Tap Repair and Installation

If you have persistent drips or leaks from your taps that are keeping you up at night, it’s probably time to call a plumber. Leaky taps can be a sign of more serious issues with your plumbing including problems with your pipes, cracks, corrosion and more. Depending on the type of problem, it may be worthwhile replacing your taps to eradicate the problem.

In addition to being frustrating, low water pressure can indicate a more serious problem with your plumbing systems. If you’ve cleared out any clogs and your water pressure is still low, book a plumber to take a look. Low water pressure could indicate broken or cracked pipes which may leak every time you use your water.

Tap washers are small disks fitted to the inside of a tap and work to create a valve seal when the tap is turned off. If your taps are leaking, it could indicate that your washers are worn and need replacing. Fully-functioning washers are effective at ensuring tightness and preventing leakage.

If your taps are cracked, discoloured, corroded or faded, it’s time to call a plumber. While cracked or discoloured taps are unsightly, they can also develop mould and mildew. This mould and mildew could extend into the foundations of your property and cause further structural damage.

If you hear loud or unusual sounds such as screeches, whistles and shudders when you turn your taps on, it’s a sure sign that something’s wrong. A plumber will be able to identify what’s going on behind the scenes with your taps. Whether that’s identifying high water pressure, cracked taps or blockages.
