Sometimes in cold weather, you might have the type of faucet that drips automatically to keep any lines from freezing. You know how people say to leave your faucets drip during winter? Well, some faucets do that automatically on their own and then stop when the weather turns warm again. Anyway, the problem that you’re talking about, I’ve never had to deal with it before until the day came it happened to me for the first time ever. Now that I know why this happened, I’m glad to know I was in good company and this wasn’t just an isolated case. I don’t even know how common this is because it’s only happened to me once. Hopefully if it happens to anyone, it’s once in a lifetime!
I have a gold colored bathroom faucet that looks like that one. I took out the cartridge and looked closely at it, no cracks at all, I cleaned the bottom off with some CLR. Can it still be a bad cartridge, even though there aren't any cracks?
@@KAFKUBA Thank you, I found a tag on the cold water side that has a model number, because there is no name or logo on the faucet. Is it true that is the model number for the type of sink I have?
@@KAFKUBA I'm in the almost space position as you. Thank goodness no leaking yet but the valve won't shut the water 💦 off so had to manually close if with a screwdriver. What a pain plumbing.
@@KAFKUBA exactly my point! Open one valve and the entire thing colappses. They should teach every kid how to finance and plumb in school instead of all that useless crap haha.
Hopefully the water company will wave any extra cost caused by this failure because you shouldn't have to pay for something that wasn't your fault. If you have a water running issue and your bill skyrockets, perhaps you can call the water company and have them way that extra cost. If they don't, then I personally would have to say call whoever overseas the utility companies and maybe even get a hold of the news crew in your area along with your state resources outside of those.
I’m having this same issue but at random in the last two weeks on my dual vanity the hot water faucet stopped on one where no water comes out, then the 2nd hot water faucet would not stop running and now nothing comes out, this morning the cold water will not stop running and I only have one faucet left to use. Then there is a weird knocking or tapping sound downstairs in the kitchen behind the kitchen sink inside of the wall. 😩
You're in for some more hell eventually. That acordian tap isn't code, and you don't have the right fittings on it anyway. It's going to clog and leak. You really need to replace that whole drain from the p-trap on.
