My tenant just knocked on my door 30 minutes ago with a fairly large leak... I watched this... went to true value and fixed it all in 30 minutes! Thanks for the help! 🙂
Knock knock sir I have a leak again
Thank you . I’m a 77 year old lady and was able to fix leak

I fixed my sink with your help! Considering it's taken my super two+ months to get back to me about my stove hood fan sounding like a machine gun, I went to RUclips instead of him for the sink problem. And RUclips definitely provided, yours was the first recommended video, and I'm glad! I def wish I could give you more than a thumbs up, my man, you saved my sanity! Big thanks!
One in-between step to consider....when you pull the cartridge out there is an o ring on the bottom that may have been compressed too far, letting water pass. Cheaper than a whole cartridge but harder to get the correct size. But if you have an off brand or old faucet the store may not carry the cartridge for it. Just take the o ring or whole cartridge with for sizing.
thanks for sharing!
You could always cast one in plastic and then use that to cast new rubber ones in the future yourself :)
Thank you!! Had a plumber in a while back and After that it’s been leaking-I’m thinking he didn’t tighten that enough!!! If that hadn’t happened here I would have never known that it could be just tightening something! Thank you so much
I bought a new kitchen faucet because the old one had a sprayer that was no good and I tried to repair the sprayer and couldn't. The sprayer connection to the faucet was very specific...the push to connect type and for some reason I could not buy the sprayer itself and trying to repair the sprayer itself was a nightmare. So I caved in and bought a whole new faucet with a new sprayer. After installing the new faucet, I had this exact problem. Hot water side would leak when fully closed. However, if you turned the hot water control slightly on, it would stop leaking. I did exactly what you did in this video but I pulled the cartridge completely out. I was worried that I wasn't going to get the cartridge back in but I got it and tightened the nut. It fixed the problem! That was all thanks to this very video. A little guidance from people in the know goes a very long way. Thank you a ton!
The vinegar was a good idea. Tightening it didn’t work. I’m took apart the cartridge and let it soak in vinegar for 10 minutes. Put it back together and it works now. Thanks
Thank you! Because of your site, I realized my faucet handles were screwed on too loosely so were inadvertently not being turned off all the way each time. It explained why sometimes it didn't leak & sometimes it did! Thanks again. Had just recently replaced both cartridges!
It worked! Holy smokes! I thought this was going to be a major overhaul and probably mean replacement of this faucet. I live in a house that was built in 1959 and I'm pretty sure the sink and the plumbing are original. If not they're still at least 40 or so years old. It went from a steady drip to now a drip every minute or so. I'm probably still going to need to replace it at some point, but this helps stem the serious waste of water (and my community is under water restrictions right now because of a major forest fire that has wrecked our watershed). Thank you so much for this video!
Thank you very much. I would pay $350 for fixing if not seen your video. I fixed it for $4.84. You guys doing an awesome job.
Sweeeeeet. :)
Hahaha! I got it right the first time. My husband couldn't believe it cause he always says, "those RUclipsrs don't know shit"... fucker! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much you saved me at a minimum $75 for the cheaper kind of faucet such as you showed on your website I had the same kind of faucet which my wife prefers to the single handle type and figured I'd have to buy a new one but thought I would try the RUclips to see if there was a repair it was so easy my problem was I hadn't been able to spot that little allen wrench socket underneath the actual turning part of the faucet and so when I did and unscrewed it I had a slightly different type of set up than you have but it was still so easy a 1-minute fix as you had said and I had it all back together again in no time and not a single leak and I thank you from the bottom of my heart and after reading some of the mean comments that you got I just can't believe what this world is coming to the type of people we have in here and you are certainly amazing and and the like one of the commenters said you have them a clear voice a very good video and it was excellent thank you so much
Are you joking what was wrong with the faucet valve.? He did not mention that
Great video!! I follow the steps to check my leaking faucet cartridge before going to the store, just tightened and leak is gone.
Great video. Very helpful and informative to someone that has never done this.
Talk about saving money thanks homie
On my case I felt around inside ring where cartridge seats.
There was a burr maybe water deposit, even felt like metal.
I used a standard head screwdriver to smooth out around inside ring.
Replaced everything, took off screen so whatever I knocked off would clean out.
All worked, no leak.
Good video
That hex shaped thingy (often called an Allen screw) will be lost down the drain unless you put the stoppers in both drains or cover them with dishrags.And it's best to turn off both water feeds.
Can confirm. Just turned my kitchen into a slip n slide on accident😂
First rule of plumbing is to turn off the water before grabbing any tools haha
I always put a towel flat in the sinks just so I don't lose parts down the drain. The one minute fix will turn into 2 hours knowing me.
Awesome sauce! Mines been dripping slowly for a while. Thanks so very much!!!
This helped me so much. No broken parts just needed to be tightened inside. Thank you!
Well I spoke too soon. It was leaking from under the handle and now it's leaking from the faucet... ugh
I'm heading into the kitchen right now! Thanks so much for posting!
Perfect. Took me less than 10 minutes to fix my issue! Thank you!
Just took your advice and it worked like a charm!
He did fine. Helped me out perfectly. Thanks for the help. Fixed my tap with your advice.
Had a leaky faucet now for about 2 weeks - got tired of it, and checked You Tube - clicked on your Channel, went back to the kitchen and did what you said. Result: no more dripping (and wasted water), situation restored. Thank you - I was using bottled water to wash my dishes... Thank you very much - things are now so much better because of you. Thanks!
You could have just turned the water off with the valve under the sink when you needed water not use bottled water to wash the dishes sorry but my father taught me many things when I was a young boy .
Thank you! Your video helped me fix my faucet and save me from buying a new one! 👏🏻👏🏻
This worked so well! I just wiped down the area under the know rhen reseated the o ring and it's not leaking anymore. Thanks!
Thank you so much from a woman who likes plumbing, hooked up a commercial sink. Once hooked up there was a leaky faucet. Fixed it in no time thanks to you.
Thank you so much, you were right, just tightening that outer nut stopped the leak!
And I was glad I got away without having to replace the whole cartridge... that saved me from having to turn the water off underneath, which was great because some of those old valves under there sometimes leak after messing with them.
Thanks bro. Saved me $100 and saved me from angry wife as well.
Thanks! It looks a lot easier than I was expecting.
Thank you for the quick fix and easy to follow video! Worked like a charm!
Glad it helped!

