How do you repair a dripping kitchen sink faucet?
November 20th, 2007 | by admin |desta asked:
I have never done any plumbing repairs before, but my kitchen sink faucet drips regularly unless I find the exact position for the Delta faucet handle. I hate to use the kitchen sink because it is such a hassle to turn it completely off. I don’t want to hire a plumber for something that I might be able to easily repair myself. Any advice?

it could be a bad washer ( the rubber ” O ” ring ) on the faucet or the seat which is the small metal piece on the bottom of the faucet but you need a seat remover tool to do that.
It’s really easy !
Go to Home Depo and they can show you how to fix it yourself.
Just remember to turn to water off !
