When a tap starts leaking or dripping, most people assume the washer simply needs replacing. While that can sometimes be the issue, replacing the washer is often only a temporary fix and may not address the real cause of the problem.
There are a number of underlying issues that can cause taps to leak or malfunction, including:
- Worn-out tap cartridges
- Corroded seats
- High water pressure
- Damaged O-rings or seals
- Mineral build-up inside the tap
- Loose or ageing tap components
This is why many taps continue to leak even after the washer has been replaced, or why the problem returns again shortly after being repaired.
Ignoring a leaking tap can also lead to bigger problems over time, such as:
- Increased water bills from ongoing water wastage
- Damage to cabinetry, benchtops, or walls
- Mould and moisture issues
- Reduced water pressure
- More expensive plumbing repairs in the future
