Faucet leaks can occur due to faulty parts, damage, and other issues. Below, find the signs that tell Louisville homeowners it’s time to call a plumber to look at their faucets:

• Faucet Leaks Never Stop
• Faucet Handle Sticks or Squeaks When Moved
• Water Flow Is Irregular or Jets Out at an Unusual Angle
• Signs of Minerals and Rust Are Seen in the Water or Built Up on The Fixture
• Pipes Make a Gurgling or Knocking Noise When The Faucet Is On

Many of the small parts inside faucet fixtures can wear out, causing the faucet to leak when they need to be replaced. Some parts are replaceable, while other damage necessitates a faucet replacement. Your plumber thoroughly evaluates the condition of your fixture and informs you which possibilities are options to correct the plumbing issue you experience.

If a faucet has been severely damaged, it’s often better to replace the entire fixture rather than attempt repairs. New faucets can offer increased water conservation, expanded functionalities, and amazing style. A simple faucet upgrade makes a noticeable difference in the looks of your sinks and tubs, making faucet replacement an affordable and easy option for a quick interior facelift!

With good maintenance and care, a faucet works for about 10 to 15 years in the average home. Professional installation helps faucets stay in service longer, ensuring fixtures are correctly installed to protect the integrity of the faucet.

When you’re ready to replace the faucets throughout your Louisville area home, contact Jarboe’s Heating, Cooling & Plumbing to explore the many faucet models available in a variety of styles and finishes.

There are more options for faucet replacements than you can imagine. Despite the seemingly infinite options, kitchen and bathroom faucet fixtures fall into four general categories:

• A kitchen staple, the ball faucet incorporates a single handle attached to the spout via a round cap. Inside is a plastic or metal ball that allows the handle to adjust hot and cold water flow, free of washers.
• Cartridge faucets have a cartridge in the faucet stem that turns up and down to control water flow.
• Disk faucets are single-handled and have a thick cylinder body that holds a pressure balance cartridge in the mixing chamber as well as a ceramic disk that controls water flow when commanded by the handles.
• Compression washer faucets are an older option that has two rotating handles and washers that help control hot and cold water use.

Amongst these four categories, there are many styles available for installation with kitchen and bathroom sinks, depending on your sink fixtures, plumbing system setup, and other factors.

• A center-set faucet is a bathroom favorite, with a compact footprint and one body for the spout and both handles.
• Single-handled faucets are common in applications without space to spare, as they require just a single hole to mount.
• Spread-fit faucets take up more space, with three separate pieces installed on a sink – the spout as well as hot and cold handles.
• Bridge faucets sit above the surface of a sink, with pipes protruding from the hot and cold faucets to hold the spout.
• Wall-mounted faucets are positioned on the wall above a sink and are useful for sinks that sit high atop a vanity.

Once you select the style of faucet you want to install, finish options must be determined. Brass, zinc, stainless steel, and plastic are common options. Each finish requires special care to protect and maintain over the years a faucet is in use.
