If you have a leaky faucet in either the bathroom or the kitchen if you know the tap, is definitely out, more than likely a bad valve. This is a fairly simple task to achieve if the time and some tools. Note that water into the house is under pressure. You must disable or shut down water to make one of those activities.

There are two possible problem areas.

1) Under the sink against theWall should be two valve stations, that come from the wall or the floor. One thing is for hot, the other for cold. Determine whether the dripping hot or cold. Turn the valve (clockwise). If the drip-stop or continue? If the drop continues, that's the bad valve. First you must) on secondment to the shutdown of the water on the main street (usually outside the house and remove the angle stop to replace it. Take it to the hardware store and they fit well. The two areas with threadsTheir concern, they must match. When the dripping stops, when this valve is again switched off, the valve at the sink to the problem.

2) Under the "H" or "C" (hot or cold) to the sink, there is a valve that is with the knob or lever. When you remove the right valve cap, (dripping is hot or cold) you a screw that holds the valve in position noted. First, turn off the water. Under the sink is the hot and cold stop valve. When the right valve having disabledHere you can remove the screw and lift the valve to be replaced. Take advantage of this valve to the hardware and buy a replacement. If you have a single lever style faucet, it's the same procedure only one valve runs hot / cold.

Do you have a towel or cloth handy through this is a wet job. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is you're under the sink to do the work. I must warn you, if you have a leaky faucet in the shower or bath. This job requires special tools and alittle more knowledge, but I think you can do this too. Do a little research into it and then it can no longer so difficult.
