Damaged handles
Kitchen and bathroom taps are frequently used at home so its normal for it to age and wear out after some time.
Noises
While using the tap, screeching noises may indicate the washers are damaged or loosened up, some may also indicate a cracked tap or blocked pipeline.
Continuous dripping
Dripping water indicates a replacement is needed ASAP as this causes water waste and higher bills. When you apply force on closing the tap, it will further damage the washers and wears out the seal.
Reduced water pressure
Low water pressure can be a sign of residue build up or mineral deposits that may lead to rusting in pipes and affecting the water supply.
