Leaking Tap Repairs
A leaking tap may look minor but left unattended it wastes water, inflates your bill and can lead to serious property damage over time. In Perth’s climate, a single dripping tap can waste up to 2,000 litres of water per year, adding directly to your Water Corporation bill. Same Day Trades provides reliable leaking tap repairs across Perth. Our licensed plumbers handle all tap types and all causes, arriving the same day you call with the parts required to fix the problem on the spot.
Common Causes of Leaking Taps
Worn washers are the most frequent cause of leaking taps in Perth homes. Washers degrade from regular use and water pressure, causing water to push through when the tap is closed. Compression-style taps are most susceptible. A damaged valve seat is another common culprit. Sediment and corrosion build up where the tap meets the spout, causing water to leak around the spout area.
O-rings, seals and spindle nuts wear out over time, particularly in taps that see heavy daily use. High water pressure, which is common in some Perth suburbs, can accelerate wear on all internal components. In mixer and cartridge taps, the cartridge itself can degrade or crack, causing drips that cannot be stopped without replacement. Our plumbers identify the exact cause during inspection and carry the most common replacement parts on every job.
Why a Leaking Tap Needs Urgent Repair
Ignoring a leaking tap leads to costs that compound quickly. Even a slow drip can waste thousands of litres per year, pushing up your Water Corporation bill every quarter. Continuous moisture under sinks and around tap bases causes cabinet damage, floor damage and can penetrate walls over time. Mould and mildew follow wherever moisture sits unchecked, creating health risks especially for people with respiratory conditions.
A leaking tap can also signal a more serious plumbing issue such as pipe corrosion, excess water pressure or a failing fitting. Addressing the tap early often prevents the larger repair. Same Day Trades plumbers inspect the full system around the tap during every job, ensuring nothing is missed.
