Common Types of Plumbing Leaks

Water leakages can be a common occurrence in residential or commercial spaces in Singapore.

When left untreated for a long time, you could experience flooding. Let’s find out more about the common types of plumbing leaks and how to go about handling such situations. 

• Leaking Faucets 

This usually occurs due to a worn-out washer, which is typically installed within the tap below the handle. If you have the relevant equipment and knowledge, you can replace these with comparative ease, but do remember to close off the water supply beneath the sink at the primary shut-off valve before getting the handle out. Without any experience, what sounds like a relatively simple job can go awry. It is recommended to call up a plumbing service to have the leaky faucet looked at and repaired. 

• Toilet Leaks 

Toilet leaks can be caused by a number of reasons:  

• Wear and tear of the wax/rubber ring between the toilet base and the drainage pipe
