Wiggling faucets can be secured by tightening the mounting bolt(s) located underneath the sink. Sometimes a shim or wobble wedge can be used to prevent over-torquing or stripping the threads.

Stinky water can be addressed by adding an activated carbon filter in between your main water supply line and your hot water tank to remove the iron content that feeds the bacteria creating the smell.

Hard water deposits can be removed from your fixtures and shower doors by installing a water softening system. Not in the budget? You can mechanically or chemically remove scaling from your faucets by unscrewing the tip with your hand or an aerator key.

Leaky shower heads and challenging water temperatures can be helped by removing scale build-up. Unscrew the cover plate and clean or swap out the cartridge, same as the faucet aerator. If the cartridge does not come out easily, you will need a special tool to remove it. Most hardware stores carry model specific aerator keys, replacement aerators, cartridge removal tools and replacement cartridges in a spare drawer that collect over time.

Always be sure to note the original manufacturer or bring a picture with you to help ID the culprit.
