Your plumbing system is serious business, but there are some repairs that you can do yourself. Here at Schuelke Plumbing we want to serve you while also helping you to understand how to make small repairs yourself. Many people enjoy the 'do it yourself' process.
Leaky faucets are the most common plumbing problem you will encounter, and also the easiest one for you to take care of yourself. Ignoring the problem will not make it any better, and you will spend quite a bit of money as the water just goes down the drain. A leak in your hot water faucet also costs you money for the heating of that water.
The drip is caused by seepage from the water supply, so you must shut off the water supply to the faucet to get started. Now you will remove the faucet handle and look at the assembly. Next, remove the screw that holds the washer and see if the screw and stem need to be replaced. If this does not work, you will need to replace the entire faucet.
Call Schuelke Plumbing with any questions you may have about this process.