AWESOME! Great video👍 Thanks for your help😉
Love this video, it's easy to follow. I was able to remove the screw with the Allen Wrench. My faucet looks the same as the one shown but the handle is not coming off. Any ideas?
I suggest a wrench vice pliers as the brass fittings are sensitive
thanks for the insight!
Thank you for a great video, good explanation and pic.
thanks for the demo and info, have a great day
Thanks, you too!

Super helpful, thanks!
Great. Just what I needed. So how do I know which handle to tighten? Thank you
My bathroom sink has been dripping for ages. On my tap, there’s a cap with a Philips head screw to remove it, but it should be the same under that. Going to take care of it after work today!
Thank you for this video! Just saved myself some 🤑🤑🤑
Worked and thank you so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏼🤯🤠🤑
great instructional video -- that you
Same exact faucet. Cant wait 2 try that when i get home. Thank u
I have same exact faucet but mine need cartridge replacement. Do you know the spec so i can buy one ...don;t know where to read out the spec.
I tighten mine up. It just slowed it down. I took the piece 2 home depot. They matched my piece.. I put the new one in. No more leaks
Thank you for your help
Well that was easy and it totally worked 😊
Thanks mate.
Thanks for your help
Thank you - I changed my aerator in my bathroom faucet. Now there is a bit of (small) leak of water when I run the faucet. It wasn't doing this before I changed the aerator? Thank you!
Very helpful.. thank you
Thank you!
Many explaination so much.make explaination shortly with continuing repair
Ok thank you very much
I'll try this!
This helped. Thanks.
I’m a single mom. This was a gawd send!! Tyty!
Great video! My bathroom Faucet, the hot water handle to close is counterclockwise , while the cold water handle is clockwise to turn off.... Is this right?
Great video !!!!
Thank you
Thank you it worked
That’s my faucet 😂need to go get drain covers from the garage ‘cause I would so drop that little bitty screw. Can’t wait to see if it fixes it, it’s a slow water torture going in in my house
Channel Locks are expensive but incredibly handy tool for doing valves. Slip lock might work but it will make you appreciate better tool.
Thank you so much
Thanks that worked
TY!👍💖
I fixed mine by spraying some silicone on the cartridge.
I like this guy
Does it work on wall mount faucets? New to all this and need mine repaired
I love this tutorial... But my screws are rusted on and broken, and my water was still coming through after turning the water off from below the sink... I think it's time to replace
At least this prompted me to turn off the water until I can work on it tomorrow! Why didn't I think of that! lol
😀
awesome dude, it works thanks
Glad it helped!
