If your faucet is dripping or squeaking, it usually just needs to be repaired. Of course, there are other determining factors to consider like how old it is, whether your home has hard water and the cost to repair it.
When is time for a faucet replacement? The determining factors are primarily, the age of the faucet, how many times it’s already been repaired, and if it is it damaged.
Faucets are built to last forever and tend to break down over time. So the older it is, the less likely a repair will be all you need. If your home runs on hard water, this too will cut down on the lifespan of your appliance.
