Professional Repairs for Leaking Taps Townsville


Why is My Tap Leaking?


A dripping tap can be more than just an annoyance; it signifies wasted water and potential damage and might just hint at underlying plumbing issues. 


There are various reasons why taps begin to leak:


  • Worn-out washer: Over time, with regular use, washers can deteriorate, leading to leaks.
  • Damaged valve seat: This is the part where the tap washer seals against the tap. If corroded or damaged, it can cause dripping.
  • O-ring issues: A loose or worn-out O-ring can lead to a leak near the handle.
  • Corroded pipe or fittings: Over time, pipes and fittings can corrode, leading to small leaks.
  • Incorrect washer size: Sometimes, a washer that doesn't fit perfectly can cause leaks.

Fixing the Drip: Repairs & Upgrades


Simply replacing faulty components and relubricating existing tapware spindles can often solve the issue. However, if your tapware is showing signs of excessive wear or damage, it might be more cost-effective to consider an upgrade.

If your tapware feels too far gone or simply doesn't match your current style, it may be the perfect time to embrace new features.
