Leaking Taps
Professional Leaking Tap and Faucet Repair Services for Your Home
A leaking tap is more than a minor annoyance. It usually means a worn or failing internal part that needs attention. Even small drips can waste water, raise utility bills, and put extra strain on your plumbing over time. At Reliable Pipe Repair Sewer and Drain Cleaning Inc., we provide professional tap and faucet repair services that fix the issue at its source. Our plumbers identify the exact cause and deliver lasting solutions that restore proper function and stop leaks for good.
What Causes Taps and Faucets to Leak?
Most tap leaks do not happen overnight. They usually develop gradually as internal parts wear down from daily use. Faucets rely on several components to control water flow and pressure, and when one begins to fail, leaks can appear.
Common causes of leaking taps include:
Worn rubber washers that no longer create a proper seal
Damaged or dried-out O-rings inside the faucet assembly
Failing cartridges in modern single-handle taps
Loose or worn valve seats that allow water to pass through
Mineral buildup from hard water that interferes with proper closure
Corrosion inside older fixtures or plumbing connections.
Our Process of Leak Tap Repair in Hawthorne
Initial Inspection and Leak Check
We inspect the tap, handles, spout, and base, then check surrounding areas like under-sink pipes, shut-off valves, and cabinet floors for any signs of hidden leaking or water damage.
Diagnose the Real Cause
We determine the actual cause of failure, such as a washer, O-ring, cartridge, valve seat, or loose internal connection. When necessary, we also check water pressure, as high pressure can exacerbate existing leaks or cause new ones to return.
Repair Plan
Before any work begins, we explain to our customers what we found, what needs to be fixed, and what the repair involves. If there are multiple options, we walk you through the pros and cons of each so you can make an informed decision.
Professional Repair with Quality Parts
For repairable faucets, we replace worn or damaged parts using durable, compatible components. We fit seals correctly, secure valves to proper tightness, and ensure everything is aligned so the faucet shuts off cleanly and operates smoothly.
Replacement When Repair is Not the Best Option
If the faucet is too worn, corroded, leaking from the body, or the parts are no longer available, we recommend replacement. We help you choose the right type of faucet based on your needs, budget, water pressure, and existing plumbing connections.
Correct Installation and Final Testing
After fixing or replacing the tap, we test it carefully. We look for leaks under the sink and around the tap, make sure the water flows properly, check that the hot and cold water work, and ensure the faucet shuts off completely before we leave.
Emergency Leaking Tap Repairs Available 24/7
A leaking tap may start small, but when left unattended, it can lead to bigger problems inside your home. Constant moisture creates the right conditions for mold growth under sinks and around fixtures. Over time, leaks can also cause discoloration on cabinets, walls, and countertops, as well as weaken surrounding materials.
Because these issues develop gradually and often out of sight, leaking taps should be addressed as soon as they appear. That is why we offer 24/7 emergency leaking tap repair services. If a tap is continuously leaking or worsening, we are available to respond quickly, stop the issue at its source, and help prevent further damage to your home.
