Tap Leaking? Common Causes & Quick Fixes

Dripping taps waste thousands of litres annually and can damage kitchen counters and bathroom tiles over time. In Mumbai flats, hard water accelerates washer and O-ring wear within months. Mixer taps from brands like Jaquar, Hindware, and Parryware often need cartridge replacements rather than simple washers.

Before calling a plumber, locate the isolation valve under the sink or behind the wall plate and turn off water to that tap. Tightening the handle rarely fixes a worn seat — overtightening can crack ceramic discs inside mixers.

ProFixer plumbers carry common spares, diagnose the exact model, and quote labour plus parts before work expands. Most tap repairs complete within 30–60 minutes. Book plumbing service in Mira Road, Bhayandar, or Borivali for transparent pricing and a 30-day workmanship warranty on eligible jobs.
