Hi all, just need some info regarding constant dripping taps. all the taps in my friends house (bathroom+kitchen) constantly drip all day all night.

ive only just started my plumbing course so not sure if its just the washers.

any info would be great

Could be the washers or the ceramic cartridges depending on what type of taps are there. Have a look best way to learn is to try and understand how it all works.

could be cheap taps,could be de-zinkification,how old are they,could be defective seatings only way to tell is take apart and look

the taps are about 5years old, i will take apart and change washers etc and see if that resolves it, if not new set of taps required, plus iv got to put isolation valves on all taps so can do that whilst ive got them apat.
