that looks slow adds up to cause thousands of gallons of water waste over the months and years, causing unnecessary consumption and cost increases on your water bill. Beyond the wasting your water, the leak may also cause electrical or gas waste. Leaks affect hot and cold faucet handles, so hot and cold water may leak – if you have a hot water leak, the energy consumed by the water heater to produce it is also wasted.

Faucets have many small moving parts that can wear out or break over time. A broken faucet can have a slow leak, wasting hundreds of gallons of water over time. Sometimes, when faucets break, water may begin spraying uncontrollably all over the wall or room. In this situation, it is important to call a plumber for faucet repair services as soon as possible. In the event that your faucet has broken and is spraying water, you can turn off the water using a water shutoff valve in the meantime.

When you need to replace a faucet, you have many options. There are four general types of faucets used in kitchens and bathrooms throughout the Indianapolis area.

• A ball faucet is a common choice in kitchens. They have one faucet handle that attaches to a round cap over the spout. A metal or plastic ball component housed within the faucet body allows the user to adjust water flow. Ball faucets do not use washers.
  
  
• A cartridge faucet has a stem cartridge that moves upwards and downwards to adjust water flow. You’ll know a faucet is a cartridge model if you can feel the up-and-down motion when you turn the handle.
  
  
• A disk faucet is a newer option that has a single faucet handle on a thick cylinder for its body. These faucets have a mixing chamber that combines hot and cold water, known as the pressure balance cartridge. There is a ceramic disk down in the chamber that raises and lowers to manage water flow when temperatures are adjusted by handle rotation.
  
  
• A compression washer faucet is an older type of faucet. These models are prone to leaks as washers wear out over time. Two handles rotate tightly to adjust the flow of water.

Beyond the main faucet categories, homeowners have many options to choose from that offer different aesthetics.

• The common center set faucet is often found in bathrooms. It’s typically a single-body faucet with a small, compact footprint.
• A single-handle faucet doesn’t require much space or drilling to mount, making it a great choice when space is limited.
• Spread-fit faucets have three pieces that are installed separately on the sink’s surface – the main waterspout, and hot and cold control handles.
• Bridge faucets are positioned above the sink’s surface, with hot and cold controls connecting to a center-mounted faucet to create a “bridge.” If you’re looking for a modern, industrial aesthetic, these faucets are a favorite.
• A wall-mounted faucet is mounted on a wall above a sink rather than protruding from the sink’s surface. Use these faucets with decorative sinks that sit higher.

In addition to styles, there are many finishes to choose from when buying a new faucet. Brass, stainless steel, zinc, and plastic are options on many faucet models.
