We were out for vacation. I turned my water off. When we came back yesterday, I slowly turned the water on while keeping the kitchen faucet open. When I went upstairs, I found the bath tub faucetbwas open (I think I probably didn't close it when I turned water off and drained water before going for vacation). When I closed the tub faucet, it was dripping cold water. It was almost a stream yesterday and today it slowed down to dripping. The faucet was absolutely fine before. Is it possible that the seal/spring got damaged or displaced when I turned water yesterday? My tub dies not have separate valve so I need to shut my water main in order to either replace seal/spring or cartridge. When I turn the water off, do I just open the tub faucet to drain water or do I need to open all the faucets in the house to drain all water? Also, when I turn water back on, do I need to slowly open the water main and keep at least one faucet open? Thanks in advance.
