It sounds like you had a frustrating experience trying to fix your sink faucet. Changing the cartridge can be a tricky task, and it's not uncommon for other issues to arise during the process. I had a similar issue with my sink faucet, but I solved it with the help of professional plumbers.

Opted to 1/4 turn ball valves when built this house. Positive shut off, nothing compresses, nylon and stainless system less chances for corruption.
So Far, not been a concern changing things downstream. |

Four year old post of mine. Wife's having our master bathroom remodeled. Guys couldn't get the lav faucet and toilet supplies to shut off completely. After they left for the day I replaced the 3 shut off washers. No more drips. Maybe this time I'll be smart enough to do every shut off in the house. Thanks

AC in SC , problem with any plumbing valve is by the time you need it, it probably won't work. When ever I replace a faucet I replace the shut off valves below them at the same time. Same with a toilet or any other fixtures. Also want to connect a long supply line and run water into a bucket before connecting new faucet. Make sure to flush line out so debris doesn't wash into new faucet.
I try to install lever ball valve on the main water supply and they need replaced about every 20 years. I replace valve above water heaters when I replace them . Customer will ask why until I show them the inside with all the mineral build-up in them. |

Thanks Pat! I do flush the lines out . Hopefully new supply stop washers will work another 10 years . I may be past caring by then? Old washers are hard and brittle and fall off when I pull the stem out. Thanks again!
