Don't rush to replace the leaking faucet, teach you how to quickly handle it
The faucet is not tightly closed and always leaks. It is possible that the small rubber ring inside is broken. Would it be a big hassle to replace the faucet? If left unchecked, there is a possibility that the initial dripping water will turn into splashing water, and it will be too late to change again. Let's teach you how to manually repair the faucet yourself.
1. The gap at the junction of the faucet is leaking, which may be due to the contact area not being tightened. Try tightening the screws.
2. If the outlet of the faucet leaks, it is possible that the sealing tape is damaged. Use pliers to remove the faucet and roll a new waterproof tape in the place where the screws are fixed.
3. Damaged sealing rings of faucets can also cause water leakage. It is necessary to replace the sealing rings with new ones and use a wrench to unscrew the sealing nuts. The sealing ring is an "O" shaped rubber piece, and there are also thin ropes or metal wires wrapped around the valve core under the sealing nut. If it is broken, take it down and replace it with a new one, and then tighten the nut. Before tightening the nut, it is better to apply a little Vaseline oil to the thread and nut of the valve core.
4. Damaged shaft gaskets inside the faucet can also cause water leakage. Remove the pressure cover of the faucet, use a clamp to remove the worn shaft gasket, and replace it with a new one.
5. If the valve seat is broken, there will be water leakage in the area where the faucet comes into contact with the countertop. Of course, you can choose to replace the entire faucet or just replace one valve seat. Removing the valve seat is simple and can be done with a wrench. If it cannot be removed, insert a suitable valve seat sleeve that can slide into the old valve seat and provide a seal. There are two types of valve seat rollers or grinders that can flatten worn valve seats. Remove the valve core before using a sander. Rotate it clockwise with appropriate force a few times to clean the fallen metal shavings.
