he changed valve and valve seats both times. After 6 weeks drip is back. I'm not accusing the plumber of blowing smoke up your skirt when he said he changed the seats. (Did he or leave the old seats so you could see? )
But if the seat were rough or nicked it would take about 6 weeks to tear up the new washer. That would would be my first guess. Good luck, Tom
