Leaking Taps Chermside

TRG Plumbing's licensed and insured plumbers repair leaking and dripping taps throughout Chermside, an established suburb roughly 9.8 km north of the Brisbane CBD. The post-war Housing Commission homes that fill Chermside's streets were fitted with brass jumper-valve taps, often on galvanised or copper pipework that has been corroding for decades, and many now have seats too worn for a new washer to seal. The modern apartments around Westfield Chermside and Prince Charles Hospital, and the knock-down-rebuilds replacing older cottages, use ceramic-cartridge mixers that fail in their own way. From Gympie Road to Rode Road, we repair the tap properly or replace it with quality fittings.

Our Chermside Leaking Taps Services Include:

Dripping kitchen and bathroom taps:
Replacing washers and O-rings and reseating the tap body so kitchen, basin and laundry taps in your Chermside home stop dripping.
Leaking mixer taps:
Replacing worn ceramic cartridges and seals in the mixers fitted through Chermside's new apartments and rebuilt homes.
Leaking shower taps and bath spouts:
Repairing shower taps and bath spouts, including the original wall sets in the bathrooms of Chermside's post-war cottages.
Leaks at the spindle or base of the tap:
Renewing spindle O-rings and packing or replacing the spindle when water weeps from the handle or the base of the tap.
Leaking outdoor and garden taps:
Repairing or replacing outdoor and garden taps on Chermside's established lots, including those on corroded galvanised risers.
Tap replacement and upgrades:
Upgrading tired tapware to new WELS-rated mixers or matching sets when renovating an older Chermside home.

We contacted TRG the night prior and received immediate contact. Their team was on-site within 36 hours and completed a very tricky job of installing a new Water heater in a tight loft space to replace one that was leaking and causing damage. They perform their duties with great professionalism and quality work, on time and to the exact quote they stated. I would use them again and encourage anyone else to use them also. Ian

NO MORE PROBLEMS

CALL US ANYTIME, DAY OR NIGHT

Is a dripping basin tap, a leaking shower or a weeping garden tap at your Chermside home wasting water every day?

Worn Brass Taps in Chermside's Post-War Homes

The jumper-valve taps in Chermside's Housing Commission cottages were made to be serviced, but after seventy years of washer changes the brass seat is usually pitted, so a new washer only stops the drip for a few weeks. We reseat the tap with the proper tool, fit new washers and O-rings and, where the body is beyond saving, replace the set.

Mixer Taps in Chermside's New Apartments

The apartments around Westfield Chermside and the hospital precinct, and the knock-down-rebuilds across the suburb, run single-lever mixers on a ceramic cartridge. A stiff lever, a drip from the spout or water at the base means the cartridge or seals have failed. We carry cartridges for the common brands and usually repair a mixer in one visit, or replace it if the body is damaged.

Garden Taps and Old Risers in Chermside

Chermside's established lots often still have a garden tap on the original galvanised riser, and the suburb's undulating ground adds movement that stresses old joints. A drip at the tap can hide a weeping connection below it that keeps the soil wet against the house. We replace the tap, check the riser and renew the feed pipe if needed so the repair lasts.

Leaking Taps Chermside FAQ

Practical answers for Chermside residents dealing with dripping, leaking or seized taps in post-war cottages, rebuilt homes and new apartments.

How much water does a dripping tap waste?

A tap dripping once a second wastes thousands of litres over a year, and one running in a thin stream far more. For a Chermside household with a couple of bathrooms, a laundry and a garden tap, a few small drips add a surprising amount to the quarterly water bill.

Can I fix a leaking tap myself, or do I need a licensed plumber in Chermside?

In Queensland, changing a washer is about the limit for a homeowner; anything beyond that must be done by a licensed plumber. If a new washer has not stopped the drip, or the leak is at the spindle or base, call us rather than keep tightening the handle and wearing the seat further.

Do you repair mixer taps in Chermside?

Yes. We replace ceramic cartridges, seals and spouts on mixers from the major brands, which covers most tapware in Chermside's new apartments and rebuilt homes. If the mixer body is cracked or corroded we recommend a replacement and can usually fit it on the same visit.

Why does my shower still drip after I changed the washer?

Almost always because the brass seat inside the tap body is worn or scored, so the new washer cannot seal against it. This is very common in the original bathrooms of Chermside's post-war cottages. Reseating the tap, or replacing the spindle and seat, fixes it properly.

Can a leaking tap damage my Chermside home?

Yes. A shower tap leaking inside the wall wets framing and lifts tiles before anything shows, and a dripping garden tap on an old riser keeps the ground wet against the footings of a post-war home. Fixing a leak early is far cheaper than repairing the damage it causes.

Should I repair my taps or replace them?

If the tap body is sound and parts are available, a repair is quick and economical. Where the chrome is pitted, the seat cannot be recovered or the tapware is an obsolete style, a new WELS-rated set is the better long-term choice. We tell you which applies before any work starts.
