Troubleshooting Bathroom Faucet Issues
Over time, bathroom faucets can develop issues, but you can address them yourself. Leaks, drips, and low water flow are common problems. Dripping is rhythmic water flow even after closing the faucet, often caused by a dirty aerator. Cleaning or soaking the aerator can solve this. Constant dripping suggests a cartridge problem. Replace ceramic cartridges or springs and washers with washerless cartridges. Leaks can cause damage, so visually inspect and feel for moisture to locate the source. Perform a test with shut-off valves to pinpoint the leak. Low water flow may be due to a clogged aerator or blockage in the cartridge. Clean or replace the aerator and consult the manufacturer for cartridge replacement. Consider faucet replacement if necessary.
