 Both bathroom sink & shower dripping!!!
Author: Marcinwv (WV)

I noticed the shower dripping a few weeks ago. Then the bathroom sink started to drip!! Never had this happen before. I've had some issues with the toilet flushing so could this be something with the main line outside??? Thanks!

It could be pressure related, as in a pressure reducing valve gone bad. It could be a water quality issue as in sandy gritty water chewing up the washers. Or it may be as simple as the washers just need replacing.

NO! You have two faucets that need to be repaired.

Let's have a look see............. You are witnessing the results of normal wear and tear on any plumbing product. Now you must determine the exact cause before you can resolve.

Last week I was driving my car and it sudden stopped running. It took awhile, but after careful research, I discovered that I was out of gas. I had ignored all the warnings and paid the price dearly.

Begin with one faucet. Remove the stems or cartridge to inspect. If you are not comfortable with this task... hire a licensed plumber. In the end, You will have peace of mind and plumbing that doesn't drip or leak.

Best Wishes

IF the faucet has a cartridge, there is seldom anything to "inspect". You replace it and see if that cures the problem.

Don't forget to fix the phantom flushing toilet also.
