Plumbing

So on the upstairs bathroom faucet today the cold water suddenly won’t shut completely off; I have no real idea why, other than the faucet valve isn’t closing all the way, or perhaps something’s jammed in there? At any rate, I turned off the cold water under the sink and have been pondering taking the faucet apart or if we should instead just call a plumber.

    I’m guessing you could fix it. Is it just a leaky faucet or more than that? After skipping a dozen link farm results on Google, I found this snippet:

    "Faucets usually leak because of old gaskets or 0-rings and corroded valve seats."

    So take it apart and check it out!

    Doesn’t seem to be more than just a leaky faucet–there’s nothing going on under the sink at the valve or anything–so it should be fairly easy.

    Thanks for the snippet. "Link farm results," I like that. 🙂
