The entire leak detection process takes between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on the complexity of the installation. Subsequent repair depends on the type of pipe: copper with soldering, multilayer with press fittings, PER with mechanical accessories. In 80% of cases, the entire intervention (detection + repair + final testing) is completed within a 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 reopening the stopcocks reveals accumulated weaknesses. If you have left the house closed for four or five months, the first opening should be done slowly, monitoring the meter. We repair many types of leaks: exposed copper pipes in kitchens and bathrooms; flexible connections under the sink or basin; dripping taps due to the spindle or cartridge; stopcocks leaking at the bushing; downpipes filtering at the joints; meters leaking at the valve itself; boilers and water heaters with internal leaks; and poorly insulated communal tanks.

The water hardness in the area is very high. Limescale crystallises in the weakest joints of the installation, especially in elbows and copper connections soldered without specific descaling agent. We see this particularly in blocks from the 80s and 90s in Torrevieja and Punta Prima where the original installations have never been reviewed. The solution is not just to repair the specific leak; we always recommend checking nearby joints as they are usually in a similar state. The other underestimated economic factor is the water bill. A leak of 1 mm diameter can continuously consume 30-40 litres per hour. Over a month, that's over 25 cubic metres lost, which, on the municipal bill in the area, translates to an extra 50-90 euros just for water lost within the wall. A small leak in a concealed pipe might seem like a minor problem on a Monday morning. But if you ignore it for four days, the damage to furniture, flooring, and walls can cost ten times more than the original repair. We see this every week in Torrevieja, Orihuela Costa, Guardamar.

Yes, if the model requires it and the wall material allows it. We use specific plugs for concrete, brick, plasterboard, or tile as appropriate. The total timeframe is 2-4 days, depending on kitchen size. We recommend planning ahead because kitchens have long delivery times (4-8 weeks at IKEA, up to 12 in some stores) and it's advisable to have the handyman booked before the materials arrive. It depends on the model and complexity. A simple bookcase is more economical than a three-section wardrobe. We provide a fixed quote after inspecting the furniture.

The price of acoustic insulation in La Font de la Guatlla typically ranges between 153 and 2000 euros. The final figure depends on the property's condition, the materials, and the working time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. If the leak reappears at the same spot within 30 days, we revisit at no extra cost. Yes, it's free and without obligation. A preliminary visit to measure and check the condition of the walls. A detailed itemised quote will be provided within 24-48 hours.
