Is that incessant drip, drip, drip of a leaky faucet driving you up the wall? Don't worry, this is usually something you can fix yourself in under an hour, even if you don't have a lot of home improvement experience. Even better, you can usually replace the worn-out part and stop the leak for under $50—much cheaper than calling out a professional plumber. Taking the handle apart is pretty much the same regardless of the type of faucet you have, but then the fix will differ somewhat depending on whether you have a cartridge, ceramic disk, or compression handle. | Is that incessant drip, drip, drip of a leaky faucet driving you up the wall?

A leaking shower is a problem you don't want to ignore, because water damage can wreak havoc on your home. Luckily, many common causes of shower leaks can be easily fixed. If your showerhead is leaking, you can clean it and reseal it. A leaking shower faucet will take a little more work to repair, but the problem can usually be fixed by replacing the faucet cartridge. Leaks around the faucet plate or shower seals can usually be taken care of with a quick application of caulk or plumber's putty. | |||
