The Cost of Brisbane’s Leaking Taps and Toilets

Leaking Taps

Tap and toilet repairs around Brisbane aren’t a joking matter. The sound of that dripping tap late at night can be unbearable, costing you precious sleep and money. Worse, a leaking hot tap will cost you both of those as well as the additional electricity to heat that wasted water. A slow drip can waste up to 1 litre of water per hour equating to approximately one bathtub of lost water per week.

Got a leaking tap? Call the professionals at Salmon Plumbing North Brisbane to get it fixed right. It will help you save on water and save on your power bill too.
