A laundry faucet is a device used to fill and empty a laundry machine.

Think of the washer as a large bucket with water in it. Next to that bucket, for convenience’s sake, is the faucet – this moves the flow of water from one part of the house into that bucket; then out again when you turn it off.

The process takes quite a while because you are moving such huge quantities of water, so there is usually a pressure hold-down valve on the way down. And you can slow or stop or pause without waiting for all that weighty fluid which is going in mega fast to come out at once and really slosh everywhere because gravity sucks! 

Over time the washers and hardware inside a laundry faucet can become worn or broken and need to be replaced.

You can save on upfront costs by replacing the two washers and the packing hardware, which is in charge of keeping water from running when you are not using it.

You can replace these yourself. However, hiring a plumbing expert is highly recommended.

Leaking laundry faucet repair is part of leaking investigation and repair provided by Wrench It Up plumbing and mechanical.

Make sure the water is turned off at the cold water valve. If you cannot find it, turn all of them off and work your way back, or use a stop watch for 5 minutes to see if the leak stops after that.

Remove any visible debris with pliers or long-nose needle nose pliers to avoid damage to the faucet seal.

Use sealant on any exposed threads before tightening hose nuts.

Reattach hoses and reopen valves slowly by hand to allow excess pressure out of lines before fully opening ballcock(s) locknuts or hydraulic lever(s).
