You probably have at least three or four faucets in various places in your home in Ocean City, NJ. Over time, you might notice that one or more of them need replacing. Read on to learn about four signs that it may be time to consider investing in a faucet replacement
1. Low Water Pressure
Although there are other things that can cause low water pressure, an old faucet is one of the most common. When debris and scale build up inside the faucet, they restrict the flow of water. A new faucet lets you update the sink’s style as well.
2. Leaking Faucet
You may not notice that your faucet is leaking until the water bill comes. It could leak slowly, a drip here and a drip there. Or it could gush at one time or another.
If you notice leaking, you can try tightening the faucet. If that doesn’t work, then it may be time to have an expert replace it for you.
3. Unusual Sounds When Turning on the Water
When you turn on the water, you should hear only its gentle “whoosh.” Heavy grinding or ominous gurgling are not normal. If you hear unusual sounds like these, then it could be time to replace the faucet.
4. Bad-Smelling Faucet
Faucets also shouldn’t smell bad. When off-putting odors come out of the faucet, it could mean that there’s a buildup of something stinky in the faucet itself. Replacing the faucet should remove the problem smells.
