Use a screwdriver to remove the screw in each handle.
Pop off the faucet caps with a small screwdriver if your faucets have them. Cover the drain with a cloth or paper towel so you don't lose any parts. Turn on the handle to drain residual water that might still be in the pipes. The vast majority of the time, the problem is a damaged seat, stem, or washer.

Multiply by six to determine the amount of litres of water lost per hour. Be sure to write your answer in litres and not kilolitres. Subtract the start reading from the final reading. To determine the extent of a leak initiate reading, wait for about 15 minutes and then take another reading.
Then examine the meter for a few minutes and note any movement in the ‘tell-tale' wheel. Doing this ensures that all the taps in the house and garden are turned off and that all the equipments like toilets, bathrooms, basins, etc are not in operation. The first step in discovering the source of the problem is knowing what all the dials on the water meter measure. Pipe leakage can be anywhere, after all in some cases nobody knows where the rupture actually occurred, so the first step towards pipe repair is tracing the source of the problem and then taking the steps needed to repair the leaking section. To deal with leaking problems one needs to understand the basics behind the leakage, followed by planning and fixing the source of the problem. When gas or oil pipes leak it can create an even more perilous situation, as gas can build up in the home and release toxic fumes potentially causing injury, death, or an explosion.
