The entire detection process takes between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on the installation complexity. The subsequent repair depends on the pipe type: soldered copper, press-fit multilayer, or PER with mechanical fittings. In 80% of cases, the entire intervention (detection + repair + final test) is completed in a single 2-3 hour visit. Another frequent pattern: leaks that appear in the first month after returning home after the low season. Pipes inactive for months undergo thermal changes, and the pressure when turning on the taps again reveals accumulated weaknesses. If you have left the house closed for four or five months, the initial water turn-on should be done slowly while monitoring the meter. Professional equipment detection: included in the repair cost if you decide to proceed with the repair, or €60-90 if you only want the diagnosis. Simple pipe leak repair in visible pipes: €80-160. Repair requiring controlled opening of wall or floor: €180-380, including plastering and basic finishing. For complex repairs with multiple leaks or piping requiring complete section replacement, a fixed quote will be provided after an on-site diagnosis.

We repair many types of leaks. Visible copper pipes in kitchens and bathrooms. Flexible connections under sinks or basins. Dripping taps at the spindle or cartridge. Stop valves leaking at the gland. Leaking downpipes at the joints. Meters leaking from the valve itself. Boilers and water heaters with internal leaks. And poorly insulated community water tanks. The most complex case, and the one we deal with most often, is a leak in a pipe embedded in a wall or floor. Without detection equipment, the only way to locate it is by breaking through meter by metre until it's found, which devastates the property. With acoustic detection, a professional probe listens for the specific sound of water escaping under pressure and locates it within a margin of 30-50 cm. This means we open a 40x40 cm square instead of three metres of wall. Before opening anything, the plumber performs a three-phase diagnosis. First, a pressure test: all water outlets are closed, and it's checked if the meter continues to spin. If it spins with everything closed, there's a leak in the system. Second, visual and thermographic inspection with an infrared camera, which detects anomalous cold or hot spots in walls and floors. Third, an acoustic probe to pinpoint the exact location.

The water hardness in the area is very high. Limescale crystallises at the weakest joints in the system, especially at soldered copper elbows and connections made without specific deoxidiser. We see this particularly in blocks from the 80s-90s in Torrevieja and Punta Prima where the original installations have never been checked. The solution is not just to repair the specific leak; we always recommend checking nearby joints as they are often in a similar condition. Yes, free and no obligation. An initial visit to measure and check the condition of the walls. A detailed quote by item within 24-48 hours.

The price for sanitary ware installation in Cabrils typically ranges between roughly €58 and €540 as an indicative reference. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time, and we always finalise it after seeing photos or —if you prefer— after an on-site assessment, with no obligation. In the area, market prices for similar jobs are around €150; we are usually lower when the property's condition allows. If the leak reappears in the same spot within 30 days, we return at no extra cost. Yes, 30 days' guarantee on the repaired part. If the leak reappears in the same spot within this period, we will return at no extra cost.
