Leaking or dripping tap — what should you do?

Quick checks before you call

• Is the leak at the spout, the tap base, or the connection below?
• Does the tap have a working isolation valve?
• Is water reaching an outlet, electrical panel, or appliance?

What can you do?

1. Close the local valve or the main water valve if needed
2. Dry the area and place a container under the leak
3. Do not overtighten or dismantle a pressurized connection
4. Photograph the leak and contact a plumber to replace the seal or part
