Upgrade Your Home with New Taps

Upgrading your home’s taps is a splendid way to enhance its aesthetic appeal. A beautiful, modern tap helps in upgrading the overall look of your kitchen or bathroom.

Replacing old taps can significantly improve your home’s water efficiency. New, modern models are designed to minimise water wastage, saving you money on utility bills.

  • Unique Designs: New taps come in a variety of styles and finishes, allowing homeowners to personalise their spaces.
  • Advanced Functionality: Modern taps often feature new technologies such as touchless operation or built-in water filters.
  • Durable Materials: Contemporary taps are usually made from sturdy materials like brass or stainless steel for long-lasting use.
  • Easier Maintenance: Many modern taps are easier to clean and maintain due to their anti-spot and anti-rust features.

Whether it’s a dripping tap or a tap that needs replacement, professional plumbers can assure a prompt and efficient service.

Hiring a professional plumber also ensures correct installation, preventing possible leaks which can lead to extensive water damage if not addressed properly.

How to Detect a Tap Leak

Before fixing a leak, you need to determine where the water is oozing from. Leaks around the spout’s base need different remedial action compared to drips from the spout’s end.

Once you’ve identified the source of the leak, turn off your water supply. Shut-off valves are typically under the sink. If these valves fail or aren’t present, you’ll need to shut the main water valve of your home.

After shutting off the water, open the tap to relieve water pressure and confirm that no more water is flowing. Be sure to cover your sink drain with strainer baskets or rags so as not lose any small parts down the drain.

It’s important to remember the orientation and order of parts as you remove them. A digital camera can be useful for recording each step so that reassembly is easier.

“Remembering how your tap was assembled will make reassembling it much easier.”

When all parts are removed, inspect the valve’s interior for deteriorated gaskets or mineral deposits. Use a cloth or soft nylon pad for cleaning up.

If mineral deposits are stubborn, soak them in vinegar. Slow water flow can sometimes be a result of blocked holes in the body of your tap.

To clean these out, use a small screwdriver or penknife. Before re-assembling, run some water through your tap to flush out any debris which may have been loosened during cleaning and inspection.

After reassembling, open up your shutoff valves slowly and let some water flow freely through your tap until all air bubbles are gone.

If you notice slow water flow, it might be due to a clogged aerator – simply unscrew and clean it out.

Tap Installation from Our Plumbing Experts

One common error during tap installation is not turning off the water supply beforehand. Therefore, ensure you shut off the main water supply to avoid any mess.

Another critical step is to carefully remove the existing tap. Disconnect the water supply lines and drain before removal. If it’s stuck or corroded, using a special tool may be necessary.

Selecting a New Tap

Consider a tap style and finish to match your sink and kitchen decor when choosing a new tap. The market offers various models – single-handle, two-handle, or touchless.

Proper Installation Techniques

While installing the new tap, observe the manufacturer’s instructions. Securely fasten the tap to the sink utilizing the furnished mounting hardware. Tighten mounting nuts by hand in a star pattern for secure installation.

Ensure all connections are secure and watertight. To prevent leaks, use a wrench to tighten connections in a clockwise direction and check by running water through the tap.

Final Touches for Installation

To achieve a professional finish, apply bathroom and kitchen caulk to seal the tap base to the sink. This prevents water from seeping underneath.

Finally, test the installed tap under normal operating conditions. Check for proper functioning and absence of leaks. Call an expert if unsure during any installation stage.

Choosing the Right Tools for the Job

Choosing Right Tools Job

Which air compressor should I use?

You might require an air compressor for various tasks like roofing or rust removal. Stationary compressors are great for prolonged use while portable ones offer convenience for moving around.

What’s the importance of owning different types of wrenches?

Wrenches come in various styles suited to different tasks. Adjustable, combination, and basin wrenches each serve unique purposes, making them handy tools to have.

How does a tape measure assist in plumbing tasks?

A tape measure enables you to take measurements quickly. With auto-lock and high visibility blades, it’s suitable for both small and large projects.

How to maintain my tools effectively?

Tool storage is important for safety and transport. Whether it’s a rolling tool chest or a lockable jobsite box, they protect your tools from the elements.

What safety measures should I take while working?

Safety is paramount on any job. Individual protective gear, including safety glasses, hearing protection, and work boots can help prevent injuries when working on plumbing tasks.

Why should I opt for cordless power tools?

Cordless power tools offer flexibility on the job site. With items like cordless nail guns replacing traditional pneumatic nailers, your mobility improves significantly.

What type of hammer is best suited for plumbing jobs?

Selecting a hammer depends on the task. A curved claw hammer is suitable for general use such as removing nails, whereas rubber mallets are ideal for more delicate work.

How important is light while working?

Good lighting is crucial while working. Using flashlights, headlamps or standing lights provide bright LED illumination in dim spaces, making the work easier and safer.
