• Discussion Fanatics

    You may have low pressure at the faucet because a valve is partially closed somewhere else in the house, perhaps because someone was doing plumbing repairs. The low pressure may also be the result of mineral deposits in the pipes. A more troublesome cause of low water pressure is a leaking or burst pipe.

  • Discussion Fanatics

    If the pipe isnt leaking from anywhere and the water still isnt coming out of your faucet, then the reason for the problem might be clogged pipes. Sediment buildup can restrict the flow of water through your pipes. Eventually, sediment buildup causes the same pressure and flow problems that leaks or dents usually do.

    Also, why do faucet cartridges fail? Usually, cartridge faucet woes mean that the rubber O rings inside the faucet have worn out, or that passages within the cartridge have become clogged. To do this, find the two shutoff valves beneath the sink that control the plumbing leading to the faucet. Turn the valves clockwise to close them.

    Just so, what to do if water stops working?

    What To Do When Your Water Wont Work

    1. Try Another Faucet.
    2. Try Cold Water.
    3. Check Your Water Main.
    4. Call Your Water Company.
    5. Check For a Stuck Valve.
    6. Check For Leaking or Denting.
    7. Unclog the Pipes.

    Can a faucet go bad?

    Faucets last for years, but they dont last forever. If the internal parts go bad, the valves may not open completely, resulting in low water pressure. You can get spare parts for most faucets if you know the exact make and model, but its usually a better idea to replace the entire fixture.
