Step 1: Turn Off the Water Supply
Step 2: Disassemble the Tap

One slow dripping tap can have you using an extra 9,000 litres of water a year. When you notice a leak, it’s time to take action. Contact Network Plumbing – the expert leaking tap plumber Sydney homeowners rely on – for a full assessment before the water pressure or water damage takes hold. A simple phone call could get your tap fixed before any significant damage is done. We are on call 24 hours a day!

Sydney Leaking Tap & Toilet Repairs Services
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 in Sydney 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 overturn 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.
Ignoring small leaks or water stains could be signs of hidden water leaks, which, if left unchecked, may lead to costly water damage and repairs. When it comes to plumbing maintenance, simply being observant and periodically checking these areas can help you avoid nasty surprises in the future.

The service was engaging and professional in all regards.
Trent arrived on time and after digging around where my wet patch in the back garden was, he was able to locate the specific area, but not the leak itself and is returning on Monday with the leak detector to finalise the repair.
Ryan Banner is the best!

Frequently asked questions
Do you have more burning questions about leaking taps, a blocked toilet or your plumbing system? Here are some plumbing solutions.
Stopping a dripping tap usually involves replacing worn internal components such as washers, O-rings, cartridges, or ceramic discs. The exact fix depends on the tap type and age.
While some drips look minor, ongoing leaks often indicate internal wear that needs proper inspection to prevent further damage or water waste.
You don’t always need a plumber for very simple tap issues, but many leaks are caused by internal components that require correct tools, parts, and experience to replace properly.
If the tap continues dripping after basic attempts, or if it’s leaking from the base or wall, a licensed plumber ensures it’s fixed correctly and doesn’t lead to hidden damage.
Common causes include worn washers, damaged O-rings, failed cartridges, high water pressure, or general wear over time. In Sydney homes, mineral build-up and older fittings can accelerate internal wear.
Identifying the correct cause is key – replacing the wrong part often leads to continued dripping.
The cost to fix a leaky tap depends on the tap type, access, and whether parts are readily available. Some taps are quick fixes, while others require specialised components or additional work.
Rather than guessing over the phone, we assess the tap on site and explain what’s involved before proceeding.
Yes – even a slow drip can waste thousands of litres of water each year and increase water bills. Over time, leaks can also damage fixtures, cabinetry, or internal pipework.
Fixing a dripping tap early is usually quick and prevents larger issues later.
A leaking stop tap can become urgent if it’s actively dripping, difficult to turn, or leaking near walls or cabinetry. Stop taps are critical control points – if they fail, isolating water during an emergency becomes difficult.
Having a leaking stop tap assessed early helps avoid bigger problems later.
No, while washers are common in older taps, many modern taps use cartridges or ceramic discs. Replacing a washer in the wrong tap type won’t fix the issue and can cause further leaks.
Correct identification of the tap mechanism is essential.
