If any of your faucets are leaking, you can turn to our team at Baity Plumbing Company to get the effective repair services you need. However, if the same faucet keeps malfunctioning, then it might be more cost-effective and convenient to get a faucet replacement service instead.
In this article, our team will go over three signs it’s time to get a new faucet instead of trying to repair your old one yet again.
- Faucet Leaks from Handle – One sign it’s time for a faucet replacement is if your faucet is leaking from under the handles. It’s especially bad for a faucet to leak from the handle area because the leak can continue even when the faucet is turned off, which means it will waste more water and cause damage to the surrounding surfaces. Once your faucet reaches this point, your best option is to replace it with a new model.
- Finish is Flaking Off – Another sign it’s time to schedule a faucet replacement is if the finish is peeling or flaking off the faucet and handles. While you can scrub off grime and hard water deposits, once the finish itself starts to peel, then cleaning will no longer be effective.
- Faucet is Too Old – Lastly, we encourage you to call us for faucet replacement services if your faucet is more than 15 to 20 years old. This is the typical lifespan of a faucet, and if yours is older than that, then you are probably wasting water. Our team can replace your old faucet with a more efficient model to help you conserve water and save on your utility bills.
