In Rabbit Creek Estates, we see a lot of homes with beautiful kitchens and bathrooms — but that doesn’t stop the faucets from leaking, grinding, or breaking down at the worst times.
The problem? Most people wait too long to fix them… because of a few common myths.
At Adams Plumbing & Drain Company, we’re here to clear things up. If you’ve been putting off a faucet repair, here are the biggest myths that might be costing you money (and water).
❌ Myth #1: “It’s Just a Drip — No Big Deal.”
Actually?
That drip can waste more than 3,000 gallons a year — even if it’s slow.
In homes on septic systems, it can overload the tank. On city water, it racks up on your bill. Either way, it’s not “just a drip.”
❌ Myth #2: “It Only Leaks When I Use It — So It’s Fine.”
If a faucet only leaks when the water is on, that usually means there’s a worn seal or bad compression washer.
It’ll only get worse — and could lead to a burst or a leak under the sink that you don’t catch until the cabinet’s soaked.
We’ve seen this one a lot in Rabbit Creek Estates — especially in laundry rooms and guest baths.
❌ Myth #3: “I Can Just Tighten It a Bit More.”
Over-tightening can:
- Crack the faucet body
- Strip internal threads
- Break seals that were otherwise fine
A faucet should be snug, not cranked down.
If something’s loose or leaking — it needs repair, not muscle.
❌ Myth #4: “Faucet Repairs Are Too Expensive.”
In most cases? A faucet repair from Adams Plumbing & Drain Company is:
- Quick (often under an hour)
- Affordable (cheaper than water damage)
- Backed by our workmanship guarantee
Sometimes it’s as simple as a new cartridge or supply line.

- Handles
- Aerators
- Cartridges
- Supply lines
- O-rings
…without touching your sink, granite, or backsplash.
