Dripping faucets can be annoying and they waste water. Fortunately, fixing them usually doesn’t require replacing the entire faucet. Just some simple parts and some common tools will get the job done. The videos below cover some of the most common types of repairs.
Grandpa TJ: I’ve located videos which deal with many of the types of leaks you may run into at home. If you are handy with some simple tools and can get to a hardware store, these videos will give you enough information to get the job done for far less cost than a plumber.
