What Causes a Tap to Leak?
Corrosion
Corrosion is one of the main causes of leaking taps in South Australia, especially in older plumbing systems. It is also more prevalent in coastal areas due to the salt content in the air and water. Over time, the weakened pipe material develops leaks and cracks, allowing water to leak from the tap.

Poor Installation/Material Quality
Improper installation techniques or using subpar pipe materials can result in tap leaks. Inadequate pipe fittings, insufficient sealing, or mismatched materials can lead to joint failures and leaks.
Using quality materials is essential to ensure reliable plumbing systems that minimise the risk of leaks. Regular inspections and maintenance can detect and address any installation-related issues early on, preventing potential leaks and costly water damage.

High Water Pressure
Excessive water pressure can stress pipes beyond their capacity, leading to leaking taps. In areas with inadequate pressure regulation or sudden water pressure spikes, pipes become vulnerable to ruptures. This especially happens at pipe joints and weak points. Monitoring water pressure and installing pressure regulators can help prevent this issue.
