On two-handle faucets, the stem is the part that wears and drips. Here is the Morgan Hill guide.
The stem
The stem moves up and down on a seat to control flow, and its washer wears out.
The fix
Remove the handle and the stem, then replace the washer or the whole stem.
The seat
A pitted seat also causes drips and may need a seat wrench or a replacement.
The call
Stop the drip for good. Call 888-217-3585 and Morgan Hill Plumbing Experts will match you with a Morgan Hill pro.
