That leak wastes water, and has the potential to get much worse while you\u2019re away or asleep. Many people take care of these repairs themselves, and you can find lots of instructions and videos on the web.<\/p>\n\n<p>A faucet may start leaking due to seals or washers drying out, mechanical wear, corrosion, or the build up of deposits. The gist of all repairs is cleaning and replacing parts. As complicating factors there are usually handles, caps, hidden set screws, and more just to get to the parts that need attention. There are also many types of faucet mechanisms, and you may not know for sure what type you have until you\u2019re well into your repair.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis: 50%;\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped is-style-pretty wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"13210\" class=\"wp-image-13210\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asapdrainandplumbing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/8d342e08-2cf6-4770-9980-7323db2ec3d4_cdv_photo_003-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"faucet repair and replacement san diego\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asapdrainandplumbing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/8d342e08-2cf6-4770-9980-7323db2ec3d4_cdv_photo_003-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.asapdrainandplumbing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/8d342e08-2cf6-4770-9980-7323db2ec3d4_cdv_photo_003-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.asapdrainandplumbing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/8d342e08-2cf6-4770-9980-7323db2ec3d4_cdv_photo_003-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.asapdrainandplumbing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/8d342e08-2cf6-4770-9980-7323db2ec3d4_cdv_photo_003-1440x1920.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.asapdrainandplumbing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/8d342e08-2cf6-4770-9980-7323db2ec3d4_cdv_photo_003.jpg 1512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"13209\" class=\"wp-image-13209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asapdrainandplumbing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/6e7c9649-eed1-484e-9a16-a0c42f1230d3_cdv_photo_000-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"faucet replacement and repair\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asapdrainandplumbing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/6e7c9649-eed1-484e-9a16-a0c42f1230d3_cdv_photo_000-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.asapdrainandplumbing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/6e7c9649-eed1-484e-9a16-a0c42f1230d3_cdv_photo_000-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.asapdrainandplumbing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/6e7c9649-eed1-484e-9a16-a0c42f1230d3_cdv_photo_000-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.asapdrainandplumbing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/6e7c9649-eed1-484e-9a16-a0c42f1230d3_cdv_photo_000-1440x1920.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.asapdrainandplumbing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/6e7c9649-eed1-484e-9a16-a0c42f1230d3_cdv_photo_000.jpg 1512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-bne-list  bne-list has-columns-1\" style=\"--icon: url('https:\/\/www.asapdrainandplumbing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/icon-wrench.png'); --icon-size: 32px; --gap: 16px; --font-size: 16px; --columns: 1; text-align: left;\">\n<ul class=\"bne-img-list\">\n<li><strong>Compression.<\/strong>\u00a0These are the oldest style, commonly encountered in bathroom faucet repair and laundry room sinks, and are in many ways the easiest to repair. Most often access is easy and you only need to replace the rubber washer and add a little plumber\u2019s grease. Sometimes it\u2019s necessary to re-grind the valve seat to provide a good seal. This requires a special tool and a bit of skill. If done improperly it may be necessary to replace the faucet.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cartridge.<\/strong>\u00a0This mechanism is most common in shower faucet repair. Repair can be a bit tricky, and it\u2019s not that much more expensive to simply replace the entire cartridge.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ball.<\/strong>\u00a0This type is most commonly encountered in single-lever kitchen repairs. The mechanism has numerous parts, and it can be quite involved just getting to those that need replacing. It\u2019s much easier to just use a replacement kit, but that still has numerous seals and springs to deal with.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ceramic Disk.<\/strong>\u00a0This newer technology is a bit simpler, and involves just cleaning the cylinder and replacing seals. It\u2019s necessary to turn the water back on slowly to avoid fracturing the ceramic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>If you\u2019re repairing cartridge, ball, or ceramic faucets you\u2019ll be replacing O-ring seals and perhaps other parts. It\u2019s critical that the replacement parts match exactly. Don\u2019t forget to protect the drain, sink, and the faucet itself with a rag to prevent accidents and marring the surface. Or you can just call ASAP Drain Guys &amp; Plumbing. We can be there quickly with all the necessary parts and tools, and with the skills to do the job right.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Replacement<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<p>Pictured is the commercial water heater of one of our clients, a McDonald's restaurant in Escondido, CA.
