1. Kitchen faucet leaks are not fun

Most kitchen cabinets are made of composite material which does not do well with water or moisture. The big problem with kitchen faucet leaks is that if the water is able to penetrate into the cabinets, the cabinets will warp and lead to very costly repairs. For this reason, it is important to address kitchen faucet leaks as soon as possible. 

Additionally, sometimes the kitchen subfloor was not waterproofed. If the water is able to penetrate the subfloor, this could lead to a safety hazard as well as costly repairs. In order to repair the subfloor, everything that is resting on it (including tile, cabinets, appliances, etc.) needs to be removed.

Common faucet issues

Damaged Cartridge
If your faucet has two different handles, one for cold and the other for hot water, this is a cartridge faucet. The cartridge is a valve that controls water flow. If the faucet is leaking when the handles are turned off, this can be due to a worn or damaged cartridge.

Broken Washers
Washers are located where the valve sits and can get worn down over time due to friction. Worn washers can then cause leaks. If the washer is not the correct size or not installed correctly it may also cause a leak.

Water Pressure
Sometimes water pressure is too great and is able to push through the seals in a faucet. If the faucet drips only during certain times or if the handles are move in a certain way it could be because of the water pressure.

Bad O-Rings
The o-ring is attached to the stem screw that keeps the faucet handle in place. O-rings can deteriorate over time due to friction or simply grow loose from use. This is most likely the case if a handle is leaking.

Worn Valve Seat
A deteriorated valve seat will usually cause a leak from the spout. It connects the spout to the faucet. Usually this happens when the valve seat is corroded enough to cause a leak.
