When a stop tap is faulty, it can have a knock-on effect that isn’t always obvious until you need it. This is because the stop tap is the entry point for water getting into your house. If it is faulty, it can make repairing other plumbing problems in your house a nightmare. It is not something an average DIY enthusiast can tackle. Property fix can repair or replace with minimum fuss so you can go about your day, safe in the knowledge that expertise has been applied to the problem.

What is a Stop tap?

Stop taps are a tap for water into your property all the water entering the building travels through this tap. This allows the water flow to be completely turned off, a feature that is essential for any kind of repair or maintenance work to be carried out in the building. Even a relatively simple job like replacing a bathroom tap would result in lots of water damage if the water was in full flow when the tap was removed!

Faulty Stop tap

There are two main ways a stop cock can go faulty. The least obvious of those ways is an internal problem that causes the stop tap to fail to prevent water flow when the tap is closed. This problem would not be noticeable until someone attempted to turn the water flow off. The good news is this problem doesn’t typically cause damage or inconvenience when it occurs. The bad news is you won’t know your taps faulty until you need to use it. Property fix have plenty of experience in replacing and repairing.

Leaking

The other main way in which a stop tap can be an issue is when it leaks. When a stop cock leaks, it can cause water damage in your home. In serious cases, it can also reduce the water pressure to your building, but that probably won’t be your main concern should that happen. Property fix are available so don’t panic.
