Leaky Faucet Keeping You Up at Night?
A dripping tap is more than just a nuisance. It’s also the sound of money going down your drain. Even a slow leak can add up to hundreds of litres of wasted water every year. That’s bad news for your water bill, and for the environment.
Leaky faucets are one of the most common residential plumbing problems. From bathtubs to kitchen sinks, faucets are in daily use so it’s not surprising that seals and other parts wear out or become damaged over time.
Luckily, leaky faucets are also one of the easiest plumbing problems to identify and fix. So, there’s no reason to put up with annoying drip-drip-drip.

4 Causes of a Leaky Faucet
Here are a few things that could be causing your leaky faucet:
During use, your faucet’s rubber washer is forced against the valve seat. This constant friction will cause the washer to wear out over time – resulting in a dripping tap. A worn-out washer is one of the most common cause of a leaky faucet, and also the simplest one to fix.
The O-ring is attached to the stem screw that holds the handle of your faucet in place. If the O-ring becomes loose or wears out from regular use, your faucet may drip near the handle and should be replaced.
If your faucet still drips after you have replaced the washer and O-ring, you may have a corroded valve seat. A professional plumber can clean or replace the part to fix the leak.
If your washer is the wrong size or improperly installed it can cause a leaky faucet. A residential plumber can help you select and install the right washer for your tap.
