Hi everyone, New user here and first time home buyer. Hopefully I can get some assistance. We have a standard shower tub with a "pull up" diverter to move the water to the shower head. Our problem is that when we turn off the shower, there is a steady drip coming from the tub faucet (not the shower head). A plumber actually came in the first day and replaced the tub faucet and it was fixed for a few days however we are seeing the leak again tonight and it actually is a little worse. Any ideas on this? I'm amateur when it comes to plumbing but it seems like the leak depends on whether we shut off the shower a certain way. Sometimes, we'll turn off the shower and it doesnt seem to shut off completely, almost hearing a gas like sound. Could it be a problem with knob? Ill be happy to answer any questions if I am not clear Thanks!

I replaced the washer on the hot water faucet in my shower to stop a drip. The drip has stopped (yeah) but now the faucet is hard to turn, Hot water initially comes out ok but then slows down significantly and when I turn the knob more, there is a slight bang and the flow nearly stops, but if I turn it still further the water comes out like a tidal wave...it's either a slow flow or too much. It was working fine before I replaced the washer (except for the dip). It's probably the original plumbing in a 45 year old house. Thanks in advance.
