What causes air in water lines in house?
The main cause of air in the water lines is water system maintenance. Cutting off the water supply for a period of time can allow air to enter the system. (Running faucets briefly usually resolves this problem.) Maintenance work on the water main may also introduce air into your system.
Why does my kitchen faucet not come out?
Starting about a week ago, our kitchen faucet has exhibited some odd behavior. When you lift the handle for it, nothing comes out for a second. You can hear air or water flowing, but nothing comes out. Then, a second later, the water comes out. If you turn the water off and then on again soon thereafter, it works normally.
What causes water pressure to be too high for a faucet?
