It’s wise to fix leaking faucets as soon as possible. If you don’t feel comfortable doing it yourself, or your repair doesn’t work, it’s time to call the leaking faucet pros at Billy the Sunshine Plumber.

You went to St. Pete’s Saturday Market the other day to pick up fresh vegetables and other treats for the coming holidays. Or at least, they were for the holidays until you started taste testing them. Now you’ll have to go back for more. But it wasn’t only the treats that caused an issue around your home. After you washed off your fresh vegetables before storing them, you found the faucet wouldn’t turn off. It’s had a slow drip ever since and you’re about to go crazy.

Faucetmag.com sympathizes, saying, “There is nothing more annoying than having a leaky kitchen faucet in your home. There is a reason they used water torture in ancient times for interrogation and that is because the steady drip of water that was used during this process would make someone so crazy they would confess everything.”

Faucetmag.com adds that it’s wise to get dripping faucets fixed as soon as possible, not only for your sanity but because the dripping water “can do damage to the surrounding wood support structure which can be very costly to repair. Let’s not forget too that even just a steady drip of water can add up to a lot of money on your water bill over time.”

Many times, a dripping faucet is a fairly simple DIY fix. But, as faucetmag.com warns, that, although similar, no two faucets are exactly alike so it might take a bit of searching to find instructions or other information on your particular faucet before you run out and buy parts.

If you’re thinking there must be a simpler solution, there is. Just call the plumbing experts at Billy the Sunshine Plumber. Billy the Sunshine Plumber can help you with that dripping faucet, or with any other leak or plumbing problem.

When you need help fixing a leaky kitchen faucet, call the leak repair pros at Billy the Sunshine Plumber.

After you got back from the presentation on Native Americans yesterday, you began fiddling around in the kitchen trying to figure out what to fix for dinner. That’s when you notice some water at the base of the kitchen faucet. You didn’t pay much attention to it at the time. You simply sopped it up with a sponge and went about your business. But this morning, the water was back.

It appears you have a leak coming from the base of your kitchen faucet.

That’s not unusual. As sfgate.com points out, “A kitchen faucet gets a lot of use. It gets used many times a day and many ways, such as to wash your dishes, get a drink, wash your food, and fill pots with water for cooking, just to name a few. Over time, the rubber washers and O-rings that create a watertight seal can deteriorate and cause the kitchen faucet to leak and puddle around the base. Disassembling the faucet and replacing the O-rings can stop your leaks and add years to your faucet.”

That’s generally not a complicated task whether you have a rotary ball faucet or a cartridge-type faucet. But it does require a certain amount of strength to turn the screws and some tools and supplies (hex key set, silicone-based grease, and replacement O rings and washers) that you might not have on hand. Rather than go out and buy supplies, it’s easier to call for help. That’s especially true when help is nearby – just call the leak repair experts at Billy the Sunshine Plumber.

Sometimes it’s hard to spot a leak from your faucet.

You were rinsing dishes at your kitchen sink when Clearwater’s July 4 fireworks show began. You cut off the water and rushed out to the deck to “ooh” and “aah” with your family and friends. When you got back to the sink, you noticed a small puddle of water by the base of the faucet. You shrugged it off, but after thinking about it, you’re wondering if your faucet is leaking.

You could be right. Thespruce.com says that you most obviously have a leaky faucet when you can see water dripping from the faucet. But, just because you don’t see drips, it doesn’t mean you don’t have a faucet leak.

“A leak around the base of the faucet, where the faucet body meets the sink, is not quite as obvious since users are constantly splashing water around the sink deck and base of the faucet. But if you frequently see puddling water on the sink deck around the faucets, you may have a leak in this area. In these situations, the leaking occurs only when the faucet is turned on,” the spruce.com says. “To check for this kind of leak, start by drying up all the standing water on the sink. Then, turn the water on (both handles if it’s a double-handle sink), and look carefully for water seeping around the base of the faucet.”

If you do have a leak, it’s likely either a dried up or cracked O ring. If not that, thespruce.com, says it could be a worn inner valve cartridge.

If you’re not sure whether you have a leaky faucet, or any other kind of leak, you can always call the leak detection experts at Billy the Sunshine Plumber for help. If you know you have a leak and it’s beyond your ability or desire to fix, call Billy Sunshine.

When you have a leaky faucet and can’t figure out how to fix it, call the leaky faucet plumbing pros at Billy the Sunshine Plumber for help.

You were planning on going to see the manatees at Crystal River today but you think that you’re going to end up sitting at home waiting for a plumber. Your new kitchen faucet is leaking – well, it has been leaking ever since you installed it a couple of weeks ago – and you’ve finally admitted you need professional help. Trouble is, you don’t want to sit at home all day waiting for a plumber to show up.

It’s not surprising that you have a leaking faucet. Faucet leaks are one of the most common plumbing problems. In some cases, according to faucetfix.com, the trouble can be traced back to poor installation.

“Many faucet problems can be traced back to the installation itself. Wanting to take matters into your own hands with a DIY approach is all well and good, and you can accomplish a lot if you take things slowly and read the instructions. However, if you just rip open the packaging and try to piece together your new faucet like a puzzle, you could easily miss something, lose a piece, or install it wrong. In the end, the poor installation ends up being a cause of big problems down the road, like weak water pressure and leaks,” faucetfix.com says. “When it comes to faucets, preventive measures are as important as anything, and it all starts with installation.”

Of course, it might not be the installation. It might be a worn or bad O ring or other part that has worn out or is defective.

If you’ve decided you need professional plumbing help, the trusted Tampa Bay plumbers to call are at Billy the Sunshine Plumber. Billy Sunshine has been the reliable go-to plumber in Pinellas, Pasco, Hernando and Citrus counties since 1924. Billy the Sunshine Plumber has fixed a lot of leaky faucets in that time.

As for waiting for Billy. Don’t worry. Go ahead and see the manatees. Call Billy when you get home. Billy is here 24/7/365 so he’s available at your convenience.
