🛠️ Tip Tuesday Series: How to Prevent Leaky Faucets and Save Money on Water Bills

Welcome to **Tip Tuesday** at Wilbur and Son Services Spokane!

Each week, we will share practical, do-it-yourself tips to help homeowners like you keep your home in top shape.

Today, we’re tackling a common household issue: leaky faucets. Not only are they annoying, but they can also waste water and drive up your utility bills. Here’s a simple guide to prevent and address faucet leaks before they become a bigger problem.

### Why Leaky Faucets Matter

A single dripping faucet can waste up to 20 gallons of water per day!! That’s hundreds of dollars a year down the drain!

Plus, leaks can lead to water damage or mold growth if left unchecked. Catching them early is key to saving money and protecting your home.

Tip Tuesday:

3 Steps to Prevent Leaky Faucets

1. ) Check for Drips Regularly

Take a quick tour of your home’s faucets every month. Look and listen for drips, even small ones, in your kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room. Catching a leak early can prevent costly repairs.

*Pro Tip*

Place a piece of paper under the faucet overnight to spot tiny drips that might go unnoticed.

2.) Tighten Loose Connections

Many leaks start with loose or worn-out parts. Grab a wrench and gently tighten the faucet’s base or connections. If you’re comfortable, check the washers or O-rings inside the faucet—these often wear out over time. *Not sure how to do this? Our team at [Your Handyman Company Name] can inspect and fix it for you!*

3. ) Replace Old Fixtures

If your faucet is over 10 years old, it might be time for an upgrade. Modern faucets are designed to be more water-efficient and durable. Replacing an outdated fixture can stop leaks and lower your water bill. *Bonus*: New faucets can give your kitchen or bathroom a fresh, updated look!

When to Call a Professional

While some faucet fixes are DIY-friendly, persistent leaks or complex issues (like low water pressure or corrosion) may require a professional touch.
