The worst thing about leaking taps and dripping pipes is just how deceptive they are. A drop or two a minute hardly seems like a pressing problem when you’ve got a busy life to get on with. It’s a problem, but it can be tomorrow’s problem.
But that quiet voice in the back of your head knows that a drip can turn into a burst pipe, leading to a flood that results in tens of thousands of dollars worth of damages. That voice is right. And the fix could be as quick and cheap as replacing a loose washer.
As a leading full-service plumber, our licensed technicians can diagnose and service all of your leaking tap issues. Most of the time, the leak will be caused by a loosened fitting. Every now and then, though, it’s a symptom of a deeper problem.
Trust us on this: fixing a bad job costs more than doing a good one. No matter how small the issue may be or how quick the fix is, we always use premium tools and replacement parts to ensure your new or repaired taps function correctly for years to come.
Today’s taps are technological marvels. Designed to withstand the demands of commercial use or to add luxury to suburban homes, and manufactured from premium materials with stunning finishes, many taps require a specialist to service them. But even your garden-variety garden taps deserve an expert’s finesse.
If we cannot repair your dripped taps, we can help you order and install new ones.
We can repair everything from run-of-the-mill laundry taps to touchpad-operated filtered water taps.
Dripping garden taps and sprinklers can be tricky to fix without damaging your garden. We’ll get it done.
If your leak turns into a torrent, turn off the water from the mains and give us a call. We’ll be there soon.
Our parents raised us better than to leave a mess (and as a family-owned business, we know they’re always watching). You can trust us to remain mindful of the safety and comfort of your site, staff, clients and loved ones.

Inner City Plumbing has been a family-owned operation since the mid-90s. We reckon our family bonds are the secret to our decades-long success; we get to work with our loved ones and support each other as we grow and develop our expertise.
As you can imagine, plumbing isn’t always a pretty business, but it is always a pleasure. We’ve seen some pretty extraordinary things in our time — and it’s not all horror stories. Next time we’re over, ask us about the wedding ring we found under forty years’ worth of waste.
A leaking tap isn’t as apparent as you think it is. Depending on how often the tap is used and how heavy the leak is, you may not see or hear the drip at all. Here are some of the less obvious signs of a dripping tap:
