I am trying to repair a leaking stop valve on my 1st floor toilet. The leak (very slow) is occurring at the connection between the wall and the stop valve. I have tried tightening it but it doesn't seem to work. I would like to remove the valve and put teflon tape on the connection. I first shut of the water supply to the house (I have a well) and the water pump, then emptied the toilet and ran water in the bathroom sink until it would run no more. When I removed the stop valve I was flooded. Water kept pouring in - there were not enough buckets...
Did I miss a step or do it in the wrong order??? I figured the water supply was turned off and the pressure was relieved - all would be good.
What am I doing wrong?
Please help,
Terri
