Prevent Leaks with Regular Faucet & Sink Maintenance
Routine plumbing checks help Aurora properties identify fixture issues early.
Faucets and sinks do not require annual certification, but routine inspection is valuable for homes, rental properties, restaurants, offices, hotels, multi-unit properties, and high-use commercial facilities.
| Task | Description | Typical Timing | Property Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Faucet inspection | Check for drips, loose handles, low flow, and valve wear | Annually or when symptoms appear | Helps prevent water waste and fixture failure |
| Under-sink leak check | Inspect supply lines, valves, drains, traps, and cabinet interiors | Periodically | Identifies hidden moisture early |
| Drain performance check | Review slow drains, odors, and recurring clogs | As needed | Supports reliable drainage |
| Shutoff-valve review | Check accessible valves for corrosion, leaks, and operation | During service visits | Helps prepare for future repairs |
| Fixture upgrade planning | Assess old or inefficient faucets and sinks | During remodels or maintenance planning | Supports long-term reliability |
Maintenance Tips
- Check cabinets beneath sinks for moisture, stains, odor, or warped materials.
- Repair persistent drips before they waste water and wear fixture components.
- Avoid overtightening faucet handles or forcing stuck shutoff valves.
- Schedule professional service for recurring drain clogs or visible corrosion.
- Consider efficient fixtures during kitchen, bathroom, or commercial restroom upgrades.
