Thank you for reaching out to us at EmpowHer.

I've attached some wonderful EmpowHer interviews about leaky valves. I hope this helps your mom. Your email didn't mentioned which valve your mom is having problems with, so I hope this helps you. Please let me know if you need any additional information.
