Property Plumbing Maintenance

While we might only notice our plumbing when things aren't working properly, house plumbing maintenance is an essential part of preventing problems like a leaking shower, a dripping tap or a toilet repair that you just can't put off any longer.

Much like your car, your house requires general plumbing maintenance from time to time. However, there are several areas homeowners should keep in mind when it comes to plumbing maintenance.

• Check all taps inside the home, run your finger around the base of your tap to check for any excess water
• Open the cupboard under the sink to check for any pooling of water
• Notice the inside of your sink, looking for water stains
• Do not over turn your tap, this will wear the washer faster than necessary
• Be mindful of washing machines and their connection at the back of the machine
• Don't forget outside, check hoses and external taps.

When it comes to plumbing maintenance, simply being observant and periodically checking these areas should bypass any nasty surprises in the future.

1. Turn off your water supply
2. Plug the sink or bath
3. Assess where the water leak is coming from -

If the water is still dripping from the tap after the water supply has been turned off, you'll need to replace the jumper valve.

If the leaking is coming from between the body of the tap and the spindle this indicates you'll need to replace the O-ring.
