Common Tap Problems

Signs Your Taps or Outlets Need Attention

A tap that drips steadily, even when fully closed, usually points to a worn washer, a failing ceramic disc or a damaged cartridge inside the tap body. Left unchecked, this constant drip can waste a surprising amount of water over a year and leave you with a noticeably higher bill.

Stiff or hard-to-turn mixer taps, low water pressure at a single outlet, or a tap that simply won't shut off are often early warnings of a bigger issue, whether that's debris in the valve seat, a corroded spindle or a wider pressure problem in your pipework. Wall mixers and shower mixers that leak behind the tiles can be particularly deceptive, quietly causing damage inside the wall cavity long before any sign appears on the surface.

Ageing flexi hoses and supply lines are another common culprit, especially under vanities and behind washing machines, where a slow leak can go unnoticed until cabinetry or flooring starts to swell. If you've spotted any of these signs around your Sumner home or business, it's worth having a licensed plumber take a look before the damage spreads.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Your Tap & Outlet Questions Answered

      We get asked plenty of questions about tap and outlet maintenance from Sumner homeowners. Here are answers to some of the most common ones, drawn from our team's two decades of plumbing experience.

      A tap that continues to drip after being switched off tightly is almost always a sign that something inside the tap body has worn out, rather than a problem with how hard you're turning it. Older taps rely on a rubber washer that hardens and cracks over time, while modern mixer taps use a ceramic disc or cartridge that can develop scratches or debris build-up. Forcing the handle harder won't solve the underlying issue and can actually damage the tap further, so it's best to have a plumber replace the worn component.
      A slow drip adds up considerably over weeks and months, and many homeowners are surprised at how much a single leaking tap contributes to their overall water usage. Beyond the cost, a leak that's allowed to continue can also lead to water damage in cabinetry, flooring or wall cavities, which becomes a far more expensive problem to fix than the original tap repair would have been.
      In most cases, a mixer tap can be repaired rather than replaced, particularly if the body of the tap is in good condition and the issue is limited to a worn cartridge, washer or O-ring. We'll always assess whether a repair is the sensible option before recommending a full replacement, since replacing an otherwise sound mixer tap unnecessarily is rarely the best value for our customers.
      If a tap won't shut off completely, the safest first step is to locate the isolation valve under the sink or basin and turn it off to stop the flow of water while you arrange a repair. This is usually caused by a worn washer or a faulty cartridge that's no longer sealing correctly, and it's worth having it looked at promptly rather than leaving water running unnecessarily.
      Many homes throughout Sumner and the surrounding suburbs still have original tapware from decades past, and in most cases, this older style of tap can absolutely be repaired rather than replaced. Parts like washers and spindles for older tap designs are generally still available, and our plumbers are experienced with both traditional and modern tapware, so we can advise honestly on whether a repair or replacement makes more sense for your fittings.
      Outdoor hose taps, garden taps and laundry taps are just as prone to leaks, seizing and general wear as indoor tapware, often more so given their exposure to the weather. We regularly repair and replace outdoor taps, isolation valves and vacuum breakers, so if you've noticed a garden tap that's stiff, dripping or won't shut off, it's worth having it addressed alongside any indoor tap concerns.
