Pumbing question

[hollysmom]

2. corrosion or improper installation combined with water pressure.

I do my own plumbing, I realized why, since it just cost me 300 dollars because I could not hold a wrench, ugh. must get hand better soon.
I don't think it could be water pressure alone or it would have blew off long ago. How new is the faucet? was the water pressure increase lately (by turning the valve to allow for more pressure)? If a cheap faucet is used, the metal will not be as strong as it used to be, that I why I always by quality faucets and do not cheap out on them. I lived in an apartment where the faucet went in under 10 years when the landlord replaced it with a cheap one. When I lived in a multifamily house, I had to instruct the panicked owner to call the fire department to turn off the water because the cellar was flooded and that was where the power line was as well, there was no way that I was going to wade in there to turn off the water. So if you can't reach the maintenance people , call the fire department.
