How do I fix a dripping faucet?

Answer by  dhd (93)

Usually, this is caused by a worn-out washer. Remove the handle and packing nut, extract the stem and replace the washer, then reassemble it in the same order.

To fix a dripping faucet is a common problem all you have to do is replace the washer or repair the seat. A steady drip can waste $20 to 25 dollars.

to fix you have to turn off the water mains first, turn the tap on so that all of the water is gone and then simply replace the gasket by taking of the tap handle.
