Topics in this guide
Leak detection
Hidden leaks waste water, raise bills, and cause damp damage long before they show. Acoustic and thermal leak detection finds them without ripping up floors.
Burst pipes
A burst pipe needs the water off and the right plumber on site fast. The longer water runs, the more damage to floors, ceilings and neighbouring apartments.
Drain blockages
Slow drains, gurgling toilets and bad smells usually mean a partial blockage in the main line or septic system. Jetting and CCTV inspection clear it and find the cause.
Water pressure problems
Low or fluctuating pressure usually means a partial blockage, a failing pressure reducer, a worn pump, or a hidden leak. Diagnosis matters — replacing the wrong part is expensive and doesn't fix it.
Water heater issues
Calentadores (gas or electric) on the Costa del Sol typically last 8–12 years. Lukewarm water, error codes, smells, or pilot-light problems all need a real diagnosis — not a replacement bought blind.
Insurance-related water damage inspections
Most home insurance claims after a leak require an independent inspection and a written report. We attend, document, and produce the report the insurer needs to process the claim.
Preventive plumbing maintenance
Annual plumbing checks cost less than one burst pipe. We inspect pressure, hoses, the calentador, drains and visible pipework, and flag what needs replacing before it fails.
