When it comes to fixing Shower Leaks, we at North Rocks Plumbing understand that time is of the essence. These issues can arise at any point of time, and when they do, it’s natural for you to want them fixed without delay. While this can’t be considered as plumbing emergencies, a leaky tap, or shower is a waste of water. If it’s a sink that’s leaking, it can damage the flooring in the room and will result in mildew and mould growth in the area under the sink. This makes it important to get the issue fixed without delay.
When our plumbers come over to your location to attend to the Shower, Sink and Tap Leaks, they are well trained to identify whether servicing the tap will serve the purpose or a complete replacement will be necessary. In case the tap fitting is older, it’s best not to try to service the tap; a replacement becomes a much better option. The reason is that in most instances, just servicing the shower, taps or the sink joints doesn’t really result in a perfect operation and a new tap or shower fitting will perform better and last longer. In the long term, cutting corners becomes more costly too.
Shower, Sink and Tap Leaks – Expert Plumbing Job
When our plumber is installing the new tapware, he will also expertly replace the black & white washers that come with the fitting, with high-quality hydro seal washers. These are made of brass and have o-rings as their rubber. Every time the tapware is replaced, the face seat set will be re-seated with the use of a re-seating tool. This provides the perfect space for the hydro seal washer to fit in.
One of the other advantages to replacing the tap is that the labour involved is almost the same as servicing it. This also saves you time and around ½ an hour in labour costs. In most instances, this accounts for a larger percentage of the cost of the new tapware purchase. In case you have Shower, Sink and Tap Leaks in your home, you simply have to call us and speak with our plumbing consultants. They will provide you with the best solutions and advice.
