A leaky faucet is a moderate home maintenance issue rather than an immediate emergency, but it should not be ignored. A single tap dripping at a rate of one drop per second wastes over 3,000 gallons of clean water annually, increasing your utility bills and accelerating mineral scale buildup around the spout. Addressing it promptly prevents more extensive wear on the valve seat. Verification: Measure the drip rate with a cup to estimate water loss while planning the repair.
