Our approach to leak detection and repair in La Nova Esquerra de l'Eixample is systematic and efficient, designed to minimise disruption and provide lasting solutions.

1. 1

   Initial Assessment & Scheduling (15-30 mins)

   Upon your call, we’ll gather details about the suspected leak. We aim to schedule an on-site visit within 60-90 minutes for urgent cases, or at your earliest convenience. Our team will confirm the appointment and provide an estimated arrival window.

2. 2

   Diagnostic Leak Detection (30-90 mins)

   Our experienced plumbers arrive equipped with specialised tools like acoustic detectors, thermal imaging cameras, and pressure testing equipment. We meticulously survey your property, identifying the precise location and cause of the leak, whether it’s within walls, under floors, or in accessible pipework.

3. 3

   Quotation & Repair Execution (60-180 mins)

   Once the issue is diagnosed, we provide a clear, itemised quote for the necessary repairs. Upon your approval, we proceed with the repair, using high-quality materials and techniques to ensure a durable fix. This might involve pipe patching, section replacement, or sealing.

4. 4

   Testing & Verification (15-30 mins)

   After the repair, we conduct thorough testing—including pressure tests and visual inspections—to confirm the leak is fully resolved and no further issues are present. We’ll also offer advice on preventing future problems.

Don't ignore the subtle (or not-so-subtle) signs of a water leak. You should contact us immediately if you notice:

• A sudden, unexplained increase in your water bill, suggesting water is escaping your system unnoticed.

• Damp patches on walls or ceilings, discolouration, or peeling paint, which are clear indicators of moisture ingress.

• The sound of running water when all taps are turned off, pointing to an active leak within the pipes.

• Musty or mouldy odours, especially in bathrooms, kitchens, or basements, often signalling hidden moisture build-up.

• Reduced water pressure throughout your property, which can be caused by a significant pipe leak.

We prioritise durability and reliability in all our leak repair services. For pipe repairs, we commonly work with robust materials such as copper, PEX (cross-linked polyethylene), and PVC, chosen based on the specific application and existing pipework. For fittings and joints, we use high-grade sealants and compression fittings designed to withstand water pressure and temperature fluctuations. While we adapt to existing systems, we often recommend and use components from reputable manufacturers like Uponor for PEX systems, and Viega for their reliable copper and press-fit solutions when replacements or upgrades are needed. Our commitment is to use materials that ensure a long-lasting, watertight seal, preventing recurrence of leaks.

The cost of leak detection and repair can vary significantly depending on the complexity of the issue. Our price range of €46–€594 reflects this variability. A basic call-out fee and initial diagnostic work might fall at the lower end, typically for easily accessible minor leaks. More complex situations, such as those requiring extensive pipe tracing, opening up walls or floors, or significant pipe replacement using premium materials, will naturally incur higher costs. The median price of around €320 often represents a common scenario involving moderate repair work. All quotes are provided upfront after an assessment, ensuring transparency.
