Why are my taps leaking?

There are a few reasons your taps may be leaking, such as: Cartridges are meant to regulate the flow of the water from the tap. These can become damaged or generally wear out with age. If the water pressure in your building becomes too high, it will cause the pipes to become backed up with water, allowing water to start leaking out of the taps. The valve seat is the highly vulnerable piece that is supposed to seal off the tap. When these corrode or wear out, leakage occurs.
