STOPPING A COMPRESSION FAUCET LEAK

A compression faucet is called this because a rubber washer. To replace a worn washer, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the water to the faucet.
2. Remove the decorative cap, if there is one, on top of the faucet handle.
Depending on its design, either pull it up or unscrew it.
3. Unscrew or pull off the handle and remove it.
If the handle sticks, gently nudge it up with a screwdriver. Wrap the screwdriver edge with a rag to prevent marring the finish.
4. Remove the cover over the valve, called an escutcheon, if there is one.
Some types unscrew while others are held in place by set screws. Inspect the escutcheon to figure out how to remove it.
5. Unscrew the packing nut that holds the body of the valve in place, turning it counterclockwise. The valve stem should come out of the base of the valve. You may have to twist the valve-stem body several turns after you loosen the packing nut and the valve stem. If it is hard to unscrew, put the handle back on the stem and give it a twist. The stem then comes out of the valve.
6. Unscrew the retaining screw and remove the washer.
On the other end of the stem there is a rubber washer that is held in place by a screw. These valve washers come in many shapes and sizes, so take the valve stem to the plumbing department of your local hard-ware store or home center, and get a washer that matches the old one. This may be more difficult than it sounds because the old washer is usually damaged and deformed. The best clue to the original shape of the washer is to look into the valve body and take a look at the metal opening that the washer presses against the valve seat. If the side of the valve seat is angled, replace the washer with a cone shape; if the valve seat is flat, get a replacement washer that's flat.
7. Replace the old washer with the new one and reassemble the faucet.
