Kitchen Faucet Repair Best Handled By the Pros

You turn the water on at your kitchen sink and discover water leaking from the base of the on/off lever. When you turn the water off, water keeps seeping from it. You know you need kitchen faucet repair but can you do it yourself or do you have to call a plumber?

Some faucet repairs are simple enough to do yourself but can still be frustrating unless you know what you are doing and have some experience, not to mention the right tools. If you don’t know how to find the cause of the problem and don’t have the right tools, you could make the problem worse. Then you would end up calling a plumber anyway and paying more than you likely would have if you had called in the professionals to start with.

When you call the plumbing company, tell them what brand, type and age of the kitchen faucet you have as well as where the leak is and how much it is leaking. This gives the plumber an idea of what he may be dealing with so he will have the right replacement parts with him.

A common reason for a leak in a kitchen faucet are gaskets that have worn out and no longer seal. Another frequent cause of leaking is a faulty diverter valve. These problems can be fixed by replacing the faulty part. Sometimes it is best to replace the entire kitchen faucet, especially if the fixture is old.

Since the kitchen faucet gets a lot of use, it is important to keep it in good repair. Having a reliable plumber to call on will save money and frustration when you need a kitchen faucet repair job done.
