Why You Should Never Ignore a Dripping Faucet

That little drip from your faucet may seem harmless. It’s just a few drops, right? But over time, that steady drip can do more damage than you think—to your wallet, your plumbing, and even your peace of mind.

At Reed’s Remodeling, we’ve helped countless homeowners in Murfreesboro and across Rutherford County fix minor leaks before they became major problems. If you’ve been putting off a repair, here’s why now is the time to call a pro.


💧 How Much Water (and Money) Are You Wasting?

A faucet that drips once every second wastes over 3,000 gallons of water per year—that’s enough to fill 40+ bathtubs! Multiply that by your utility rates, and you’re throwing away real money every month.


🛠️ It Might Be a Sign of Bigger Trouble

A dripping faucet is often caused by a worn-out washer or seal, but it can also signal:

  • Water pressure issues

  • Corrosion in pipes or fittings

  • Valve damage deeper in your plumbing

  • Leaks that are already starting inside your walls

Ignoring it now could lead to much more expensive repairs later.


🦠 Moisture Breeds Mold and Mildew

Even a slow drip can create the perfect conditions for mold and mildew to grow—especially under sinks and behind cabinets. Left unchecked, this can affect your indoor air quality and even your health.


🧰 Fixing It Is Quick and Affordable

Most dripping faucets can be repaired in under an hour with the right tools and know-how. At Reed’s Remodeling, we offer affordable handyman and plumbing services designed to keep your home running smoothly without breaking the bank.
