How can I fix the most common water leaks?

 

If you have a water leak in your home, there are a few ways to fix it. Here are some common water leaks and how you can fix them.

Dripping tap: how to fix it?

Dripping, dripping. What's that sound coming from your tap? Leaking taps can have various causes, but wear and tear and dirt build-up are the most common.

Open the tap and inspect the sealing ring. If you notice any dirt, you can easily remove it with a cloth. However, if you see that the tap is already damaged, it may be time to replace it. 

Leaking plastic water pipe: how do you repair it?

To repair a leaking water pipe, check where the leak is coming from. Turn off the water source and then replace the affected pipe. If you are looking for a quick fix, you can use duct tape and epoxy resin. However, if the damage is severe, you should call a plumber immediately. Instead, use rubber and a hose clamp to repair the leak while you wait for the plumber.

Leaking plastic water pipe connection: How do you fix it?

Just like repairing a water pipe, you can fix a leaking plastic pipe joint by checking the source of the leak and then turning off the water supply. If you feel competent enough, replace the affected pipe. 

Leaking shower head: how is it repaired?

The first thing to do with a leaking shower head is to turn off the water supply and remove the handle cap, handle and faceplate. Remove the safety clip and cartridge when repairing a leaking shower with a handle. Replace the cartridge and other necessary parts and test them by turning on the water supply, opening the tap and letting the water run. If you still see a leak, it's time to call in a professional plumber.

Leaking toilet floor: How to fix it?

Leaky toilets are one of the most unpleasant things to deal with, but there is often a simple solution. If the leak occurs on the floor after flushing, it could mean that the rubber seal on the floor and the bolts holding the toilet in place have started to leak.

To repair a leaking toilet floor, you will need a replacement wax ring and an adjustable spanner to loosen and tighten the bolts. But you should never have to deal with fixing a leaking toilet. Consult a professional plumber.
