When it comes to annoying sounds, a dripping faucet is probably way up there on the list for most of us. If you ever tried sleeping through a night with a faucet dripping, you probably thought you were going to go nuts. Having a dripping faucet is not only irritating though, but it is also a waste since just a single dripping faucet could waste thousands of gallons of water each year.
To fix a dripping faucet can be fairly straightforward, but in some situations, it might be easier to just replace the faucet, especially if it is an older faucet.
So, what parts should you look at to stop leaking? Usually, it will be something simple like an o-ring, gasket, or washer that needs replacing. If you can find a manual for your faucet that breaks it up into its parts, you should be able to spot where there might be parts that need replacing.
