Plumbing Issues Fixed

Every thing with plumbing had a leak, all minor, but things that needed to be fixed or upgraded. Luckily I am handy enough that I was able to repair all of the things myself.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First to be fixed was the toilet leak. It kept running, or had a slow constant flow, which over time will run th water bill up. All it needed was a new flapper because the seal on the old one was the reason. After installing flapper it sealed it prefectly and fixed that small leak.

Next the hot water handle for the shower/tub leaked. Since the hot water leaked I figured it might be just a matter of time until the cold did too. I took the handles off and pulled the valves out and replaced both valves.

Next the bathroom sink leaked out the bottom, which you really only saw when you pulled the drain and filled up the sink. I didn't want any type of leak so I replaced the entire drain filler and stop valve.

Then the kitchen sink had a small leak right at the bottom where the faucet came into the base. It was minor but still a leak and also I wanted to upgrade it anyways.
