We use our bathroom faucets multiple times a day. Whether we’re washing our hands after finishing our business or brushing our teeth after a meal, this faucet gets a lot of use. However, these household fixtures don’t last forever, and it helps to be able to identify the signs that you need a new bathroom faucet.
You may eventually notice that your faucet drips even when you turn the handles off completely. Sometimes, you might see water pooling around the base of the tap or from one of the handles. Dripping or leaky faucets aren’t automatically a cause for replacement, and you may be able to fix it by tightening certain parts on your pipe or faucet. However, if the drip persists even after repair attempts, it may be time to get a whole new system installed.
You can always prolong the life span of your plumbing fixtures by regularly cleaning them and running a chemical cleaning through your pipe to try and reduce obstructions. Eventually, though, you may start to notice persistent grime or rust that’s a sign of an older faucet. You don’t want these irritants to get into your water, so it may be time to replace the faucet. Fortunately, replacing a faucet is a home repair that you can do yourself, and it gives you an opportunity to find an exciting new faucet to suit your bathroom decor.
Have you ever turned on a faucet to get a whiff of a peculiar smell like rotten eggs or old socks? If you notice this smell from every water source in your home, you should contact your water company. However, if this smell is only coming from your bathroom sink, it’s a common sign that you need a new bathroom faucet. Bad smells or tastes in your water typically mean there’s some sort of clog or irritant contaminating your water. You may be able to clear this obstruction yourself or by calling a plumber, but a replacement faucet may also be the way to go.
