How Do You Fix A Leaky Shower Faucet?

0

Do you have a leaky shower faucet? Did you know you could lower you water bill if you fixed it? The best part is that it’s pretty easy to do and relatively inexpensive to do it. Turn off your water at the water main. If you’re not sure where it is, call your water company. You shouldn’t need any tools to do this. As a guideline, you will want to turn the shutoff valve handle so that it is perpendicular with the water line. Release the water pressure in your water line. Just turn on the faucet and wait a few minutes. Remove the faucet paying close attention to how you took it apart. Analyze the faucet. Find the rubber O rings and see if they need replaced. They are pretty easy to spot. You know… the rubber things that are in the shape of the letter O. They need to be replaced if they don’t feel rubbery when you try to bend them. Also, if they are leaving a colored residue on your hands then it’s probably a good idea to replace them. Take the rubber O rings with you to a hardware store
