How to Troubleshoot a Leaky Faucet and When to Call a Professional

If not fixed right away, a leaky tap can be a bothersome and expensive issue. The following procedures can be used to fix a leaky tap:

Cut off the water supply: Cut off the water supply to the tap before you begin troubleshooting. By doing this, you can work on the tap without worrying about water leaking.

There are four different types of faucets: ball, compression, ceramic disc, and cartridge. Different methods must be used for each type of leak to be fixed.

Once the type of tap and the problematic component have been determined, you can replace it. For popular tap varieties, replacement parts are typically available at hardware stores.

Reassemble the tap: After the replacement component has been installed, reassemble the tap and restart the water supply. In order to check for leaks, turn on the tap.

It might be time to call a licenced plumber if you have tried these troubleshooting techniques and the tap is still dripping or if you are unclear of what to do next. A certified plumber will have the skills and equipment required to accurately diagnose and address the issue.

Additionally, it’s crucial to call a qualified plumber right away if the leak is severe or if you notice water damage near the tap. Delaying repairs could cause your plumbing to become even more damaged and result in more expensive repairs down the road.
