  4. Strange Noises: Creaking, banging, and whistling are all indicators that your hot water system is having trouble functioning properly.

Leaking Taps: The Drip, Drip, Drip of Frustration

Posted on by Emily

We’ve all been there – lying in bed, trying to drift off to sleep, when suddenly, you hear it: the dreaded drip, drip, drip of a leaking tap. It’s enough to drive anyone crazy! But why do taps leak? And more importantly, how can we fix them?

The first thing to understand is that taps are made up of several moving parts. Over time, these parts can wear down and lose their effectiveness, leading to leaks. The most common culprits are the washer and the O-ring. The washer is a small rubber disc that sits at the base of the tap and prevents water from leaking out. The O-ring is a small rubber ring that sits on the stem of the tap and helps to create a watertight seal.

When these parts wear out, they can no longer create an effective seal, and water will begin to leak out of the tap. In some cases, the problem may be as simple as replacing the washer or O-ring. However, if the problem is more severe, it may be necessary to replace the entire tap.

That’s why it’s important to have a reputable plumber like Plan B Plumbing on hand to diagnose and fix any issues with your taps. Our team of expert plumbers has the knowledge and experience to quickly identify the problem and get your taps back to working properly in no time.

So, the next time you’re lying in bed listening to the drip, drip, drip of a leaky tap, don’t let it drive you crazy. Give Plan B Plumbing a call and let us take care of it for you!

In conclusion, leaky taps are caused by the wear and tear of the moving parts, mainly washer and O-ring, and if you want a quick and reliable solution, the best choice is to call a professional plumber, like Plan B Plumbing 1300 075 262.
