What can cause a tap to leak?

1. Corrosion in the valve: it is common for corrosion to occur in the valve  due to accumulation of water sediments. This would in turn cause a leak in the spout area. While you can engage a plumber to do regular maintenance, this practice is not common in Singapore.

2. Worn out O ring or washer: Both the O ring and washer can become loose or wear out from usage over time. This is one of the most common reason that causes a tap to start leaking. Improper installation or the installation of a size that is wrong can cause leakage too.

3. Broken or loose plumbing parts: thought rarely seen, a pipe with crack can affect water pressure in your home causing the tap to leak from time to time.
