    Tub faucet still leaks AFTER I've turned of the water.any ideas?
    Aloha~

    Our tub faucet still leaks AFTER I've turned of the water.

    I'm a little hesitant to go further into the repair as I don't know if there will still be water flowing.

    Oh, and it's the HOT water faucet that won't stop dripping.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Mahalo~

    Let start by shutting off your main supply line to make sure that that valve isn't also bad. If your main shuts everything down then you can open the spigot in question and remove the valve stem or cartridge. I'd need a brand or picture ti give more details if you don't know how to remove the stem.
