🚱 The Hidden Cost of a “Small” Leak
That rhythmic “drip… drip… drip…” may not seem urgent, but it can cost you more than you think. According to the EPA, a faucet dripping at a rate of one drop per second can waste over 3,000 gallons of water per year—that’s equivalent to 180 showers.
In Tampa, where utility costs can add up, this can translate into hundreds of dollars in wasted water each year. More importantly, that leak could be a warning sign of underlying plumbing issues waiting to escalate.
🔎 Common Causes of Faucet Leaks
-
Worn-out washers or O-rings: These small parts degrade over time.
-
Corroded valve seats: Especially common with older homes in Tampa. -
Loose or damaged seals: Often caused by high water pressure.
-
Improper installation: DIY fixes or unlicensed work often cause bigger issues down the line.
At Cass Plumbing, we don’t just stop the leak—we diagnose the root cause. Our expert plumbers inspect the entire fixture to ensure long-term reliability.
💥 The Domino Effect: What a Drip Can Become
What starts as a tiny leak can lead to:
-
Water stains on cabinets and countertops
-
Rotting wood and mold growth under sinks
-
Pipe corrosion and burst risks
-
Decreased home value due to water damage
Humidity in Tampa accelerates these effects. The moist environment makes homes more vulnerable to mildew and mold, which not only cause structural damage but can also affect your health—especially if you or your loved ones have asthma or allergies.
