Imagine you\u2019re in bed at night, you finally find the perfect spot, and you\u2019re about to drift off to sleep when\u2026 drip, drip, drip. A leaky tap can be a nightmare, and somehow you can always hear the sound of dripping water at night even if you wear earplugs. Don\u2019t worry about this; it\u2019s one of the most common household leaks. But why do taps leak?<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes it can be as ridiculous as not turning the tap off properly. But on the other hand, you may turn it off a bit too much, and the tightening of the tap might cause a leak. Another reason for faulty taps is the washer. With time, it can become worn out, in which case it\u2019ll need replacing. Unfortunately, another reason for the taps leaking is a bad installation. If your sink and taps haven\u2019t been installed correctly, especially if they\u2019re new, they will need fixing.<\/span><\/p>\n
