Faucets and fixtures are kitchen and bathroom elements that regulate water flow, temperature, and delivery, including shower heads, valves, vanity faucets and bowls, kitchen and laundry sinks, tub sprays, and drains. Ensuring proper function is critical to preventing water damage, energy efficiency, and comfort.
Optimal
Faucets and fixtures are leak-free, deliver strong and consistent water pressure, and have no visible wear or damage. Handles and valves operate smoothly. Drains work efficiently. Regular maintenance ensures smooth operation, clean aerators, and an attractive appearance.
Cautionary
Minor leaks, slightly reduced water pressure, or moderate drainage. Handles may be loose or stiff, and the fixture may show minor wear. These issues require attention to prevent them from worsening into more serious problems.
Hazardous / Out of Range
Significant leaks, very low water pressure, broken handles or valves, or major drainage issues. These conditions create risks for water damage, mold growth, or further fixture deterioration, requiring immediate repair or replacement.
