How can I determine if my kitchen faucet needs to be repaired or replaced, and what are the steps involved in the repair process?
If your kitchen faucet is leaking, has low water pressure, or is constantly dripping, it may need to be repaired or replaced. To determine the best course of action, you can first try cleaning the aerator and checking for any visible damage. If the issue persists, you may need to disassemble the faucet to inspect the internal components for wear or damage. Depending on the severity of the issue, you may need to replace certain parts such as the cartridge, O-rings, or seals. If the faucet is old or extensively damaged, it may be more cost-effective to replace it entirely. Remember to turn off the water supply before starting any repair work.
