Pipe repair and replacement
We replace rusted steel and cast-iron pipes with polypropylene and plastic, and repair individual sections and risers.
Drips at a pipe joint, a puddle under the sink or a damp patch at the neighbours' below: a leak needs fixing fast, before it turns into a renovation in two apartments. The plumber finds the source, replaces the worn part and checks the joints.
The most vulnerable spots in an apartment are flexible hoses to faucets and the cistern, siphons, threaded joints on old steel pipes and faucet seals. Over time rubber hardens, metal corrodes and the joint starts to weep.
Hidden leaks reveal themselves through ceiling stains, a damp smell and higher readings on the water meter. Diagnosis matters here, not replacing parts at random.
We inspect all joints in the affected area, pressure-test the system if necessary and pinpoint the source. Then we replace the worn component: hose, siphon, valve stem, seals or a section of pipe.
After the repair we test the joint under pressure and leave it dry. If the leak is caused by the condition of old pipes, we say so honestly and offer options.
Close the inlet valves on the riser or the valve before the leaking fixture and place a container underneath. Do not force the thread tighter: on old pipes this often strips the thread and makes the leak worse.
If water is already reaching the neighbours, shut off the supply completely and call us. We try to arrive as fast as possible.
Prices cover a standard scope of work excluding materials. The exact price is confirmed after inspection and before work starts.
We try to come the same day, and an active leak gets priority. The exact time is agreed when you call.
Yes, we locate the section from indirect signs and a pressure test. We open the wall only at the leak and only after agreeing it with you.
Not always. Often replacing the cartridge or valve stem is enough. The plumber assesses the condition and suggests the more economical option.
The work is covered by a warranty. If the problem recurs at the same joint, we come back and fix it free of charge.
