Taps We Know Well
Our plumbing team covers every tap in the house and the yard, working on the fittings common in Strathpine's 1960s and 1970s brick-veneer houses and the later townhouse complexes alike.
What Tap Work Means Here
Strathpine's detached houses went up in waves from the 1960s, when developers sold the new estates as Little Aspley, and many still carry their second or third set of fittings.
Old seats and worn washers
Original tap bodies outlast their washers several times over, so a drip in an older street is usually a seat that has been reseated once too often and now wants a new fitting.
Shared courtyards
The townhouse blocks around Dixon and Mecklem streets often put outdoor taps on shared walls, so a weeping tap there is a body corporate matter as much as a plumbing one.
Wet ground, hard life
The clay terraces along the river flats hold water for weeks after rain, and with average annual rainfall of 1,093 millimetres, an outdoor tap that leaks at the joint rarely dries out between storms.
Tap Repairs We Carry Out
From a single dripping laundry tap to a full set of new mixers, the work falls into a few clear groups:
Leaking Taps
We strip the fitting, replace the washer or cartridge, and dress or reseat the body where the seating has worn uneven, stopping the drip at its cause rather than masking it.
Mixer Tap Repairs
Cartridge mixers fail in ways washers never do, so we identify the cartridge type, swap it for a matching one, and clean the aerator so the flow runs strong again.
Tap Replacements
Where a body is past reseating, we remove the old fitting, prepare the thread and wall, and install a new tap suited to the house's period, quoted before the work begins.
Outdoor and Garden Taps
Garden taps cop full mains pressure and weather year-round, so we replace worn washers, fit new jumpers where the seat has gone, and seal the wall penetration so water stays out.
Problems Behind a Dripping Tap
Most tap faults come down to wear, but the cause decides the fix.
The Classic Drip
A washer hardened by years of hot water loses its seal, and the seat wears a groove that a new washer alone cannot bridge, so we dress it while we are in there.
A Handle That Will Not Move
Scale and corrosion bind the spindle, especially in laundries and older bathrooms, and forcing it snaps the stem, so we free the mechanism with the water isolated rather than muscle.
Water Hammer
A tap shut quickly can send a bang through the pipes, and in ageing copper that shock works at every joint, so we trace the cause and fit a hammer arrester where needed.
A Tap That Sputters
Air in the line or a partly closed isolating tap makes a mixer splutter and surge, and either points to something further back in the run that we check before touching the fitting.
Why Fixing It Matters
Water and money
A tap dripping once a second wastes thousands of litres a year, and in a mostly owner-occupied suburb that shows up on the Unitywater bill you actually read.
Damage down the track
A slow leak travels along the spout into the bench or wall cavity, and by the time the swelling shows, the job has grown from a washer into a leak detection visit.
The hose that waits
A braided flexi hose under a sink fails suddenly when past its rated life, so while we have the fitting open we check any same-age hoses and quote the ones that are due.

Tap Repair Questions Answered
Call (07) 3067 4272Why do taps in older Strathpine houses drip so often?
Because much of the housing went up through the 1960s and 1970s, many taps run on original seats and washers worn well past their service life, so reseating or replacing the fitting is the lasting fix.
Is a dripping tap in Strathpine worth fixing straight away?
Yes, because a slow drip wastes water around the clock and can stain a basin or pit a tap seat, and a repair booked now costs far less than a replacement forced by years of neglect.
Can you match a new tap to an older bathroom in Strathpine?
We can, and where an exact match is not available we suggest fittings that suit the house's period, then quote the change before any work begins so the choice stays yours.
Who is responsible for the tap between the meter and my house?
Unitywater looks after the public water mains, while every pipe and tap on the property side of the connection belongs to you, so that repair sits with the owner.
Does Strathpine's soil or water affect outdoor taps?
It can, because the gleyed terrace soils stay waterlogged for long spells and the average annual rainfall is 1,093 millimetres, so we fit taps rated for constant exposure.
