A leaking tap can be a nuisance in any home, and it can also waste a considerable amount of water over time, increasing your water bills. There are several reasons why a tap may leak, and it's essential to identify the cause to determine the best course of action for repair.
Old Washers
The washer is a small rubber component located inside the tap's valve, responsible for creating a watertight seal when the tap is turned off. Over time, the washer can become worn out or damaged, causing water to leak out. In this case, replacing the washer is usually a simple and cost-effective repair.
Valve Seat
A possible cause of a leaking tap is a corroded or damaged valve seat. If the valve seat becomes corroded or damaged, it can prevent the washer from creating a proper seal, leading to a leak.
Damaged Faucet
The faucet is the visible part of the tap that you turn to control the water flow. If the faucet becomes damaged or worn out, it can cause water to leak out of the tap. In some cases, replacing the entire faucet may be necessary to stop the leak.
Water Pressure
Water pressure can also cause a tap to leak. When it's is too high, it can put excess strain on the tap's internal components, causing them to wear out or become damaged over time. If we suspect that this is causing your tap to leak, it may be necessary to install a reduction valve to regulate the water force and prevent further damage.
The most common causes include worn-out washers, O-rings, or valve seats, a faulty cartridge or ceramic disc, loose or damaged parts, or high water pressure. In some cases, a leaking tap may also be due to corrosion or mineral build-up inside the tap.
A leaking tap can waste a significant amount of water, increasing your water bills and causing damage to your property over time. In addition, the constant drip can be annoying and disrupt your daily routine. If left unrepaired, a leaking tap can also lead to further damage to the tap and the surrounding fixtures, resulting in more expensive repairs.
A dripping tap can lead to serious consequences over time. A leaking tap wastes water, which not only increases your utility bills but also contributes to water scarcity. Additionally, it can cause damage to the surrounding area, such as water stains or mould growth, which can be hazardous to your health.
While some people may attempt to fix a faulty tap themselves, it is often best to call a professional plumber. A plumber can quickly and effectively identify the cause of the leak and provide a lasting solution. Attempting to remove a tap handle and fix a leaking tap yourself can lead to further damage to the tap or surrounding fixtures, resulting in more expensive repairs.
Just left us a star review
Had a broken hot water heater at our apartment and contacted several places for help/quote. Chris and his team are the most approachable, professional and reliable among all of them. Highly recommended and will refer if any friend is looking for good plumbing service.
My neighbour recommended these guys for a blocked drain. They showed up fast and fixed the issue promptly. Truly impressive service!
Professional and friendly plumbers. Resolved our issues with expertise. Would definitely call again!
TERRIBLE SERVICE . Owner advised there is a gas leak and left without fixing it. Charged $300 for 10 minutes. Did not fix issue or provide a refund. Will be taking them to VCAT. Don't waste your time with these unqualified plumbers.
Christian was able to help us with our blocked drains. He was prompt, very thorough and great to deal with. He took the time to talk us through the underlying issue. We cannot thank Christian enough. Without a doubt I would get Christian and Melbourne Plumbing Co to help me with my next plumbing issue
Found my water heater is not working and contacted Chris for help in the morning. He immediately ordered a brand new one and resolved all the problems for me straight away. Also, when heโs fixing for me, he found that thereโs water leaking of my neighborโs water pipes at the same time. Heโs a life saver for both of us now! Thank you so much Chris!
I called Christian and he was amazing. He was in the area and dropped past straight away in between another job. He found an issue which another plumber hadn't. He is very genuine and took the time to investigate thoroughly and explain what the issues were in a polite manner. Would definitely recommend and will be using him whenever I need a plumber in future.
Good experience, came within the hour, found and fixed the problem in less then an hour. Was able to use the plumbing immediately and fixed a few other small problems around the house.
Every helpful and made it easy to understand what they where doing at my house would recommend

Christian made the whole process really easy, and hassle free. His was one of the most reasonable quotes I got yet there didn't seem to be any corner cutting. Highly recommend.
We have been using Melbourne Plumbing Co. for over 2 years, William and the team have always been amazing to deal with, on time and professional. Our hot water service broke on a Friday and William came that day to look at it for us and we had a new hot water system installed on Saturday morning - limiting our time without hot water. William always gives good advice and written quotes before any work is done and we trust him 100%. So nice to have found reliable plumbers!
Chris and his team have done a fabulous and professional job moving and installing new plumbing and appliances for our new kitchen. The job was completed ahead of schedule to an excellent standard!Communication and responsiveness were both excellent.What we appreciated the most was the diligence and care that was shown towards our kitchen space when installing the sink, tap, oven and dishwasher after the cabinetry and stone was installed. This is a rare trait and one to be applauded.We would have no hesitation in hiring Chris and his team from Melbourne Plumbing Co and we will do so again when we tackle our bathroom and laundry.With thanks,Catherine and Mark
Had a problem with my toilet late on a Saturday evening, was very prompt and was here within the hour. Also was honest enough to half the quote because of the work that was needed, cheers mate👍🏻

Competent plumbers ..job completed successfullyโฆvery considerate and thoughtful re moving around inside and outside the property.., the invoice was reflective of the job required. They will be used again
The guys were great. There were 2 new toilets,new shower suite and new faucets installed. All done professionally with smiles and provided work updates as it all progressed. Their work area was always left clean. These new installations were required because of my hip issues. Melbourne plumbing were aware and helped me select the products for my needs. Christian was informative and patient. Also wanted to mention that I love my new rain shower with handle. It makes showering so much easier as do the new toilets and faucets. I highly recommend Melbourne Plumbing for not only the plumbing and installation, but also for assisting in choosing the right products for my bathroom. Yes I highly recommend Melbourne Plumbing.
Thank you to Aaron for attending to this minor couple of jobs so promptly. Great communication and very polite, clean and efficient. Will definitely make use of this company again.
Fantastic service. I needed an issue with my hot water fixed and then asked about another issue I had with my gas stove. They fixed it on the spot saving me a second call out fee. Very grateful.

Ruptured copper water pipe in shower (brick walls). Excellent service from Melbourne Plumbing Co this morning. Every element of the experience was good. My phone call was answered quickly and the job was scheduled immediately. The plumber arrived on time and did the work speedily and thoroughly. This was an urgent job as water had been turned off. I highly recommend this plumbing company.
Unprofessional, made booking, cancelled 1 hour before booking time, contacted back 30mins later to assist with electrician work, then they says organised other work.
Arrived promptly, was kind and easy to work with and did the job efficiently.
Had a burst pipe on New Years day. The team contacted me back on the day to do the emergency repair ASAP. Professional, fast, and very accommodating (as it was a public holiday and they still came out). Highly recommended and would contact Melbourne Plumbing Co again.
