Generally, the first step that our dedicated contractors will take is to examine your fixtures to find a fast and affordable solution through reliable repairs. In some cases, all it takes is a minor adjustment or a small replacement part to get your fixture back to normal again.

You should start thinking about getting updated plumbing fixtures if you notice:

• There are multiple leaks throughout the extent of your drain system
• The porcelain toilet bowl has cracks, or your sink is chipped
• You are thinking of getting your home remodeled
• You are using too much water each month

What Are the Advantages of New plumbing Fixtures? 

There are several benefits to the replacement of plumbing fixtures. Sometimes, people opt to update their fixtures during a bathroom or kitchen renovation. Other times, people are replacing a broken fixture or soon-to-be-broken fixture. 

Here are the advantages of new fixtures: 

1. Lower Utility Bills - Older fixtures often use more water, whereas newer fixtures are designed to lower monthly water bills by using significantly less water. 
2. Eliminating Previous Plumbing Problems - New fixtures result in fewer toilet clogs or leaky faucets. Old fixtures can be quite expensive if you're paying for multiple repairs. Replacement is often more cost-effective in the long run. 
3. Increases Home Resale Value - Updating your plumbing fixtures can increase your home's resale value. 
4. Improved Overall Fixture Function - Sometimes, new fixtures can improve the quality of life of an individual. For example, a home with small children may want a bathtub suitable and easy for bathtime. Whereas, an older couple may want a toilet or bathtub with handrails to improve their safety. 

Why Is My Faucet Dripping After the Water Was Turned Off?

There are a whole host of reasons why your faucet could be dripping water even after you turn it off. Some of the most common reasons why faucets leak include:

• A worn out O-ring - This typically results in leaks beneath the faucet handle
• Worn down inlet or outlet seals - This is an issue that occurs specifically with disc cartridge faucets
• Corroded valve seats - The valve seat is the connecting mechanism between the faucet and the spout; when corrosion occurs this can result in a leak
• Loosened or damaged seat washers - In some cases the washer will just need to be tightened, but in some situations it may need to be replaced if it’s worn out or damaged
• Poor installation - If you installed the fixture yourself it’s possible that you didn’t tighten everything properly and this could be resulting in a leak

Does Hard Water Ruin Faucets?

Yes, in many cases if faucets are not cleaned regularly and maintained, hard water build-up can result in a ruined fixture. Once sign that you may have hard water is if you notice a white or yellow flaky buildup around your sink, shower head, faucets, etc. One solution for hard water is to invest in a water softener. This not only extends the life of your fixtures, but also ensures that your water pressure isn’t decreased by the calcium buildup.

How Can I Temporarily Stop a Leaky Faucet?

If your bathtub faucet is leaking, or if your kitchen sink has a constant drip, you may be looking for ways to temporarily stop the leaking while you arrange to have the fixture replaced. Here are some quick temporary fixes for a leaky faucet:

1. If the endless dripping sound is driving you crazy, try tying a string around the faucet spout, then dangle the end of the string down far enough that it touches the bowl of the sink; the water drops will run down the string directly into the drain and eliminate the dripping sound
2. Try adjusting the handle on the faucet to see if turning it at a different angle helps eliminate the dripping
3. If you seem to be wasting a lot of water due to the leaking, you can turn off the water supply to the faucet until a plumber can arrive to fix the issue

At the end of the day, the best solution for a leaky faucet is to call the pros and let them handle it! Give Venture Plumbing a call at (866) 483-6887 or send us a message online and get the help you need.
