What Causes My Taps To Leak?

Taps with washers are most likely to leak. The washer becomes worn as it acts as a ‘seal’ to stop the flow of water. When changing your washer, your Dr. DRiP plumber may recommend a full service of your tap, including ‘re-seating’, replacing o-rings and re-greasing the tap.

In some cases, it’s economically beneficial to replace the entire tap if it’s old and beyond repair – this is something your plumber will determine. Ceramic disc taps and mixer taps will take longer to leak. Eventually, they’ll need to be repaired or replaced, too, on inspection by a trained plumber.
