The tap nobody rings about
Ask most people to name the plumbing on their property and they will describe the bathroom, the kitchen and the hot water system. Almost nobody mentions the taps on the outside walls, which is odd, because those are the fittings doing the hardest work.
A garden tap lives outdoors in the weather. It gets turned by whoever happens to be using it, usually harder than it needs, and it is the first fitting on most houses to start weeping. And nobody rings about it, because it is outside and it is only dripping, so it drips for a decade.
There are two reasons to deal with it. The first is that a weeping tap wastes water continuously, and outdoors nobody notices it accumulating. It arrives as a bill rather than as a puddle.
The second is the one that matters more on this side of the suburb. A tap whose washer and seat have gone is a tap you cannot rely on, and it can seize or fail outright at exactly the moment you would want it working. That is a poor thing to discover then rather than on a quiet afternoon.
