I had this happen tonight. The hot water didn't want to shut off. Tomorrow I head to the plumbing store. These how to videos are very important to us first time home owners. Keep them coming. Thank you.

Thank you SO MUCH! We've been renting a house the past 5 years. Once a year, our tub faucet starts dripping, and within 2 weeks it is a bad stream. You wouldn't believe how much water comes out. We'd let our landlord know, and she'd send out her preferred plumbing company. The first year, they told us it was because we were squeezing too tight on the faucet. I said "Oh okay, we won't do that anymore." The second year they came out, they said the same thing. And kind of treated me like I was dumb for letting it happen again. They showed me the washer, how worn out it had been. I was surprised because, even though this is my kids' bathroom so I don't always know how tight it's being turned, it didn't really make sense that in one year it got worn out. The third year, they really started talking down to me. I live in a lower income neighborhood, so I'm not sure if they think people in my neighborhood are stupid or what, but he spoke to me like I was unable to comprehend what he was saying. I promised we'd only turn the knob lightly.

The fourth year, oh boy. He probably repeated the same thing to me about the faucet one dozen times, in the most condescending tone I've EVER been spoken to in my life. I've never been made to feel so small or stupid by anyone. He insisted that we were squeezing the faucet so tightly, that it was all our fault, that we didn't even try to be gentle, etc. I promised myself and my kids I would never let these plumbers in my house again, they tried to make us feel so small.

So last week when our faucet started leaking, I knew I needed to do something different. Your video saved the day!! Not only teaching us how to replace the washer, but showing us how if the seat is damaged you will have to keep replacing the washer. Guess what that plumber NEVER replaced? A damaged seat. It was his fault our washer kept wearing out. I knew it made no sense why every year, like clockwork, we had this issue. It all makes sense now. THANK

You, my dear, are a God-send. I am a widow with not enough money for a plumber . Thank you, thank you, thank

Thank you so much. I'm a 65 years old lady living in an old house. I didn't have much knowledge on home repair. I just started to educate myself to deal with all things that falls apart in my house. You not only provided me with great knowledge to deal with faucet leak, you also helped to build my confidence to meet the daily challenge.

I don't know who in the world could give "thumbs down" on this video. You were very concise, quick and informative. Thank you so much!!!!

Awesome tutorial. No gimmicks, no silly music playing in the background, no frills, no b.s.. Just an excellent no nonsense "how to" on how to fix a leaky shower faucet. Excellent work. My compliments.

My 89 year old mom's bathtub faucet has been leaking pretty steadily recently. Not being a plumber I told myself, "What's the use. I'm no handyman." I watched your video, picked up new hardware at the store and a half hour later, the leak has stopped! Thank you for being such a great teacher!

[deedee]

omg i just used this to fix my faucet and im proud of myself!!! it worked like a charm!!! THANK YOU so much for this easy video!

Thanks for the video. Years of a small leak turning into a stream leak. The plumber came out to fix the elements on my hot water heater ($250 for labor). He noticed the streaming leak and said for another $250 he would return and fix the steam plus I'd need to buy a new bathtub faucet system or he'd buy and install. That's when I said to myself a few choice words that weren't French. On the night b4 my day off, I searched YouTube for ways to fix a leaking bathroom tub system. There you were, so thanks. Now I've got to find out about septic systems. Thank you again for the ease and explanation of the video.

[nrecendez]

Thank you for the video!
I tried this once before, but the other persons video did not mention the seat. Therefore, my faucet leaked again. You saved me $250 for the quote the plumber gave me. The washers cost me $.79. The seat $2.99 for two. And the seat wrench was $14.99. All purchased at lowe's.
Thanks you again. I will subscribe!

What a gem you are for sharing this tutorial. I've been waiting 4 months for my landlord to come fix my leaky faucet, but looks like I can give it a try myself now. Thank you!!

I’m a widowed mom of two young kids. We own our home and don’t really have great insurance nor do we have the extra money to hire a plumber when times call for it. We have had a constant heavy leak in one of our bath tubs w the hot water and it constantly ran, it wasn’t a simple drip, it was a steady stream, it’s been going on for a few years now and I’ve just eaten the added expense, my water bill is always outrageous but the streaming hot water made it worse. I got up the other morning and the stream worsened to the point of needing fixed otherwise there’s no telling how high my water bill would have went up. So I got on here and started looking for videos w similar faucets to mine, I landed on ur video. I had to drain my hot water heater because the plumbers that installed it put the shut off on the wrong pipe, but once I was able to get that done, I was able to use ur very helpful video and get my faucet apart, went t Walmart got a multipack of plumbing washers, ect. found one that fit and put it all back together and now no more unwanted running/leaking water! I can’t tell u how much being able to use this video meant, I can’t afford a plumber, don’t have my husband to help, my dad is disabled and can’t help, so I was on my own and w/ out this video and the Good Lord’s help I would NOT have been able to get it fixed!! THANK YOU for taking the time and for the helpful info!!

This video is so informative, it felt like 2 weeks worth of trade school knowledge ... all in 10 minutes! Thank you man

[kevind]

Why would people give this video a thumbs down? My guess is its angry plumbers butt hurt because this gentleman made a great video to save homeowners money. Well done and thank-you.

Thank you so much for explaining the seat and how it interacts with the washer.  It's the little details like that that make this such a great tutorial.

[zkkorpio]

let me give you 10 stars on this video!!! this is probably the best video on youtube when it comes to explaining a repair! 
you had the close ups real good!
you explained every step very clear
you didn't talk garbage or nonsense  while explaining the repair
you didn't try to show off anything
 you had the right lighting
I've seen many many clips on yt and i wish all videos were like this one!

thank you for this video, I hope youtube recognize your work! 
thanks!

I live in a rental apartment with my girlfriend and we had this issue pop up. I told my landlord I would be happy to do what I could to solve the issue so he could save some money. This video was tremendously helpful! I liked that you included the bit about the seat potentially damaging the washer and how to handle that issue. Didn’t run into that problem but if I ever do, now I know what to do. Thanks for posting!

[reddmills]

I’m a single mom and you helped me tremendously no bill just straight facts thank you

[gazzelle]

This video just saved me 100's of dollars! I just replaced the entire faucet system for around $60. Every seat was stripped, so the extra advice helped tremendously!

[pamelajohnson]

I'm so grateful for this video! Yesterday, 4/21/18, I replaced the hot, cold and shower taps. It took me just over an hour because I had to replace the seats as well and the lime built-up, REALLY gave me a hard time getting the handles off. I got a kit that had the spindle and washers already in place. I am so proud of myself. Thank you for showing how to do it. I'm ever grateful. 🤗
