Learn how to Fix a Leak

A simple and easy plumbing budget-friendly DIY plumbing fix to an unassuming but avoidable expense, attending to a leaking tap is something simple to do (for the most part) as a cost-effective DIY home fix and will end up saving you buckets of money (and water) in the long run. Where the culprit of a leaking tap has been put down to a worn rubber washer, these can be purchased for not more than a few pennies at your local hardware store and replaced with ease in a few simple steps. The first step to replacing a worn tap washer starts with turning off your main water supply, (or stop valve if this forms part of your plumbing fitting). Carefully remove the tap handle cover and loosen the fitting using a screwdriver exposing the worn washer. Replace the old washer with the correctly sized new rubber washer and reassemble the tap fitting. Pay careful attention not to over tighten the tap fitting as this may lead to more significant damage.
