How to fix a dripping Water Tap
A dripping water tap is often caused by a worn out rubber gasket at the bottom of the tap valve assembly. Repairing the gasket will cost you less than changing the entire tap assembly. Try these easy steps in repairing your water tap:
1. Close the main valve that supplies water from your water line. In doing this, you do not risk yourself of getting wet while doing your repairs.
2. Open the tap and collect all remaining water. Use a wrench to open the valve assembly. Turn the assembly in a counter clockwise motion.
3. Check the rubber gasket if it is worn out. It is found at the bottom and is attached with a screw. Check your faucet aid for replacement. Select the right size of rubber gasket and attach it to the tap assembly.
