Hello,
I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I know nothingabout plumbing but I have two pipes in my kitchen that run to my washing machine.One has a red cap on and another has a blue cap on – i am assuming this relatedto cold and hot water supply. Now, there is a small drip happening from each ofthese just around the area where I think there is a round plastic valve thing.
Is it possible for someone like myself, an absolute amateur whenit comes to plumbing and DIY, to unscrew these and replace them as i think thelittle drips are through wear and tear (but i could be wrong) – well I am hoping it is just a matterof changing these and not an entire pipe.
Should I try to tighten them?
I have placed a little plastic tub underneath to catch the waterbut after about 12 hours it is almost full.
Any ideas would be most appreciated.
Should I call out a professional to do this level of job?
Thank you!
