Faucets, Showerheads and Bathtubs#
Sink faucets, bathtub faucets and showerheads can also be the source of leaks. To find a leak:
- Check every faucet in your home to see if there is a slow drip.
- Check under and around sinks for wet spots, a musty smell or bowed cabinetry.
- Fix a dripping faucet by replacing the washers.
