Question 2

Can I fix a leaking tap myself?

Accepted Answer

Replacing a washer in an older tap is possible for a competent DIYer. However, mixer taps, wall-mounted taps, and flexi hose connections involve plumbing that requires a licensed plumber under Victorian law.

How urgent is a leaking tap?

Accepted Answer

A slow drip is not an emergency but should be fixed promptly to avoid wasted water and property damage. A flexi hose leak or burst fitting is urgent — turn off the water under the sink and call us immediately.
