How to Stop Water Flow from Broken Tap?

To stop water flow from a broken tap, find the reason behind it first. Sometimes a broken or loose ring causes the water to flow through the tap; sometimes the damaged or worn-out cartridges lead to it. So at first, try to locate the problem. But to stop the water leakage:

• You will need to turn off the main water supply valve.

• Next, look for the local shut-off valve, usually beneath or near the sink.

• I would suggest you turn the local shut-off valve clockwise until tightly closed.

• If no local valve exists, use the main shut-off valve for the entire property.

• Once this is done, look at the fixtures and change it if needed

• Turn on the main water supply again and check whether it is working or not

This is just a basic suggestion on how to stop water tap leakage. In our case, we checked that the washer on the tap needed to be changed. But if you feel it is a tough task, seek a plumber’s aid.
