WHAT KINDS OF PROBLEMS CAN LEAKY FAUCETS REALLY CAUSE?
Most people ignore leaky faucets, even though fixing them can be quick, easy, and quite painless. Procrastinating on fixing the leak, and not taking care of it can do some pretty significant damage.
The damage from your leaky faucet is not minimal. There are some issues you can expect by ignoring a leaky faucet.
Higher Water Bills
Leaky faucets may not seem like they’re expelling much water, but the reality is that they can cost you a lot of money. Just fixing a single dripping faucet can save almost 10% of an average homeowner’s annual water bill.
Wasted Water Means Environmental Damage
The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), says, that an average household’s faucet leak can account for more than 10,000 gallons of wasted clean water each year. This is equivalent to doing 270 loads of laundry.
More Home Damage
Leaky faucets can put added stress on your plumbing and can cause drain clogs and overflows and may lead to deteriorating caulk and grout, which can result in water leaking through and damaging floorboards and ceilings throughout your home. Faucet leaks can also cause water stains in your sink as a result of minerals pooling in the sink bowl, a stain that is difficult to clean and may require the purchase of a new sink.

AN INCREASED RISK OF FLOODING
If you have a septic tank combined with a constantly running toilet, it can quickly turn into a flooding toilet, because all of that excess water risks flooding the tank, which will eventually lead to the saturation and failure of your septic’s drain field. The plumbing cost for this level of repair is much higher than the cost of simply fixing a toilet that won’t stop running.
A GREATER CHANCE OF BLOCKAGES
When a toilet bowl isn’t filling properly, it won’t flush properly either. Weak flushes can’t send nearly-enough water down through the pipes, which will greatly increase the odds that your bathroom’s pipes will become blocked with waste. It doesn’t take long for “soft pillow style” toilet paper to clog your pipes as it is heavy. This type of blockage could lead to flooding at any part of your drainage system. It leaves behind, a smelly, unpleasant, and costly mess to fix!
A HIGHER WATER BILL
You have to pay for every drop of water you use, whether you are “using” it or not. A running toilet can cause your utility bills to skyrocket. A running toilet can waste about 26 gallons of water a day. This could add up to a lot of money over the month/year. If your toilet is running, have a plumber come in and examine and repair the problem so you don’t waste money.
