DIY Solutions for a Leaking Tap

Plumbing Supplies in Reebok Klein Brakrivier

A leaking tap is more than just annoying; it can waste litres of water that increases your municipal bill unnecessarily. The good news is that fixing a leaking tap is often simpler than you think and Midbrak DIY Hardeware in Reebok offers everything you need to fix it. Most leaks are caused by worn or damaged internal parts within the faucet, such as washers or O-rings. Over time, these components deteriorate from constant use and water pressure.

• Replace the washer – This is the most common issue. A worn washer no longer creates a proper seal and leads to drips.
• Check and replace the O-ring – If your tap leaks around the handle, a damaged O-ring might be the culprit.
• Tighten loose parts – Sometimes, simply tightening the packing nut or other components inside the faucet stops the leak.
• Adjust water pressure – Excessive water pressure can damage taps over time. If leaks keep returning, consider installing pressure reducing valve.
