Delta Faucets Repair – Dripping Faucet

This one is the most common, and requires a little bit of work. However, once you do this particular Delta faucets repair, it will be pretty easy. You’ll need to get an Allen wrench, and first take off the faucet itself. Then you’ll need to pry out the stem that is coming out of the surface of your sink. This may be tough, if it’s been a while since the faucet has been installed.

(Of course, make sure you turn the water off from under the sink before you start)

Once you pull this thing out, you’ll see a black gasket. Inside of that is the spring and the seal. Both will need to be replaced. To get replacement parts, you can either order them from Delta ahead of time, go to the hardware store and buy a Delta replacement part kit, or you can do what most guys do.

Take the old seal and spring down to the hardware store, show them to the guy working there, and tell them you need a new one. That should do the trick. Just make sure that nobody at home is going to use the sink before you get back. That might get messy.

Delta Faucets Repair – Low Water Pressure

This next Delta Faucets repair job is pretty simple, and absolutely free. You’ll need to take out the aerator from inside, clean it, and stick it back in. The aerator is that thing that makes the water all foamy when it comes out.

To take it out, just get to work with your Allen wrench, and take everything apart. Make sure the drain is covered, because otherwise you’ll be getting your big monkey wrench to take apart the drain, and your wife or girlfriend will laugh at you. (Trust me on this.)

Now we’re ready to get on with our Delta faucets repair.

Just take out the aerator, and soak it in vinegar (or scotch) and spray it with some hot water (use the shower for this) and stick it back in. You can drink the scotch when you are finished, just don’t let your wife see you. (Trust me on this).

Now you’re good to go. Just make sure not to tell you friends, because they’ll call you whenever they get a leaky faucet.

Congratulations, your Delta faucets repair trip is over.
