Faucets ~ Denver, Colorado

Got a leaky faucet? You might want to get it fixed today. A faucet that drips twice per second will waste approximately 100 gallons of water each month. And a simple drip that becomes a steady stream could cost you thousands of gallons of water per month.

Below are the most common types of faucets:

Compression faucets: This older type of faucet consists of two knobs, one for hot water and one for cold water. When the knobs are turned, water flows. Compression faucets can start leaking or dripping when a washer fails.

Ball faucets: Ball faucets are found in many households and operate with a single, moving handle that turns on a “ball” in the faucet housing. This type of faucet can fail because of a loose adjusting ring, worn valve seats or springs, or a worn washer.

Disk Faucets: Disc faucets come in single and double handle models, and a ceramic disk assembly opens and closes to allow water through the faucet. This type of faucet is one of the most reliable, but seals, o-rings, and stems can fail, causing drips or leaks.

Cartridge Faucets: Cartridge faucets come in single handle, and a cartridge assembly regulates water flow. Faults in a series of o-rings are usually to blame with leaks or drips in cartridge faucets.
