Your water pipes in your bathtub make a howling noise. When you open the sink faucet it stops or if you wait long enough it stops on its own. How do you solve this problem?

Could be the washer vibrating in the bath faucet/mixer. Over time, washers can degrade and become floppy or develop a rough surface. High pressure water over the surface can act like air past a clarinet reed. Opening the sink faucet takes the water feed pressure off the bath faucet, stopping the vibration.

When I turn off my kitchen faucet the water does not immediately stop. It drizzles out for a few seconds and then stops. What is the problem?

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.


Low water flow on kitchen faucet not in sprayer?

If you have adequate flow from the other sinks in the house then either one of the items mentioned below should help. The first thing to look at is the aerator. At the end of the faucet spigot there is a small screw on ring that holds a screen filter (the aerator) sometimes it can get plugged with debris and cause a low flow issue. The next thing to check is the shut-off valves beneath the sink. Makes sure they are turned fully open (counterclockwise).
