Dripping Taps Glasgow
If you have dripping taps in your home, you should be able to fix them yourself if you know some plumbing basics.
-Firstly, make sure that the water is turned off at the mains.
-Next unscrew the top of the dripping tap and check under the top section which may need to be popped off with a screwdriver.
-Check the washer for any signs of decay, pitting or cracks.
-Typically a worn washer is the problem with a dripping tap.
-Simply replacing this with a new washer resolves most of these problems.
-Replace Screw and top of the tap.
If it is still leaking, you probably need to replace the tap. This is more common now as taps are made much more cheaply than before and also they are sometimes now made as a single unit.
Remember, if in doubt, call in the Professional Plumbers Glasgow for all your Plumbing and Heating work.

I never knew there were so many different types of taps. I just wanted my tap to stop dripping. Now I think I want one of these new ones that has boiling water at the turn of a tap. No more waiting on the kettle to boil. Nice. I will have a think about this and give you a call.
Way cool! Some very good plumbing points!
