How do you know if it’s the diverter or the hot/cold water faucet that is causing the leak?

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Is water hot or cold? If warm, it’s your hot water stem. If cold, it’s your cold water stem. If water is visibly leaking from diverter or the diverter is performing poorly, we definitely recommend replacing diverter. Please keep us posted. Us DIY’ers need to stick together! 😎👍🔧🔩

​@@DIYwithMichaelBordersI'm a newly single woman with a home that's falling apart. Should I pick up a basic tool set from the hardware store or buy individual tools as needed?

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

We ourselves started out by purchasing tools individually when needed however realized over the years that had we just bought a standard tool set, we would have gotten all the same tools and paid half the price.

Just an observation, as long as you have the water off you should rebuild both the hot valve and the cold valve. If one side is dripping, chances are the other side will probably start dripping soon. Otherwise, nice video.

Hot water seems to be an issue on a lot of the plumbing issues I've had over the years. Seems to leak more on the valves/lines. For instance I install a washer, the hot water line leaks more often or not then the cold...course either I have insufficiently tightened it or added enough teflon. Likewise as in this video my faucet gasket/rings tend to go bad.

How do I make the water stop dripping from the faucet after I turn everything off..its only the hot water no matter how hard I pull to close the hot water handle it doesn't stop slowly dripping and it now spins all the way around instead of off and on positions with the inbetween only

Thanks for watching Joshua, let’s get figured out together. Sounds like you need a new seat & stem.

I have a question and maybe you'll know the answer. My tub faucet is doing something weird, not quite like this but it thought I'd ask. I turn off the faucet and its fine no water running. Within 10 or 20 minutes I return and it doing a steady drip of hot water. If I turn either faucet on and off again it stops temporarily again. Any idea what is causing that?

[@williamshreiner5719]

Why would not have a shut off value right behind your faucet in the bathroom?

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Thanks for watching & wouldn’t that be pretty convenient. So true. We appreciate you reaching out to us. Enjoy your day. 😎👍🔧🔩

My case changing the washer, the seat but still dripping? Any idea?

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. A few steps to take. We recommend replacing entire stem/cartridge all together. If that solves problem...great...if not...we recommend replacing internal Seat. Below is a link to our video showing the replacement process of internal Seat. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3_TYmyfZt6Jj9k Please keep us posted. Enjoy your day. 😎👍🔧🔩

Did this to my faucet changed everything including the seat and it still leaks any suggestions??

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

JayP1029 G Thanks for watching, let’s get this figured out. By chance, did you apply Teflon tape to the seat thread? Keep us posted. Us fellow DIY’ers need to stick together. 😎👍🔧🔩

[@AmethystWoman]

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders do you recommend teflon tape or not? It a scary to think one can't get things reseated right, no water till you can get a plumber. Eeks

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

@@AmethystWoman Thanks for watching & Teflon tape is recommended on the thread of the stems/cartridges. 😀👍

I'm here because I too have a leaking bathtub but don't actually care to repair because I'm searching for another apartment, so I'll let my family handle it when they get back. But I do need to turn the hot water off as I can't have that just drizzle. I couldn't find any gauge to turn the water off and then discovered that the water heater had a gauge ontop of it that directed to both hot and cold water, so I just turned that off. Is that okay?

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Thanks for watching & that’s the shutoff valve to the heater itself. It will stop water flow to tub however it may also stop flow of water to other faucets throughout the house...depending on how your heater is configured. 😎👍🔧🔩

[@CrossoverGameReviews]

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders Well, I only turned off one of them, the red one which was for hot water. It stopped all faucets with hot water but cold water runs fine. I live in an apartment and I can't find any valve of any kind to turn off the water. But I really just want a temporary solution until my family gets back and calls the landlord. I really want nothing to do with this apartment anymore so as long as this works, it's good enough. Thank you so much for the video and the instructions.

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

@@CrossoverGameReviews Thanks for the reply. 😎👍🔧🔩

[@paigegreen8488]

I replaced the things behind the faucets but my spout is still dripping!!! And the spout itself is too small I bought the wrong one could that be the issue?

[@Aboogie_1]

Mines doesn't look completely chrome it's like a white plastic and the rest has chrome is that the same thing I'm kinda scared to attempt this I just wanna be sure

[@TradBarbie]

Have the one handle you turn for hot and cold 😔 I don't know how that works

[@emsmks977]

I don’t see the link to the video on how to replace the seat? Maybe I am missing something? Thanks.

Did you add plumber's tape before inserting the cartridge back? Required or not required? Thanks for a well done video in explaining what to do.

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Good morning & thanks for watching. In this specific video, we did not apply Teflon tape, just the rubber o-ring...however...below is a link to our video showing replacement of the stem. In this video, we apply Teflon tape to the new part prior to install. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGilXmath56Uh5Y Definitely check it out, you may find it helpful. Hope all is well. 😎👍🔧🔩

[@KevsGuide]

why not use a wrench on the hex part of the cartridge?

[@DonnaB1]

Place a towel over the drain to avoid losing a screw!!!!

Ok so the one i have broke, and it wasn'y a metal like connection, it was with a plastic one, so my question is, do i NEED. A metal threaded thing from the wall to the faucet, or can i use another plastic one?? Also since its been using a plastic one for years perfectly fine, can i use a plastic one again? And can i just use a sprinkler riser as a connection

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Chasen 161 Awesome Awesome & glad it helped. If your part has plastic thread, we would replace it with the same plastic thread part you have.

I actually went a head and bought a replacement cartridge but now the faucet handle keeps turning instead of stopping. It will turn the water on and off as I keep turning it! HELP!

Is it okay to only turn off water from water heater
