Leaky Faucet Repair & Replacement

leaky faucet repair & faucet replacement is an essential part of any business’s plumbing that plumbing experts should perform maintenance regularly.

If unchecked, faucets can cause costly leaks, which could dramatically increase a building’s water usage. If a faucet does not undergo prompt repair, it could lead to problems later down the road, such as bursts or decreased flow rate.

Benefits of Leaky Faucet Repair

Sink repair and replacement can bring plenty of benefits to business owners. Timely repair and replacement of your faucet can help keep a business or hospital up and running.

Why Repair a Faucet?

Many owners don’t realize just how much of their business runs on water. Cleaning, surgical, sanitizing equipment, and more all run on water. For this reason, it is essential to ensure all systems are in working order.

Faucet repair can help keep a plumbing system healthy. Since a faucet sees a lot of daily usages, it is a good indicator of the overall health of a system. For example, if a business has issues with hard water buildup, their faucets will usually contain blockage or mineral deposits.

Business owners should not ignore these indicators, which is why we recommend frequent maintenance and inspection.
Sink repair also has the following benefits:

• It saves money on water each month
• It prevents leaks and other issues
• Bursts are less likely to occur
• The flow rate will improve
• Better energy-efficiency
• And more!

A healthy plumbing system can help a company run more effectively, as it serves as its backbone.

If faucets are adequately repaired and serviced, then the system will function more effectively. While faucets may have a 20 year or more lifespan, it is best to maintain them regularly to ensure they last as long as possible.

Faucets in high-usage environments may not last as long as residential or low-use commercial units, so it is best to know the level of wear the system will experience.

Toilet Repair

Plumbing is essential in our everyday lives. As any homeowner knows, plumbing problems are inevitable. The most common problem with a toilet is the need for one part or another to be replaced. Certified Plumbing of Brevard can help you with your toilet repair needs. The most common toilet repair is the replacement of the rubber flapper. The rubber flapper controls the water level in the tank, keeping it filled to just the right level so that it all goes down when you flush. Some flappers are glued to a chain, while others sit inside another piece called an overflow tube where they can float up and down more quickly. It’s essential to make sure that when you replace your rubber flapper, you also replace everything associated with it (the chain or tube, for example). If one part is left unchanged while another part is replaced, your new parts won’t work well together, and there will be problems with refilling your tank after each flush.

Benefits of a Plumber Helping with your Toilet Repair

There are many benefits to having a plumber help with your toilet repair. A plumber will be able to come out and help you with your toilet repair. They can look at the parts you have and tell you if they need to be replaced or if they still work well enough that it’s a waste of money to replace them. Another benefit is that some plumbers also do preventive maintenance to check your entire home for potential problems before something goes wrong. For example, a plumber may find a water pipe leak while going through your house, making minor repairs on the way, which saves you from needing costly emergency repair services when something goes wrong in the future. Having a plumber come to your house can provide you with multiple benefits, including saving you time and money.

If the water level is low enough that it’s not flushing correctly, then there are two possible culprits: either the fill valve isn’t filling it back up after each flush, or the tank itself has sprung a leak at one of the seams. To determine which side needs to be replaced, remove the cover on top of your toilet tank and check for water levels by looking inside. If there is no water in sight in either case, then you know that the entire cylinder has sprung a leak somehow. Other indicators that there may be problems in this area would be rust-colored stains in your toilet bowl.

Water Levels

Understanding water levels in plumbing is essential because it can be a sign of leaks, blockages, or other problems in your house. Knowing how much water should be in the plumbing system is the first step to understanding a problem with certain fixtures or appliances you use regularly. From sinks and faucets to toilets and tubs, here are some basic guidelines for knowing what level of water you should expect at each fixture:

Bathtubs:

A typical bathtub will hold anywhere from 40-60 gallons of water once filled up. This depends on the size of your bathtub; larger ones naturally hold more water than smaller ones. Your local hardware store might sell gauges that can easily measure this amount. 

Toilets:

There are three measurements that you need to know about when looking at your toilet. The first number refers to how much water it takes for your toilet to fill up. This measurement should be anywhere between 1.6 gallons and 2.5 gallons, depending on local regulations. If your water fills the bowl in around one minute or less, this means you have an efficient toilet (the best kind). Otherwise, if it takes more than two minutes, you may want to consider getting a new model soon; this is usually the time limit in most places for older toilets in particular.

