  1. Follow These Steps and Get Relief from a Noisy Tap! Any kind of leaks inside your house is not only annoying but also causes wastage of water. One such disturbing leak is that of a tap. Noisy taps are considered to be really irritating. Every time you wash your hand, you have to bear with the bothersome sound. If left untreated, the matter could worsen and you might be compelled to forget using that particular basin. Fixing a tap is not a difficult job, provided you know the steps. So before you call your licensed plumber, follow these steps if you have moderately leaky tap:

  2. 1. Check the aerator- Mineral deposits are considered to one of the primary reasons for causing a noisy tap. To reach the mineral deposits and clean it, you need to remove a screen that is fixed into the tap on the tip. Opening this is easy and after doing so, you can run the tap for some time to clear the mineral deposits. If you notice there is no sound, then get a new aerator, fix it on the tap and get the former one replaced. 2. Install new washers- Washers can cause noisy taps only if they are not of the right size or are damaged. If the washers are faulty, replacing them will provide you relief from a noisy tap. First, turn off the water supply, then carefully take out the tap and remove the handles. Take out the old washers and insert the new washers that are of the right size. If you find doing this difficult, just call an expert plumber in Mandurah. 3. Insert a brake on water pressure- High water pressure is concluded to be one of the most common causes of a noisy tap. To check whether your noisy tap is due to high water pressure or not, you can use a pressure gauge to measure the water pressure. If you find your water pressure is more than 80 psi, it is obviously high and that is creating your tap menace. To control your water pressure, you can install a pressure regulator on your main water line to reduce the pressure of water. By doing so, not only will your tap stop making noises but also it will protect your plumbing system. 4. Replace your plumbing system- This definitely requires the intervention of a licensed plumber in Mandurah. If you live in an old home and noisy taps are troubling you, then you should consider getting your plumbing changed. With each passing year the pipes in your plumbing have become older and so have got blocked with debris and deposits. Such blockages have resulted in the reduced diameter of these pipes and as a result, the water pressure will also be reduced gradually. If this is the case, get your old pipes replaced with new ones and it is best to leave this in the hands of a professional plumber. Conclusion-Thus now you can live inside your house without being disturbed by such annoying noisy taps. Remember! If you are unable to detect the cause of noisy tap, it is best to get it done by a professional one rather than attempting a DIY.
