Many professional contractors and plumbers are familiar with faucets manufactured by Symmons Industries because they’re a popular choice for homes, multifamily buildings, hospitals, and businesses. But regardless of their construction, all faucets, no matter their quality, will need repairs or replacement parts at some point in their service lives. Here are some signs that your Symmons faucet needs some attention.

Squeaky Faucet

If you hear squeaking noises coming from the stem of your Symmons faucet, chances are, the threads are worn and need to be coated with plumber’s grease. Other sounds, such as a screeching noise, means you need to replace a worn-out rubber washer. Clanking or clinking sounds coming from the faucet could indicate damage to the pipes. If you can’t pinpoint the origin of the sound, you may need to disassemble the faucet and inspect it for cracks or damage in its individual parts.

Water Leaking Around Base

Most leaks of this type are caused by a worn cartridge, which can be repaired by replacing its O-rings. In some cases, a water leak around the base is an issue that can be remedied by removing the handle and tightening the adjusting ring. However, if the internal parts such as washers, screws, O-rings, or valve assembly are worn out, you will likely need to replace the faucet. These parts are available at plumbing supply stores that sell Symmons faucet replacement parts.

Unusual Water Flow

If there is water spewing out from your faucet in inconsistent ways, this is an indication of a damaged faucet. You may hear a sputtering sound along with the irregular water discharge. Generally, an unusual water flow is associated with a damaged diverter valve or faulty aerator. Check your local plumbing supply store for replacement parts.

Corroded Valve Seat

The valve seat is the connection between your faucet and its spout, and when it wears out, you may experience leaks from the faucet which can cost additional money on your water bill each month. Replace it if you see corrosion or mineral-deposit buildup.
