Dripping tap and other plumbing repairs in Geelong

Having a dripping tap can be frustrating, often unnoticed during the day but it’s at night when it can be annoying. Luckily it is actually quite easy to repair a leaking tap, however without the proper knowledge and tools it is best to use a qualified plumber to get the job done.
There are a few reasons why a tap can start to drip.

• Tap Washer - Tap washers are used to create a seal when you turn the tap off. Because taps are frequently used, sometimes daily, tap washers can wear over time.This is a main cause for a dripping or leaking tap.
• Valve Seating - A valve seating is what the tap washer pushes up against. They need to be smooth to create a seal with the washer. They can become worn and this means there is a gap between the seating and the washer, allowing water to trickle down. 
• O Ring - A small screw is used to hold the handle of the tap in place. With this screw is a small disc, known as the O ring. The O ring can become worn over time and this causes a tap to start leaking near the handle.

Geelong Best Plumbing Saves Water

With water being such a precious resource and sometimes being under water restrictions, it’s important to be aware of the condition of our plumbing. Sometimes we have had clients be unaware of a leaking tap for months, until they see the water bill. Outdoor taps don’t get as much attention as our indoor taps. However they are always out in the elements receiving scorching heat in the summer and freezes mornings in the winter. These temperature fluctuations over a long period of time tend to impact heavier on plumbing. Because outdoor taps are under more stress from the environment, these means they are more susceptible to damage. A leaking tap in the garden can go unnoticed for a long time if the tap is out of the way from the regular routes we take. It’s always a good idea to regularly check on the condition of the plumbing throughout your house and garden. This can save you a lot of money on your water bill but best of all, saves water.
