Why Is My Faucet Dripping? - Executive Plumbing

Answer from Blake - Executive Plumbing Lincoln, CA

Dripping faucets are almost always caused by worn-out cartridges. Cartridges regulate water flow inside modern faucets, and over time, they wear down, harden, or fail to seal correctly, leaving you with constant drips. Unfortunately, cartridges aren’t universal. For some faucet brands, replacements are easy to find, but if the brand has been discontinued, the entire faucet may need to be replaced. While the drip might seem like a minor annoyance, it wastes water and can increase your bill significantly over time. Repairing or replacing the faucet saves money, reduces water waste, and restores convenience.

Summary:

A dripping faucet usually means the cartridge inside has failed. If replacements aren’t available, the faucet may need to be swapped out. Fixing it prevents wasted water and lowers your water bill.
