If you notice a drip from your faucet, it could be a simple fix that saves you water and money. Start by tightening the faucet handle; sometimes, a loose handle is all that’s causing the leak. If the drip persists, the next step is to replace the washer or cartridge, which is often the source of the problem. Washers and cartridges can wear out over time, leading to slow leaks that add up.
Making these small adjustments and regular checks can go a long way in keeping your faucet in top shape and preventing unnecessary water waste.
