Dripping taps and hidden leaks are common in Footscray's mixed housing stock. The heritage terraces along Barkly Street and Nicholson Street often have original brass tapware with worn washers and corroded seats. Newer apartments around Footscray Station and Hopkins Street develop ceramic cartridge failures and flexi-hose leaks.
A single dripping tap wastes over 20,000 litres per year. We carry a full range of washers, cartridges, O-rings and ceramic discs on the van so most tap repairs in Footscray are completed in a single visit - no waiting for parts.
For burst pipes in Footscray, we respond 24/7. We isolate the supply, minimise water damage, repair or replace the failed section, and provide insurance documentation. Galvanised pipes in older Footscray homes are particularly prone to corrosion bursts during winter.
We also handle hidden leak detection - those mysterious high water bills often trace back to leaking toilets, under-slab pipe failures or concealed pipe joints. We use pressure testing and systematic isolation to find the source without unnecessary demolition.
Need new tapware? We supply and install WELS-rated water-saving taps and modern mixer taps for kitchens and bathrooms. Every installation comes with our Lifetime workmanship warranty.
Serving Footscray, Seddon, Yarraville, West Footscray, Kingsville and Maidstone. See our full tap repair services or call for same-day service.
