Q: Is a leaking toilet bad?

• <div><p>Left unattended, a leaking toilet will eventually cause water damage or mold growth. If you&rsquo;re a homeowner, you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-make-a-water-leak-insurance-claim.htm">file an insurance claim for water damage</a>. However, that can be a long and tedious process; sometimes, your insurance company may not cover the damage. Therefore, it&rsquo;s always best to fix any leak you notice right away if you can.</p></div>

Q: What are the different levels of plumbers?

• <div><p>Plumbers start out at the apprentice level and then move up through the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/learn-level-your-plumbers-training.htm">different levels of plumbers</a> over their careers. After being an apprentice, plumbers move to journey-level and finally, plumbers who have met certain requirements for education and experience move up to master plumber. Most plumbers working on your home&rsquo;s plumbing will be journey-level plumbers.</p></div>

Q: Are wall-mounted faucets hard to fix?

• <div><p>Wall-mounted faucets aren&rsquo;t more difficult to fix than traditional ones, but plumbing problems will complicate your repair. If your plumber needs to access the plumbing lines, they&rsquo;ll have to open up the wall in your bathroom or kitchen. So once they finish fixing the issues, like a leak, you&rsquo;ll need to pay extra for drywall repairs.</p></div>

Q: What causes an outside spigot to leak?

• <div><p>That pesky faucet leak can have a few different causes, most of which are standard wear and tear that occurs over time, but that doesn&rsquo;t make it any less annoying, especially when the energy bill hits:</p><ul><li><p><b>Old washer: </b>A deteriorated washer or gasket is the most common cause of a leak. Luckily, it&rsquo;s easy and affordable to fix.</p></li><li><p><b>Old packing nut: </b>There&rsquo;s a chance the packing nut (located beneath the handle) is loose and simply needs tightening, or it has been worn down, stripped, and needs to be replaced.</p></li><li><p><b>Freezing temperatures:</b> The water sitting in your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/freeze-proof-faucets.htm">spigot over winter can freeze</a>, expand, and lead to damage and leaks.</p></li><li><p><b>High water pressure: </b>High water pressure is hard on pipes over time and can cause cracks and leaks, too.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>
