Two Decades Of Tap & Outlet Repairs Across Toombul

Signs Your Taps And Outlets Need Attention

A dripping tap rarely stays a small problem for long. What starts as an occasional drip from a worn washer can turn into a constant trickle that wastes water around the clock and pushes up your water bill. Left unattended, a leaking mixer tap or a tap leaking at the base can send water into the cabinetry below, causing swelling, mould and costly cosmetic damage.

Other outlets bring their own warning signs. A shower mixer that won't divert properly, a wall spout dripping behind the tiles, or a garden tap that's seized shut can all point to a failing cartridge, a worn seal or corrosion inside the fitting. Low water pressure at a single tap, a stiff mixer that's hard to turn, or water hammer every time you shut off the flow are also signs that something inside the tap needs attention before it fails completely.

In older Toombul homes especially, ageing supply lines and flexi hoses are a common cause of hidden leaks inside vanities and under sinks, so it pays to have a licensed plumber take a proper look before the damage spreads.
