Steps to Fix the Leaky Faucet:
1. Turn Off the Water Supply:
Look for the shut-off valves under the sink and turn them clockwise until they’re fully closed. If you can’t find these, you may need to turn off the main water supply for your home.
2. Plug the Drain:
To avoid any small parts falling and getting lost down the drain, cover it with a plug or a towel.
3. Remove the Faucet Handle:
Depending on your faucet model, you may need a screwdriver to remove the handle. Carefully unscrew and set the handle aside.
4. Take Out the Cartridge or Valve Stem:
Using your adjustable wrench, remove the cartridge or valve stem. This is where you will typically find the worn O-ring or washer that’s causing the leak.
5. Replace the O-ring or Washer:
Take the old O-ring or washer to your local hardware store to ensure you get the correct size. Once you have the replacement, simply swap out the old part with the new one.
6. Reassemble the Faucet:
Put the cartridge or valve stem back in place, and then reattach the faucet handle.
7. Turn the Water Supply Back On:
Gradually turn the shut-off valves back on, and test the faucet to ensure the leak is fixed.
Final Thoughts:
Fixing a leaky faucet doesn’t have to be a massive ordeal. With these straightforward steps, you should be able to handle this common household issue with minimal effort and maximum efficiency. Not only will you save money on your water bill, but you’ll also gain the satisfaction of knowing you took care of it yourself.
