Repairing a Leaky Faucet

The leak may be a simple repair and usually occurs caused by two reasons. A leaky faucet can harm the foundation of your house, cause an injury risk and cause your water bill at a high rate. We suggest fixing the leaky faucet as quickly as you can.

Look at the packing nut first, which get located outside the faucet. A loose packing nut could cause leaks. By tightening it, you may stop your leak. If the leak is still there and continues to recur, you could have problems with your internal component. Examine the screws, washers, and internal components and replace the worn parts. If you need more than the above solutions and are dissatisfied, you might need to replace the faucet.

Replacing an Outdoor Faucet

If you’re a pro at handy work, replacing the faucet on your outdoor patio is easy. We recommend a frost-proof, insulated faucet for outdoor usage, primarily when you reside in Ottawa. Visit your local hardware store or purchase the faucet online. Before beginning the replacement process, turn off the water supply and remove the water spout by unbolting the valve. Then, remove your faucet from the wall. At the same time, you rotate the tap counterclockwise to loosen it. The new tap should be screwed into its spot, and switch your water back on. It is possible to remove the fixture from the concrete around it and then require another wrench to keep the pipe.

If you are still experiencing leaks and other problems, contact the experts for assistance at Ottawa Plumbing Service to have a professional plumber look.
