LEAKING TAPS

A leaking tap has several causes, most of which are simple and easy to fix, so don’t ignore that dripping faucet in your kitchen, bathroom or garden as a dripping tap wastes precious water and costs you money in the long run.



A qualified plumber from Symcorp will be able to assess the problem and discover the source of the leak. Fortunately, most leaky taps are easy and surprisingly inexpensive to fix and may be due to a problem with the compression valve or a worn washer that needs to be replaced.



WORN WASHERSThere are three different types of washers in a faucet system that may be causing the tap to leak and which may need to be replaced: O-ring Body washer Jumper valve



The tap will have to be disassembled to fit the new washers and a plumber will disconnect the main water supply in order to carry out the job. Once the washers have been replaced, water supply will be turned on and the plumber will check that the leaking has stopped.



RE-SEATING

If the tap continues to leak after one or more washers have been replaced, it may be necessary to re-seat the tap. Re-seating requires resurfacing the tap to provide the tightest seal around the washers. This is a job that can quickly and easily be accomplished by one of our plumbers.
