Is Your Tap Dripping, Stiff, or Won't Shut Off Properly?

Most tap problems start small. A washer wears down, a ceramic disc cartridge cracks, or an O-ring perishes, and suddenly you've got a tap leaking from the handle or dripping steadily from the spout. Left alone, that steady drip can add up to a noticeable jump in your water usage and, in older Drewvale homes with copper supply lines, can eventually lead to corrosion around the fitting.

Other issues are less obvious until they cause real damage. A wall mixer that leaks into the cavity behind the tiles, a flexi hose that weeps at the tap tail under the vanity, or a shower diverter that won't switch properly between the rose and spout can all quietly soak timber framing or cabinetry long before you notice a stain. A hard-to-turn or stiff mixer tap can also point to debris in the tap seat or a failing cartridge rather than something you can fix by simply forcing it harder.

If your outdoor tap has become difficult to turn off, your laundry tap is dripping onto the floor, or your kitchen mixer has started spitting or losing pressure, these are all signs it's time to have a licensed plumber take a proper look before the problem spreads.
