Dripping tap: More Than Just a Leaky Washer!

Last updated on: November 15, 2013 By Kaylene Filed Under: Home Maintenance, Taps 1 Comment

Dripping Tap - Tips for Reseating a Tap Washer - The Links SiteWater is precious so when the tap in my bathroom began dripping I decided that I needed to change the washers.

 

So I turned off the water at the mains, removed the tap and replaced the worn washers. I thought that this would be the end of the story but when I turned the water back on at the mains the drip was still there!

 

I decided to go online and see what else could be causing the problem and found out that my tap might need reseating. This is when calcium and corrosion build up in the tap and prevent it from closing off tightly.

 

I found the links below very helpful in guiding me on what I should do and soon the leaky tap was fixed!

    I had a similar issue when I tried to fix my kitchen sink last month. I replaced the whole fixture, but it still continues to leak. Now I’m wishing that I had called a plumber to begin with. A plumber can diagnose and fix an issue much easier than you’ll be able to on your own.
