    The Easy Way to Fix a Leaky Faucet

    Step 1: Turn off the water supply to your house and call a plumber if necessary.

    Step 2: Remove the aerator from the end of the faucet stem, then remove the aerator screw from its base on the sink countertop.

    Step 3: Remove all remaining packing from both ends of the spout by pulling them out and rotating them until they come loose.

    Step 4: Remove any remaining packing from inside of the spout by inserting a screwdriver into each end and turning it clockwise until it comes loose.

    Step 5: Remove the spout from the sink countertop by loosening the two mounting screws on either side of it.

    Step 6: Remove any remaining packing from inside of the spout by inserting a screwdriver into each end and turning it clockwise until it comes loose.

    Step 7: Snap a new gasket onto the stem of the faucet spout by sliding it down onto the spout threads a few turns at a time until it clicks into place.

    Step 8: Install the new faucet spout onto the sink countertop with its mounting screws.

    Step 9: Attach any remaining packing back into its original position at each end of the spout by rotating them clockwise until they click into place.

    If the Leak Keeps Coming Back - What You Should Do Next

    2. If the cause of the leak is still unclear, consult with a plumber/contractor or a professional plumber/contractor. They can help you figure out what needs to be done in order to fix your issue permanently.
