Why Is My Faucet Leaking Suddenly?
Faucet Issues/Symptoms
There’s nothing quite as pesky as a dripping faucet and a faucet that leaks just once per second can waste upwards of 50 gallons of water a month. There are several reasons your faucet could be leaking:
- Loose parts: When the faucet is not in use, all parts should line up and form a tight seal. Loose nuts or connections can cause a leak.
- Worn-out parts: O-rings, washers, or seals can become loose or damaged over time.
- High water pressure: Water pressure can damage the faucet body and spout, and cause water to come out of the spout as a spray.
- Corroded valve seat: Water sediments can cause the valve seat to corrode, which can lead to a leak. Cleaning the valve seat frequently can help reduce the chances of corrosion.
- Broken pipes: Broken pipes can cause a leak.
- Age of the pipe: The pipe may be rusted out.
If you’re experiencing any of these issues call Aspen Plumbing Services in Jackson, Michigan today.

How Do I Choose The Right Fixtures?
New Faucet Installation
- Height: The height of the spout affects comfort and space when cleaning dishes and filling pots. Spouts can range from 8–16 in.
- Size: The size of your sink and the pots and pans you use should be considered when choosing a faucet. For example, a larger sink may need a larger tap with a longer spout, while a smaller sink may look best with a smaller tap.
- Configuration: Match the faucet’s configuration to your sink. For example, don’t buy a faucet with more holes for water lines than the sink or counter where you’ll install it.
- Style: Choose a style that suits your decor.
- Durability: Ceramic valves are more reliable than other types of valves and can help prevent dripping.
- Water usage: Consider faucets with low-flow technology, aerators, or flow regulator attachments to use less water.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Do I Need a Plumber to Clear a Clogged Drain?

Regular use can lead to expensive repairs down the line because damaged pipes are more susceptible to leaking or even bursting. Our expert plumbers in Jackson have the proper equipment and knowledge to assess your clog and get your pipes running smoothly quickly! Call us today at (517) 750-9913!

How Can I Prevent Frozen Water Pipes?
What Shouldn’t I Put Down My Sink?
Whether it’s your kitchen, bathroom or laundry sink, it’s important to be mindful of what you put down the drain. Substances such as grease, flour, oils, caustic chemicals and other sticky substances should not go down your drain. Over time, they may cause a clog which will slow down your drains and could cause serious plumbing complications. Be sure to dispose of these liquids properly to ensure your drains and pipes are running smooth for years to come.
How Do Roots Get Into My Pipes?
Over time, roots can enter your in-ground pipes either through a cracked pipe or broken pipe connection. The roots follow water the water and oxygen and they can cause extensive pipe damage and clogs. Our expert plumbers and drain cleaning and jetting experts at Aspen Plumbing Services have the knowledge and equipment to remove the roots and repair or replace the pipe. If you expect your pipes may have roots, call us today at (517) 750-9913.
Why Won't My Toilet Stop Running?
Have you flushed the toilet just to come back later and find it still running? This is a common occurrence especially in homes with older toilets because over time the flapper loses its water-tight seal around the flush-valve opening allowing water to continue to flow into the toilet bowl from the tank. This can be very costly and cause your water meter or well-pump to run excessively. If your toilet looks to be in need of repair or replacement, call Aspen Plumbing Services today.
