Installing a Faucet the Right Way: What Homeowners Should Know

Installing a faucet can seem very simple, but it definitely takes more than just screwing on a new fixture. Regardless if you are updating your sink, remodeling your bathroom to match your personal style or just replacing a leaking faucet, a proper installation makes a real difference in how it will hold up over time as well as the plumbing functions of the faucet.

Regardless if you are updating your sink, remodeling your bathroom to match your personal style or just replacing a leaking faucet, a proper installation makes a real difference in how it will hold up over time as well as the plumbing functions of the faucet.

When It’s Time for a New Faucet

Some choose a faucet based on looks, efficiency or water control. Others are looking to replace simply because their old one gave out. Signs you may see that indicate you need a new faucet are poor water pressure, handles that do not turn smoothly and corrosion near the base. In some instances the internal valve can wear down and some experience a slow leak that begins under the counter and ends up damaging cabinets and walls before you even notice. 

The Importance of Proper Installation

Installing a new faucet can seem pretty simple but each countertop, sink and water line setup for every home is different! Some factors to consider are mounting hardware, the compatibility of new faucet (function and fit) and water supply spacing. Something as small as tightening the connection too much or not enough can lead to leaks and/or damaged parts. 

Replacing Old Fixtures Safely

Removing your old faucet can be as tedious as putting in the new one. Worn out supply lines, mounting brackets that are hard to reach and nuts that are corroded can make a “simple” job into a time consuming quickly. Also, if your shut off valves have not been used in a while they might not even shut off or worse they could start leaking. 

When GEI Plumbing Services takes charge on replacing a faucet we ensure every step in the process is done safely. From removing the old unit safely and disposing of it, to making sure the mounting area is clean, installation of new water lines and testing for leaks ! We strive to ensure your new faucet is set up correctly and lasts long term.
