Check taps for drips

Inspect each tap and note any that drip or leak.

Why it helps

A dripping tap wastes water and may point to a worn washer. Noticing it early makes the repair simple.

How to do it

1. Turn each tap fully off.
2. Look and listen for drips or leaks underneath.
3. Write down any that need repair.

Make it easier

Check only the kitchen tap.

Make it harder

Tighten or fix one leaky tap.

Turn off the water supply before taking any tap apart.
