Hello again, it's me, the guy that put his lawnmower blade on upside down, back with a new question...
So our shower drips, and I haven't found a way to stop it, but it's not much, and it's in the shower, and we can't get back in there to the valves or anything without removing part of the shower, so whatever, it drips, it's okay for now. We just bought the house in march and we have other things we're still working on.
So this week I'm replacing one of the bathroom faucets so I try to turn the water off underneath, and when I turn the valve it starts leaking from the valve itself. Okay, so I need to replace the valve soon, but to get this faucet project done real quick I can just turn the water off at the curb.
So I do that, and then turn on the other faucet to get all the water out of the system. Aaaaaaand it doesn't stop dripping. So I just go ahead and turn the valve back on because the water is off, and it starts dripping from the end of the connector.
Due to a different problem (I think the last person glued the sink flange to the drain pipe) I ended up not being able to replace the faucet, so I just reconnected it to the faucet to stop the dripping, which worked, but then the shower started dripping again. (The shower had stopped dripping during all of this other dripping.)
So, theories? My current leading theory is that maybe the water coming to our master bath is somehow coming through the attic so that maybe even when I turn the water off there's some left in the lines and both the valve under the sink and one of the shower valves is broken.
