Leaking taps are one of the most common plumbing issues in Nairobi households...
A leaking tap may seem small, but it can waste hundreds of litres of water every month, increasing your water bill significantly.
Step 1: Turn off the main water supply.
Step 2: Remove the tap handle using a screwdriver.
Step 3: Inspect the washer and replace if worn out.
Step 4: Reassemble and test.
In Nairobi areas like Ruiru, Juja, and Westlands, mineral deposits often damage tap washers faster.
If the leak persists, it may indicate a deeper plumbing issue requiring professional help.
Conclusion: Regular maintenance prevents costly repairs and ensures efficient water usage.
