FIX LEAKY FAUCET---YOU CAN DO IT !---SO EASY--HERE'S HOW !

A leakey faucet is the most common household plumbing headache and to fix it is ever so easy. I will show you how easy it is to fix a leaky faucet yourself and in the process save a large sum of money. No need to call in a plumber who will charge you an exorbitant amount of money for fixing your leaky faucet. A plumber's hourly rate will run between $85.00 to $100.00 per hour and his time starts when he leaves his shop and ends when he returns from your faucet repair. This is called a portal-to-portal service charge.

It will take you all of about thirty (30) minutes of your time in fixing a leaky faucet. Best of all, no special skills, tools or material are needed.

A leaking faucet can loose thousands of gallons of water a year. This is literally money down the drain.

The additional cost for the water lost is only a part of the extra money it will cost you, as your sewer bill is based on the amount of water you use. So you see, a leaking faucet can be quite expensve.

Put a stop to losing all that money and fix a leaky faucet yourself , I know you can do it and I will show you just how easy it really is.

      There are four basic types of faucet design, Ball, Cartridge, Disc and Compression. The ball, cartridge and disc faucets are all known as washer-less faucets. 

     The Compression design is mostly used in double handled faucets with washers and seals that eventually wear out and must be replaced.  The compression style faucet is the one commonly found in residential structures.

I have inserted a step-by-step video below that is less than 3 minutes long that shows you in detail how to replace a washer and stop the leak.

After viewing this video you will be convinced that you can do it and fix that leaky faucet yourself. By doing so, you will have saved a substantial amount of money.

    Now that you watched the video and saw how really easy it is to fix a leaky faucet, you are all excited and want to get started on that repair right away.  First let's make sure you have all the tools and material ready to complete the job.

     You saw in the video that a new flat rubber washer was used to replace the worn out washer that was causing your faucet to leak.

     A new type of washer is on the market that is designed to permanently replace the traditional rubber washer.  

DripStop replaces old-fashioned compression washers, nearly every size and shape. DripStop comes in just four sizes and works in all major indoor and outdoor faucet brands.

DripStop uses a faucet's own internal water pressure to stop leaks and create a watertight seal. It seals on the interior of faucet's seat and never makes contact with sharp metal surface.
