How can I repair a leaky faucet on my own

Sure! Here are three different ways you can tackle that leaky faucet:

. **Basic Fix**: First, turn off the water supply under the sink. Then, take off the faucet handle by removing the screw (sometimes it’s hidden under a decorative cap). Once you’ve got that off, you can see the cartridge or washer inside. Replace the worn-out washer or cartridge, put everything back together, and turn the water supply back on. Easy peasy!

. **DIY with Tools**: Grab a wrench, some screwdrivers, and a replacement kit from the hardware store. Start by shutting off the water and draining the faucet. Remove the handle and unscrew the packing nut. Replace the O-rings or washers as needed. Reassemble everything, turn the water back on, and check for leaks. You got this!
