How to Fix a Leaking Kitchen Faucet
Posted by JohnDoe on Sep 14, 2025 at 10:32 AM

I've been dealing with a constant drip from my kitchen faucet. I tried tightening the handle, but it didn't help. Any suggestions on what might be causing this and how to fix it?

The most common cause is a worn-out washer. Shut off the water supply, disassemble the faucet, and replace the washer. If you’re not comfortable doing this, consider calling a professional.

If the faucet has a cartridge, the issue might be a damaged O-ring. Replacing the cartridge can solve the leak. Also, check the supply lines for any signs of corrosion.
