Stop the Drip: How We Fixed a Leaky Bathroom Faucet with a Supply Line Upgrade

A reminder that leaky faucets and faulty plumbing connections are more than just a minor inconvenience

Leaky faucets and faulty plumbing connections are more than just a minor inconvenience—they can lead to water damage and costly repairs if left unaddressed. Recently, we were called in to replace leaking supply lines for a bathroom faucet. Here's a closer look at the process and why it’s essential to address such issues promptly.


The Problem: Worn-Out Supply Lines

Upon inspection, we identified the source of the leak—worn-out supply lines under the bathroom sink. These flexible, braided metal hoses connect the faucet to the water supply valves, ensuring smooth water flow. Over time, wear and tear, combined with high water pressure, can cause them to fail.

The Solution: New Braided Steel Supply Lines

We replaced the old, leaking supply lines with high-quality braided stainless steel hoses. Known for their durability and flexibility, these supply lines are an excellent choice for ensuring long-term reliability in plumbing systems.

The process included:

  1. Shutting Off the Water : We started by turning off the water supply to prevent further leaks.

  2. Removing the Old Supply Lines : The worn-out hoses were carefully disconnected from the water supply valves and the faucet.

  3. Installing New Lines : The new braided steel lines were securely fastened, ensuring no gaps or loose connections.


The Results: Leak-Free and Reliable

Once the new lines were installed, we tested the system for leaks. Everything worked perfectly, and the bathroom sink was back to normal operation. Not only did we solve the immediate problem, but the homeowner now has a more robust plumbing connection for years to come.


Why Address Leaks Quickly?

Leaks might seem minor at first, but even small drips can waste gallons of water over time and lead to significant damage to cabinetry and floors. If you notice leaks under your sink, don’t delay—call a professional plumber to diagnose and resolve the issue promptly.
