What the leak repair includes

Finding the leak
We close valves and test section by section until we find the exact point.
-

We open only the area of wall, floor or ceiling that is needed.
-
Repairing the section
We replace the damaged pipe or joint, not just the visible part.
-
Repair checked under pressure
We pressurise the system and check that the pressure holds.
-
Drying before closing
We let the area air and measure the damp before covering it.
-
Finishes restored
Tiling, plaster or paint on the opened area, matched to the rest.
How we track down a leak in Ciutat Vella
In 1960s and 70s flats in areas such as El Barri Gòtic and El Raval, leaks are usually at threaded galvanised joints, at the lead pipe next to the meter or under the shower tray. We keep to the building's working hours and give notice before shutting the riser valve.
After the repair, in homes in areas such as Sant Pere, Santa Caterina and La Ribera, we measure the moisture in the wall and only close it once it has dropped. Then we make good the plaster, tiles or paint to match and, if the stain reached the neighbour's ceiling, we can repair that too.
We come and look at the leak, explain where the water is coming from and give you a detailed written quote before opening anything. We also repair leaks in nearby areas: Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc and Sant Martí.

Frequently asked questions
01Water leak repair in Ciutat Vella: which areas do you cover?
We do this work in Ciutat Vella, in areas such as El Barri Gòtic, El Raval, Sant Pere, Santa Caterina, La Ribera and La Barceloneta, and also nearby: Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc and Sant Martí. Before starting we visit the property and prepare a detailed written quote.
02How do you find the leak without tearing the place apart?
We close valves, isolate sections and check the pressure in each one. That narrows down the area, so we only open up where the damage is.
03The stain is on my neighbour's ceiling: is the problem mine?
Not necessarily. It could come from your shower, a waste pipe or a shared soil stack. We check your installation and tell you clearly where the water is coming from.
04What should I do until you arrive?
Turn off the main stopcock and, if water is reaching sockets or appliances, switch off the power to that area. Take photos of the damp: they help us prepare the visit.
