We’ve mentioned in the past how annoying a dripping faucet is, but mostly about how unprofitable it can be. However, it is true that it is one of the most common plumbing problems. The possibility that, at some point, the faucet in our house will leak is great, and that’s why it’s good that we all know what to do. At least until a professional takes over.
Everything you need to do when the faucet is dripping
Prepare properly
When you start doing such jobs, you obviously need the right tools. The most likely cause of your faucet dripping is worn hoses. So start there and get the ones that match your faucet. Next you will need a crab and a screwdriver. Do not attempt to experiment without these tools. Trust us, you will suffer a lot.
Get a job
The first step you should take, so that you don’t have to deal with worse later, is to turn off the central water supply for the house. Then turn your faucet on all the way until it’s empty of all the water that’s trapped there. Now is the time for action. With your crab, unscrew the faucet and with the screwdriver, remove the screw that holds the rubber band to the spout.
Notice the rubber band
If you have done all of the above, you should now be holding the rubber band in your hand. Pay close attention to whether it is worn or simply dirty. In the first case, it must be replaced immediately if you want your accounts to remain at normal levels. In the second case, you can simply clean it well and put it back in its place. After you have done all this process, isn’t it a good opportunity to do a good preventive cleaning on your siphon?
Place them back in place
Once you’ve fixed what you need to do to keep your faucet from dripping, it’s time to pack up and check the results. Carefully screw the faucet head back on and turn the main switch back on. He blinked the faucet a few times to restore the flow. When the water flows smoothly you must observe if the problem continues or if you have succeeded. If at night in your sleep you hear that annoying noise again, don’t think about it anymore. Contact a professional who will solve the problem easily and immediately.
Check regularly for any leaks in the plumbing
Even a small hole, you can’t imagine how many problems it can cause you if you don’t detect it in time. Or at least we hope you can’t. The best way to avoid the “big bang” is to check your space regularly. Check the walls of your home for signs of moisture or mold. If your house has an unheated basement, you need to be doubly careful, especially in winter. If you happen to make an appointment with a plumber, or thermoplumbing, don’t hesitate to ask him to inspect your space and give you his advice.
Open your cupboards
The most common problems may be caused by the external installations of your home, but this does not mean that you should forget about the internal ones. Like outdoor plumbing, indoor plumbing can freeze in the cold. An easy solution for heating the internal pipes is to open your cabinets. This will help transfer heat from the indoor environment of the house to the pipes, keeping them warmer. In case of a big drop in temperature, don’t forget to leave some cupboards open! This way you will avoid unexpected breaks and all their accessories!
Plumbing problems are a common problem that can occur in any home. The damage can start from a simple gutter and even end up in a flood if you don’t act on time. If you want to limit the plumbing damage, you should provide a solution as soon as possible.
