Frequently Asked Plumbing Questions Answered

Let's make 2015 a year free of unanswered questions. Where to start? Plumbing, of course. The foundation of our living conditions.

5 frequently asked plumbing questions include the following:

How long does it take to install a faucet?
The challenge really comes with removing the old one. Once complete, installation with the proper tools can take about an hour. If it seems like it's out of your league, call a plumber.

Can a two-handed faucet be replaced with a single?
Most mounting hardware allows you to replace a two-handed faucet with a single model. If that is not the case, however, you can add a deck plate which provides attractive covering for your faucet.

What's the best type of faucet for a kitchen?
Both convenient and clean, a great faucet to install is a hands-free MotionSense faucet. Just a wave of the hand will turn it on and when motion discontinues it turns off. Conservative use of water as well!

How should I clean my faucet?
Keeping your faucet dry of excess water at all times is ideal for minimizing mineral deposits. To remove hard water stains, try a natural cleaner - half white vinegar, half water.

Why does a faucet leak or drip?
There are a variety of reasons your faucet could be leaking - none of which should be ignored. An internal piece might need replacing or re-positioning. A good plumber will do the trick.
