Call

On modern faucets, most leaky handles are caused by a worn faucet cartridge. On older faucets, the leak is usually caused by a worn washer or O-ring. You can bring the old washer or O-ring to your hardware to find a replacement, but you'll need to call the faucet manufacturer to get a replacement cartridge. Make sure you find the faucet's brand name and model number before placing this call.
