Thanks will try there.
What type of tap single 2 handle post picture if you can, could be handle, cartridge adapter need more info or least what Iam dealing with
On older faucets, the screw that holds the stem washer on can back out and get wedged between the stem and the seat. This will physically prevent you from fully shutting off the faucet.
Remove the stem, retrieve the screw and put it all back together, using new washers, screws, etc if desired.
Hmmm...how about buy a large supply of plastic bottles and lease a lorry...
Simple repair or so it seems. Most likely the washer inside valve is shot. If you can get the valve apart, you should be able to find and replace its washer.
