Understanding Leaking Taps

Bay City Plumbing offers a range of plumbing solutions for leaking taps in Hervey Bay homes and businesses. Leaking taps are not just a nuisance; they can also lead to increased water bills and potential water damage over time. Common causes of tap leaks include:

• Worn Washers: Over time, washers can deteriorate, leading to leaks.
• Corroded Valve Seats: Corrosion can prevent a proper seal, causing water to escape.
• Loose Parts: Components may become loose due to regular use, resulting in leaks.
• Faulty O-Rings: These rubber rings can wear out and lead to dripping.
• Temperature Changes: Extreme temperatures can cause materials to expand and contract, affecting seals.

Identifying a leaking tap early can prevent further damage and save water. Look for the following signs:

• Dripping Water: Continuous dripping from the tap, even when closed.
• Puddles: Water pooling around the base of the tap.
• Increased Water Bill: A sudden spike in your water bill may indicate a hidden leak.
• Sound of Running Water: Hearing water running when the tap is turned off.
