Leaking Taps, Pipes and Toilets

Leaking taps and toilets are common plumbing problems that can lead to wasted water and higher utility bills if left unaddressed. A leaking tap or faucet can waste a significant amount of water over time, while a leaking toilet can waste even more water and potentially lead to water damage.

Leaking taps are typically caused by worn out or damaged washers, o-rings, or seals inside the faucet. These parts can become worn over time due to regular use, which can cause water to leak out of the faucet. To fix a leaking tap, the damaged parts will need to be replaced.

Leaking toilets can be caused by a variety of issues, including a faulty flush valve, damaged flapper, or a worn-out fill valve. In some cases, the toilet may also be leaking due to a cracked or damaged tank or bowl. To diagnose and fix a leaking toilet, it’s important to identify the source of the problem and replace any damaged or faulty parts.

Both leaking taps and toilets should be repaired as soon as possible by a professional to avoid wasting water and potential damage to your home. Call Abate Plumbing on the Northern Beaches and Richard can help to diagnose and fix the issue.
