For years, I put up with a leaky faucet. Every time I used my garden hose, it would leak at the faucet. It was an old, temperamental Victorian spigot and I simply couldn't be bothered to fix the problem. I must have wasted a lot of water and added pointless money to the water bill.
Worst of all, it was an easy issue to fix - a lot easier than fixing a garden hose. After speaking to expert plumbers, I've found that leaky faucets are almost always the result of a single, simple issue.