Sinks:

For most sink faucets, the first number is the one that counts. Anything between two and a half to 2.2 gallons per minute is allowed by law, depending on where you live. If your water turns off before you have finished washing your hands, then consider using a different sink or getting a new faucet head if possible.

What is water pressure?

Water pressure, or head pressure as it is called in plumbing, is the force that a liquid (in this case, water) exerts on an object. Water pressure under normal conditions can usually be measured with a simple gauge attached to the end of a hose. High and low pressures fall under two categories: pressure when reaching maximum capacity (high) or below minimum capacity (low).

Pressure when reaching maximum capacity

When water is filling up inside a hose at fast speeds, the air inside it has nowhere to go because there are no empty spaces left for it to fill. Water meeting maximum capacity causes it to compress into itself until air particles start pushing back against each other.

Saves Money Each Month

Water bills are expensive, especially for hospitals and large commercial buildings. In these massive facilities, it can be challenging to determine which faucet or unit leaks.

Certified Plumbing of Brevard has plenty of experience diagnosing leaks; we have been working on properties both large and small for the past three decades. We will find and fix any leak a property may be experiencing. After we’ve fixed the issue, owners can expect to pay less on their water bills each month.

Prevents Leaks and Other Issues

Faucet failure is most commonly associated with leaks. Leaky faucets are more than just a nuisance; they can sometimes even be catastrophic for a large-scale business.

Hospitals have various types of faucets and fixtures at work during the day. These units keep vital sanitization, washing, and cleaning systems up and running. These systems help to keep the facility clean and functional throughout the day.

Properly maintaining faucets and fixtures allows these units to continue to work for longer.

Faucets can waste a lot of water over time, which can be a hassle for business owners to diagnose. Often, leaks can go unnoticed for quite some time, which can make troubleshooting the issue difficult.

Bursts Are Less Likely

If sediment or minerals begin to build in the faucet, it could potentially result in a burst. A burst usually occurs once significant water pressure builds in the pipes leading to the faucet.

This pressure buildup has nowhere else to go but outward, as mineral deposits have completely blocked off the faucet.
This intense pressure buildup can cause a burst, which can cause:

• Water damage
• Flooding
• Damage to the plumbing system
• And more

In the case of a burst, we recommend calling an emergency plumbing service and turning off the water. Certified Plumbing of Brevard offers 24/7 service for our clients, and we would be happy to help repair any bursts or leaks.

Flow Rate Will Improve

If a business owner has noticed a decrease in the overall flow rate of their faucet, it may be time to replace it.
A decrease in flow rate indicates:

• The age of the faucet
• Mineral buildup
• Old pipes
• Hard water issues

Since various issues are associated with a loss of pressure, it is best to call a plumbing specialist to assist with the faucet in question. A plumbing expert ensures that a specialist will repair the unit effectively.

After calling an expert, many property owners report increased flow rate and water pressure in their unit. This increased flow rate allows the systems that rely on the faucet to function seamlessly.

The added water pressure could significantly improve performance in vital parts of the business in a hospital or commercial setting.

Better Energy-Efficiency

Business owners can save even more money after replacing their unit by replacing it with a more energy-efficient alternative.

The Department of Energy recommends replacing less-efficient units with newer, energy-efficient ones as soon as possible. This practice doesn’t just save money; it also wastes less water.

What to Do In a Plumbing Emergency

If a leak has gone unnoticed and caused flooding or bursting, don’t worry. Certified Plumbing Brevard’s emergency plumbing services can assist any home or business owner in need. Our comprehensive emergency repair will help repair any problem an owner might be facing.
In an emergency, we recommend:

1. Turn off the Water: Turning off the water is the most critical step, especially in a burst or flood situation. An owner can prevent additional damage to walls, floors, or ceilings by turning off the water.
2. Survey the Situation: After turning off the water, we recommend cleaning up the area. It is also best to survey the scene so that plumbing experts can know what to expect when they arrive.
3. Call Certified Plumbing of Brevard: After these steps are complete, a business owner should call an emergency plumbing service. Certified Plumbing of Brevard can assist homeowners with their emergency needs, from leaks and bursts to drain repair.
   Our dedicated team will arrive at the location promptly, working to fix the issue as soon as possible.
