How to Fix a Leaky Tap: Tap Repairs Made Easy with Enriched Plumbing & Gas
There’s nothing more frustrating than a dripping tap keeping you awake at night — and beyond the annoyance, that constant drip can waste thousands of litres of water every year. At Enriched Plumbing & Gas, we know how important it is to catch plumbing issues early and fix them properly.
Common Signs You Need a Tap Repair
If you’ve noticed any of the following, it’s time to take action:
Constant dripping from your tap
Stiff or hard-to-turn handles
Unusual noises when the tap is running
Water leaking from the base or under the sink
These are all signs of a worn washer, O-ring, valve seat, or even corrosion inside the tap body.
