Common Tap & Outlet Problems We Fix

A dripping tap rarely stays a minor annoyance for long. Left alone, a worn washer or failing ceramic disc can waste a surprising amount of water, stain your sink or bath, and eventually damage the tap body itself. Mixer taps that have gone stiff or won't shut off completely are often a sign the cartridge or spindle has worn out, and ignoring it can lead to the tap failing altogether at an inconvenient moment.

Outdoor and laundry taps face their own set of challenges. Hose cocks and garden taps left exposed to the weather can seize, corrode or start weeping at the base, while washing machine taps and isolation valves that go unchecked can develop slow leaks behind appliances where nobody notices. A wall mixer leaking into the cavity, or a flexi hose supply line failing at the tap tail, can quietly cause water damage to flooring, cabinetry or plasterboard long before a puddle appears.

Low pressure at a single tap, water hammer when a tap is switched off, or a tap that's suddenly become difficult to operate are all worth having checked. These signs can point to anything from a failing cartridge to a wider pressure problem, and an experienced plumber can usually tell the difference in a single visit.
