Can you shower if the sump pump isn’t working?

• <div><p>You shouldn’t shower while a sump pump isn’t working. Although household wastewater isn’t supposed to go into the sump pit, it’s best to wait to shower until your sump pump is running properly and able to move excess water out of the basement. If you need to shower when the sump pump isn’t working, aim for a short shower.</p></div>

Q: What is the most common cause of a leaky tub faucet?

• <div><p>Worn-out rubber washers or O-rings are some of the most common <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/water-dripping-faucet.htm">causes of a leaky tub faucet</a>. These small rubber parts create watertight seals within the faucet. However, they can deteriorate over time because of mineral deposits and water pressure. If you have a cartridge-style faucet, a cracked or damaged cartridge can also be the culprit. Regular use of the handles wears down these faucet parts, and they eventually start allowing water to seep through and create a drip. </p></div>

Q: Do wall-mounted faucets splash?

• <div><p>A well-installed wall-mounted faucet shouldn&rsquo;t splash. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s worth hiring someone with experience installing wall-mounted faucets. Beyond the installation, you should carefully choose the right faucet and sink combination. If your sink splashes after installation, you can try installing an aerator, which lowers the amount of water coming out of the faucet.</p></div>
