Fixing a leaky faucet yourself can save money and is easier than you think! Follow these simple steps:

Tools You’ll Need:

✔ Adjustable wrench
✔ Phillips & flathead screwdriver
✔ Replacement washers & O-rings
✔ Plumber’s tape

Step-by-Step Fix:

1️⃣ Turn Off Water Supply – Locate the shutoff valves under the sink and turn them off. Open the faucet to release remaining water.

2️⃣ Remove the Faucet Handle – Use a screwdriver to remove the handle’s screw (usually under a cap on top).

3️⃣ Take Out the Cartridge or Washer –

• If it’s a compression faucet, replace the rubber washer at the bottom of the stem.
• If it’s a cartridge faucet, pull out the old cartridge and insert a new one.

4️⃣ Check and Replace O-Rings – Worn O-rings often cause leaks. Replace them with a matching size.

5️⃣ Reassemble & Turn Water Back On – Reattach the handle, turn the water supply back on, and test for leaks.

🎉 Done! If the faucet still leaks, it might be time to replace the entire fixture.
