Bathroom wall opened to repair a water leak

Water leak repair in the Eixample.

In the Eixample we stop the leak at its source, not just the stain: damaged section replaced, system pressure-tested and finish restored.

When should you suspect a leak?

  • Meter turning with everything off
  • Damp patch on a ceiling or wall
  • Water bill higher than usual
  • Loose tiles or a swollen floor

What the leak repair includes

  • Finding the leak

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

  • Minimal opening up

    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.

Water leaks in the Eixample: where they usually are

In older buildings, a damp patch on the ceiling can come from the flat above, a buried waste pipe or the shared stack. Before opening anything we check your plumbing, and the neighbour's if needed, and tell you plainly whose repair it is (especially in La Dreta de l'Eixample and L'Antiga Esquerra de l'Eixample).

In showers and baths, many leaks come not from the pipe but from the trap, the waste valve or a failed silicone joint. We flood-test each part separately and only lift the tray or tiles once it is clear the fault lies underneath.

A site manager organises the plumber and the builder, we protect furniture and floors, and everything is left clean when we finish. We also come out to the surrounding areas: Gràcia, Sant Martí and Ciutat Vella.

Frequently asked questions

01

Water leak repair in the Eixample: which areas do you cover?

We work in the Eixample in areas such as La Dreta de l'Eixample, L'Antiga Esquerra de l'Eixample, La Nova Esquerra de l'Eixample, Sant Antoni, La Sagrada Família and El Fort Pienc, and also nearby: Gràcia, Sant Martí and Ciutat Vella.

02

How 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.

03

The 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.

04

What 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.
