There are many faucets that do this. There is water between the end of the faucet and the valve. You turn it off, and the water comes out of that area. Unfortunately, there's not much you can do about it.
If it is a standard Moen kitchen faucet, it's because the diverter piece in the faucet got some dirt in it, or the rubber parts of it are swollen from the water. Common problem, and an easy fix if you know (or can figure out) how to take it apart. Don't forget to turn the water off!
turn it off!
Yes, make sure you turn off power to the water heater. Also shut off the icemaker. No. Just turn it off. Just remember to turn it back on before you open any of your inside faucets. And you also need to turn off the hot water heater.
The shower valve needs to be repaired! As for the water not shutting off when you turned off the main that is also needing replacement when it shut of by turning on other faucets you were simply diverting the flow from the leaking main shut off.
It is highly dangerous and can be fatal. It is best to turn off the kitchen counter after you are done for the day.
The water valve under the sink is turned off or has gone bad. It is possible that there is a blockage in the faucet itself. I'd start by ensuring that the water valve is turned off, and take the faucet apart and look for anything out of the ordinary.
you will need to drain the storage tank == First, you turn the water off at the main, then turn on all the faucets and let them drain until there is not any water coming out. The absence of water will prevent their freezing.
AnswerIt depends on the manufacturer.AnswerIf they are "fluted" handles (uniform throughout their perimeter), they should both turn clockwise to shut off. If they are "wing" handles (a blade sticks out, somewhere on their perimeter), then the wings should push outward to turn off, and inward to turn on. In other words, the left handle turns clockwise to shut off, and the right handle turns counterclockwise to turn off.
I do that to just check before you leave the kichen
Try turning off the water at the main. Turn on all of the faucets in the house and let them drain. Turn the main back on. Might be some air in the line.
