THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY A DRIPPING TAP

Water damage unfortunately naturally cohabits with leaks. Water damage can eat away at your timber floor, erode your grout or even stain your sink. Water leaks can be sneaky and unless you're monitoring your water meter, it may be hard to detect a problem. One slow dripping tap can have you using an extra 9'000 litres of water a year. When you notice a leak, it's time to take action. Contact Network Plumbing for a full assessment before the water pressure or water damage takes hold and start saving water. . A simple phone call could get your tap fixed before any significant damage is done. We are on call 24 hours a day!

Leaking Tap

Plumbing Services Sydney

Our highly trained professional plumbers are on call to stop that drip. While it might seem obvious that a leak needs to be fixed, you might not be aware there is a little problem until it becomes a bigger job. Fixing a leaking tap is second nature to our technicians.


Leaks can go undetected under your sink, behind a washing machine or outside in the front yard or back garden. We have compiled are our top 6 signs you might be susceptible to a leaking tap.


If you can identify with any of the below signs of a leaking tap, it's time to either brush up on your DIY skills or seek a professional service like Network Plumbing. We can assess the situation to see if the tap in question needs a repair or replacement. Leaking taps can cost you more in water bills or can cause water damage to your property quickly.

6 Signs You May Have a Tap Leak

  1. The drip, drip of a dripping leak
  2. You notice pooling water around the tap basin
  3. Your tap has visible signs of age, generally speaking, taps older than 10 years should regularly be inspected as the tap enters the end of its life span
  4. Your tap is a noisemaker when in use. If you hear sounds like squeaks or bangs
  5. If you notice stains occurring around your tap or inside the sink
  6. If you need to use force to turn the tap off

HOW TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF A LEAK

If you notice that when the tap is turned off, water is still leaking - this implies it might be your jumper valve that needs replacing.

On the other hand, if water is escaping from between the body of the tap and the spindle - this indicates it may be a faulty O-ring.


Network Plumbing is ready and able to fix or supply a replacement tap. Whether it's worn-out washers, annoying leaks that won't stop or the extreme case of a burst pipe. Simply contact our plumber here to schedule an inspection for a tap repair.

Why a Tap Might Be Leaking?

Dripping taps are annoying. We know. Understanding why your tap is suffering from leaks may help cover you in the future, save you money and offer you helpful plumbing knowledge for those rainy days.

1

The tap washer is not the correct size.

2

The tap washer and jumper valve is worn out.

3

There is corrosion or damage caused to the tap.

4

The O-rings are loose or worn out.

Unfortunately, a leaking tap, a broken seal or a misaligned valve are jobs that will not fix themselves. Intervention needs to happen. A repair should take place immediately by an efficient local plumbing company that know the telltale signs of the difference between a repair or a replacement.   


If you need a plumber to fix a leaking tap fo you, we can take your call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!

Property Plumbing Maintenance

While we might only notice our plumbing when things aren't working properly, house plumbing maintenance is an essential part of preventing problems like a leaking shower, a dripping tap or a toilet repair that you just can't put off any longer.


Much like your car, your house requires general plumbing maintenance from time to time. However, there are several areas homeowners should keep in mind when it comes to plumbing maintenance.  


  • Check all taps inside the home, run your finger around the base of your tap to check for any excess water
  • Open the cupboard under the sink to check for any pooling of water
  • Notice the inside of your sink, looking for water stains
  • Do not over turn your tap, this will wear the washer faster than necessary
  • Be mindful of washing machines and their connection at the back of the machine
  • Don't forget outside, check hoses and external taps. 

  

When it comes to plumbing maintenance, simply being observant and periodically checking these areas should bypass any nasty surprises in the future.
