Repairing a leaky bathroom or kitchen faucet is generally not a hard job, but it is sometimes complicated by the fact that there are so many different faucet designs, each with different types of parts and requiring different repair methods. Many single-handle faucets use some form of interior ball or cartridge. Most of the time, fixing a leaky single-handle faucet is a fairly simple matter of replacing the faucet cartridge or replacing the ball or its parts. | Repairing a leaky bathroom or kitchen faucet is generally not a hard job, but it is sometimes complicated by the fact that there are so many different faucet designs, each with different types of parts and requiring different repair methods.

Leaking faucets typically need to have the cartridge replaced. On one side of the cartridge is fresh water waiting to be released into the spout, and on the other side is a nut that turns with the faucet handle to stop or open the water flow. Because the cartridge performs its job quite literally under pressure, over time, the fittings can weaken and begin to allow water to leak through, wasting up to 300 gallons a year according to Denver Water. Accessing the cartridge is easy to do, and you can fix a leak on a Glacier Bay kitchen faucet with just a few simple tools. | |||
