Valve for main supply isn't sealing properly, is that what you're asking? If they aren't used for a long time they tend to leak, I change them out all the time at work.View attachment 3364443 Any plumbers here ? Here is a pic of my hot water valve in the shower with out the valve stem.
Notice the water leaking ? And that is with the main supply turned off...any hints of what may cause this ?

Was just gonna ask that too.did you replace the actual valve seats, not just the washer(s)?
If not removable, they have a tool that will/can regrind the seat. Doesn't always work that good. And are you sure it's not leaking past the threads?Was just gonna ask that too.
this is the tool that removes the seat (if it's removable, some aren't)Ok, let me get in on this. How does one open up that valve once the stem is removed? I've been struggling with bad water pressure on the Hot valve and would really like to figure out what to do.
No drip. Probably a bit clogged up with Ca deposits. I need a stem valve wrench thing apparently. I figure if I remove it and blow it out, it should get better.this is the tool that removes the seat (if it's removable, some aren't)

You can regrind the seat, (maybe) using this:
do you have low water pressure or does it leak? Sometimes it not worth fucking around with and easier to replace the assy. (unless you have to open up the wall)
sometimes they're stuck fast in the faucet base. watch so you don't strip out the squared out part. probably have to soak it in vinegar. I hate plumbing shit. (almost as much as roofing shit)No drip.

The water pressure is fine, just not getting through that valve well.
Yeah, I would replace the faucet but we'll be leaving and I think it is just money down the drain.sometimes they're stuck fast in the faucet base. watch so you don't strip out the squared out part. probably have to soak it in vinegar. I hate plumbing shit. (almost as much as roofing shit)
does he know anything about plumbing?My roommate walked in on me having sex on my couch last night. Right when I finished I heard the freezer door open, about 20 feet away. Perfectly bad timing cause now he knows what kinda noises I make when I cum, fml.
I was the one laying pipe. I'm the plummer in this situation.does he know anything about plumbing?
and assuming no lack of pressure or dripage?I was the one laying pipe. I'm the plummer in this situation.
