Leaking Tap Repairs

While a leaking tap is not on the same level as a major plumbing emergency like a burst pipe, you should attend to issues like tap replacement or washer repairs as soon as possible. Below are some of the reasons why:

• Water savings

You might not realise it, but a leaking tap that constantly drips wastes a lot of water and is likely to add significantly to your water bill.

• Structural damage

In the long term, a leaking tap can cause damage to walls, floors and ceilings and leave ugly stains behind that are difficult to get rid of. What is more, nearby floorboards and cupboards may be weakened. Depending on the extent and location of the leak, you might need to check the foundations of your home.

• Health concerns

If a tap leaks consistently to the extent that it creates a water puddle, it increases the potential for mould to grow. This can result in increased allergies or respiratory problems. Any standing water is also a potential breeding ground for mosquitoes.

• Environmental awareness

As the impact of climate change is felt globally, we become increasingly aware of the need to conserve water. Our role can be as straightforward as ensuring that all tap replacement and washer repairs are carried out when needed. This way, we all contribute to a better world for future generations.
