WHERE LEAKING TAP REPAIRS ARE NOT AN ISSUE

COMMON REASONS FOR LEAKY TAPS IN MELBOURNE

As an essential part of your Melbourne home, the last thing you want is a leaking tap causing trouble. Like any plumbing fixture, taps can develop issues over time. Some problems can be minor drips, while others can turn into more significant leaks but they all benefit from the expert touch of a professional plumber.

Here are the most common reasons for a leaky tap:

1. Worn-Out or Broken Tap Washer

Clients often tell us, “My tap won’t stop leaking.” If your tap is dripping or not functioning correctly, it could be due to a worn-out or broken washer.

  • Is the washer damaged?
  • Is the seal compromised?
  • Is the tap not closing properly?

If you suspect that your tap washer is faulty and needs attention, reach out to Fast Plumber, the experts in leaky tap repairs Melbourne. We’ll inspect your tap and fix it promptly.

2. Corroded or Damaged Valve Seating

Leaking taps often result from issues with the valve seating. When the seating is corroded or damaged, it can lead to persistent dripping or significant leaks. Other common causes include loose connections, worn-out seals, or mineral build-up around the valve area.

To fix your leaking tap problem and prevent further issues, call 0437 288 800 to consult with our experts.

3. Worn Out Jumper Valve

Have you ever dealt with a tap that only dribbles water out? This could be a sign that your jumper valve is worn out, affecting your plumbing. When the valve fails, it can drastically reduce water flow, resulting in a frustratingly weak stream.

Issues with the jumper valve can hinder water from flowing effectively to where it’s needed, making everyday tasks like washing hands or doing dishes a hassle. Plus, a worn valve can lead to inefficiencies and potential water wastage, which nobody wants.

To fix your low water pressure problem quickly, call us today at 0437 288 800 for free quote.

4. O-ring is loose or damaged

Have you ever turned on a tap and noticed water leaking from the base of the handle?

This can point to a problem with the O-ring. The O-ring is a small but crucial component, it can become loose or damaged over time, leading to leaks around the tap.

When the O-ring fails, it can cause water to escape from the handle, affecting the tap’s performance and wasting water. It’s important to address this issue promptly to avoid further complications.

5. Incorrectly Sized Tap Washer

An incorrectly sized tap washer can cause annoying drips or leaks, which need to be addressed promptly to prevent further issues. While it might seem like a minor problem, a washer that’s too large or too small can compromise the effectiveness of your tap, leading to water wastage and potential damage.

How to fix a leaking kitchen tap?

Our experienced team is fully equipped to handle all kinds of repairs to hot water or faulty taps.

Fixing a leaking kitchen tap often involves addressing worn-out components that are causing the leak. Here’s a general guide:

  • First, turn off the water supply to the tap.
  • Open the tap to drain any remaining water and relieve any pressure.
  • Remove the tap handle. This usually involves unscrewing a screw located either on the top of the handle under a decorative cap or at the back.

  • Replace any damaged components. It’s a good idea to take the old parts to a hardware store to ensure you get the correct replacements.
  • Reassemble the tap in the reverse order of disassembly.

How to repair a leaking tap?

Repairing leaky taps is our specialty at Fast Plumber. Our skilled technicians have extensive experience in diagnosing and servicing any tap issues or hot water services.

Repairing a leaking tap typically involves identifying and replacing worn-out components:

  • Start by turning off the water supply to the tap to prevent any accidental spills.
  • Open the tap to release any residual water and pressure.
  • Depending on the tap design, remove the handle or knob. This often requires unscrewing a retaining screw which might be hidden under a decorative cap.

  • Examine the valve or cartridge. In many cases, a deteriorated washer or O-ring causes the leak.
  • Replace any worn or damaged parts. If you’re unsure about the size or type, take the old components to a hardware store to get exact replacements.
  • Once the necessary parts are replaced, reassemble the tap, following the steps in reverse order.
  • Restore the water supply and test the tap to ensure the leak is resolved.

If the tap continues to leak or if you’re uncertain about any steps, consider seeking the expertise of a professional plumbing service to guarantee the repair is executed correctly.
