Common Causes of Leaking Taps

Taps can leak for a variety of reasons, and identifying the root cause is essential to ensuring a proper fix. Our expert plumbers can quickly diagnose the issue and provide the necessary repairs. Common causes of leaking taps include:

• Worn-Out Washers: Over time, the rubber or ceramic washers inside your tap can wear down, leading to leaks.
• Faulty O-Rings: The O-ring, which helps seal the tap, can become loose or damaged, causing water to leak from the base.
• Loose or Corroded Taps: Over time, taps can loosen or corrode, leading to leaks at the base or spout.
• Worn Valve Seats: The valve seat connects the tap to the spout, and if it becomes worn or corroded, it can cause leaks.
• High Water Pressure: Excessive water pressure can put stress on your taps, leading to leaks and drips.
• Mixer Tap Issues: If you have a mixer tap, leaks can occur when the internal cartridges wear out or malfunction.

Our Leaking Tap Repair Services

At Cullen and Sons Plumbing, we offer a full range of leaking tap repair services, ensuring your taps are fixed quickly and efficiently. From simple washer replacements to full tap installations, our team has the expertise to handle any job.

Tap Washer Replacement

Worn-out washers are one of the most common causes of leaking taps. Our plumbers can replace old washers with high-quality, durable ones, ensuring your taps stop leaking and work as they should.

O-Ring and Valve Seat Repairs

If the O-ring or valve seat inside your tap is damaged or worn, we can repair or replace them to stop leaks from the tap base or spout. We’ll ensure all parts are sealed tightly to prevent future leaks.

Mixer Tap Repairs

Mixer taps combine hot and cold water, but when the internal cartridges wear out, leaks can occur. We offer mixer tap repairs and cartridge replacements to restore your tap’s full functionality and stop any leaks.

Tap Replacement

If your tap is beyond repair or you’re looking to upgrade, we can install a new, modern tap. We’ll help you choose a durable and stylish option and install it quickly and professionally.

Signs You Need Tap Repairs

Leaking taps are often easy to spot, but sometimes the problem can be less obvious. Here are some common signs that you may need tap repairs:

• Constant Dripping: If water continues to drip from your tap after it’s been turned off, it’s a clear sign that repairs are needed.
• Water Pooling Around the Base: Leaks from the base of the tap or beneath the handle can indicate a problem with the O-ring or valve seat.
• Stiff or Loose Handles: If the tap handle is hard to turn or feels loose, it may indicate internal wear that requires repairs.
• Higher Water Bills: A leaking tap can waste a significant amount of water over time, leading to higher bills.
• Noisy Taps: If your tap makes strange noises when turned on or off, it could indicate an internal issue that needs to be addressed.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s best to contact Cullen and Sons Plumbing for prompt tap repairs before the problem worsens.

Preventing Leaking Taps

While some leaks are inevitable, regular maintenance and proper care can help prevent leaking taps and extend their lifespan. Here are some tips to keep your taps in good condition:

1. Turn Taps Off Gently: Avoid turning taps off too tightly, as this can wear out washers and other internal parts.
2. Fix Small Leaks Early: Don’t ignore a minor drip—getting it fixed early can prevent more extensive (and expensive) damage later on.
3. Check Water Pressure: Ensure your water pressure is set to a safe level to avoid putting excess strain on your taps.
4. Regularly Inspect Taps: Check your taps for any signs of wear, corrosion, or leaks, and get them repaired as soon as issues arise.
5. Service Mixer Taps Regularly: If you have mixer taps, have them serviced regularly to keep the cartridges in good working condition.
