During today’s visit, we inspected the internal parts of the faucet to determine the cause of the issue. The faucet uses an older internal valve stem that is no longer manufactured. Because of the age of the faucet, replacement parts are very difficult to find and repairs would be unpredictable, with a high risk of continued leaking or Future failure. For this reason, repairing the existing faucet is not recommended, and faucet replacement would be the most reliable long-term solution. In addition, we evaluated the Home’s water heater and noted that it is approximately 20 years old. While it is currently operating, water heaters of this age are well beyond their typical life expectancy and may begin to fail without warning. Due to his age, there is an increased risk of leaks or loss of hot water, and proactive replacement should be considered to avoid potential damage or unexpected downtime. All findings and recommendations were reviewed with the homeowner, and options were discussed
