Here\u2019s why you should fix leaky faucets as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Wasted water:<\/strong> A slow drip of just three drops a minute wastes roughly 157 gallons of water per year. When you combine the leaky faucets in all U.S. households, more than one <em>trillion<\/em> gallons of water are wasted annually. Use this <a href=\"https:\/\/drinktap.org\/Water-Info\/Water-Conservation\/Drip-Calculator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">drip calculator<\/a> to find out how much your dripping faucet is wasting.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rising costs:<\/strong> Your water bills are liable to increase noticeably if your faucets leak. Fixing the leak is a surefire way to bring your costs back down.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Puddles, rust, and mold:<\/strong> Water puddles can form at the base of the faucet, around the sink drain, and on the cabinet floor below the sink. When exposed to excess water, metal components begin to corrode. Wood and other organic materials may rot or grow mold. These effects of a leaky faucet impact the appearance of your sink and cabinet, making your bathroom or kitchen look run-down. They can also present health hazards if left unchecked for too long.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition to these problems, leaky faucets can be annoying, making a relentless dripping sound that can disrupt your peace and quiet!

However, keep in mind that some leaks aren\u2019t so obvious. After all, not all faucet leaks come from the tap. Sometimes, the handle or the underside of the faucet drips water without raising any obvious red flags.<\/p>\n<p>If your water bills are inexplicably high, conduct this simple test to start figuring out if you may have a leaky faucet:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Read the numbers on your water meter.<\/li>\n<li>Refrain from using any water for two hours.<\/li>\n<li>Return to the meter to check it again.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If the reading has changed, that means you have a leak somewhere.
