Run-down parts: although there are many reasons why a faucet might be dripping, this is one of the most common.

If you have an annoying drip, it’s most likely that you need to replace the washer inside the faucet. The seals inside the faucet can also get worn down over the years due to the pressure in the faucet, so it’s a good idea to check on the condition of those as well.

Another type of faucet known as a ball faucet could leak, however ball faucets do not carry washers, they use an O-Ring. The O-Ring could loosen over time or become damaged. Replacing the O-Ring could solve the problem.

The cartridge is another part that could fail and cause a leak or drip. The cartridge is a part that moves the handle in an up/down motion. If the cartridge is damaged, you’ll notice water coming out of the faucet spout. Removing the existing cartridge and replacing it with a brand new one of an identical brand/model will solve the issue.

Pressure issues: faucets are made to operate at a regulated pressure. Too much pressure could cause the faucet to leak, so checking your PRV in your home can confirm whether the pressure needs to be adjusted to stop the leak.
