Water Tap/Faucet Installation, Replacement & Repair Services Near You

Singapore is an amazing city with lovely citizens! But the frequent plumbing issues are distressing these happy people. Leakage, rust, broken or clogged parts, and other concerns are a regular concern across the city. So, they (or you can call them sufferers) are into changing or repairing water taps or faucets to get a free flow of safe water. 

GCA says Singapore currently uses about 1.95 billion liters of water per day, as PUB estimates. PUB also claims that 45% of water is used for domestic purposes and 55% for non-domestic purposes. So, these numbers suggest an increased chance of plumbing problems, specifically water faucet problems.

Now, we have a question for you: Do you want to repair or replace the water tap yourself? Then, there might be a chance of leaks, improper fittings, and inefficient water flow. You may also not have the advanced tools and techniques to diagnose the issue.

In this case, Li Fong Handyman – a professional faucet service, can maintain the functionality and reliability of your household water fixtures.

When you choose professional services over DIY approaches, you can save time, prevent possible damage, and maintain compliance with the local plumbing standards. So, why don’t you call us today?

Type of Water Tap and Faucet

If you want a water tap replacement, you will find a lot of variations in its design, shape, color, and aesthetics. For instance, some faucets are good for the kitchen, some for the bathroom, and some for matching the surroundings. Here’s a quick look at the types of water taps and faucet:

Singe-Hole Faucets

These water taps combine the spout and handle into one unit. They can be used for smaller sinks or countertops with limited space. Likewise, single-hole faucets are easier to clean and maintain. 

Center-Set Faucets

A single-unit faucet with handles spaced 4 inches apart is known as a center-set faucet. Center-set faucets are usually suitable for bathrooms. Plus, you can easily install them with the spout and handles by mounting on a single base.

Widespread Faucets

A widespread water faucet has three components: hot and cold water handles and the spout. This structure offers installation flexibility, as you can place the handles and spout anywhere from 6″ to 16″ apart. So, you can consider them for larger sinks. 

Wall-Mounted Faucets

You can install these taps directly into the wall above the sink rather than on the countertop or sink itself. These taps are mostly popular for their contemporary and minimalist designs.

The above are major types of water taps or faucets. Below are some other types depending on their applications. 

Bidet Faucets

When you visit hotels around the world, you may see people using bidets for personal refreshments. Bidet faucets are specifically designed for bidets and have adjustable temperature and pressure settings.

Shower Faucets

These faucets are quite the same as center-set faucets. You can find showerheads and control valves for regulating water temperature and flow in these taps. Additionally, there are options for basic single-head models to advanced multi-function systems with rain showerheads, body sprays, and hand showers.

Two-Way Faucets

Dual outlets of 2-way faucets allow water to flow in two different directions or to two separate fixtures. Often, they are used in kitchens with a main spout and a side sprayer. They are also used in bathrooms with a combination faucet and shower system.

One-Way Faucets

Like their names, one-way taps provide a single stream of water. They can be used in simpler, more straightforward applications like utility sinks or basic bathroom setups.

Kitchen & Bathroom Sink Faucets

Kitchen sink faucets are for busy kitchens at homes, restaurants, or hotels. Similarly, bathroom sink taps are good for bathrooms. These faucets come in various styles, including pull-down, pull-out, and commercial styles, with features like sprayers, soap dispensers, and pot fillers. 

Smart and Touchless Faucets

Smart faucets allow hands-free operation. They may include features like water temperature control and usage monitoring. Alternatively, touchless faucets use sensors to activate water flow. They offer better hygiene by reducing contact with the fixture.

Reasons for Leaking Taps – Why May You Get Leaking Faucets? 

Faucet leakage is a common plumbing problem. It may happen for multiple underlying reasons. If not treated on time, leaks may cause further damage and water wastage. 

Here are some causes of leaking faucets or taps:

Worn-Out Seals or Washers

The frequent use of faucets and water’s mineral deposits can deteriorate rubber seals or washers inside the faucet. This deterioration can cause water to leak from the base of the faucet or around the handles.

Loose Parts

A water tap may have various components, such as nuts, bolts, and O-rings. These may become loose over time, which can lead to water leaks. 

Loose Handles

Besides the parts, faucet handles may also become loose and start dripping water over time. If you do not cure it soon, leaks may get worse gradually, which may require a replacement item.

High Water Pressure

Excessive water pressure can stress the internal components of the faucet, causing it to wear out more quickly and causing leaks or even damage. 

Corrosion or Mineral Build-Up

Hard water contains minerals that cause corrosion and affect the proper functioning of the internal parts. Indeed, corrosion causes leaks and reduces water flow through the faucet.

Improper Installation

You may have installed the tap yourself or hired a random plumber. If the installation is not done correctly or the seals are not properly tightened, water leaks may appear over time. 

Aged Faucet

Over time, aged faucets wear out naturally and gain leakages. Mostly, rust causes these taps to be damaged and make space for water drips.
