You have just finished making a presentation that you have to give tomorrow. After a tiring day you are about to doze of but you just can’t have a good night sleep because of the frustrating drip, drip, drip voice coming from your bathroom tap. Nothing can be more annoying than the voice of a dripping tap. According to Sydney Water, one dripping tap can waste more than 2,000 liters of water a month.
But what can you do about it?
First of all try to find out what is causing the tap to drip. The most usual cause of a dripping tap is the worn out washer. This job can easily be done by your local plumber at a low cost. With most water authorities, only licensed plumbers can legally work on water infrastructure – and that includes all fittings and fixtures inside the home – and includes a dripping tap!
While waiting for the tap to be fixed, try these simple tricks in order to get rid of the continuous dripping voice and be assured of a good night sleep.
- Turn off the tap a bit harder than you usually do but be careful not to break it off.
- Put a sponge or a cloth in a bucket and put it under the dripping tap. This will not only soak the water but will also prevent wastage. You can use the collected later for watering the plants.
- Try moving the spout so that the water drips straight into the sinkhole. That way the drip doesn’t hit the sink but goes silently down plug hole
