What causes a leaky faucet in Tustin
Leaky faucets are caused by many things.
The most common cause of a leaky faucet is corrosion.
This happens with age and you notice it when the area becomes a green or white color that used to be a metal color.
This is a chemical reaction to water and what chemicals are added to water by the water company.
Corroded faucets can easily be repaired with a replacement of just the corroded piece of pipe.
Another thing that causes faucets to leak is when the materials used to secure the faucet to the base or sink start to erode, this is when the caulking materials get old or weren’t installed correctly.
