Water Leak Repair in Carcavelos

Carcavelos lives partly outdoors, and its plumbing shows it. Houses near the beach and around Sassoeiros, Rana and Lombos have outside taps, garden hoses and outdoor showers that get used hard through the summer and then sit ignored through the winter. Add a large rented population — families near the international schools, students, seasonal tenants — and you get properties where nobody has a long memory of the pipework. We work in Carcavelos on hidden leak detection and repair, Monday to Saturday from 9am to 8pm, closed on Sunday, and we treat a leak that is actively wetting a building as a priority job.

About our service in Carcavelos

The outdoor fittings are the first place we look in this part of the coast. An outside tap that has been left half open with a hose attached will pass water for months without anyone noticing, since the ground drains and there is nothing to see. Outdoor showers are worse, because the supply pipe often runs a short way underground before it reaches the riser, and a split there simply wets the sand. If your meter is moving with the house closed up, walk the outside of the property before assuming the problem is indoors. In rented flats the difficulty is usually knowledge rather than plumbing. A tenant who has been there a few months does not know which pipe was replaced, where the isolating valves are or whether the bathroom has ever leaked before, and the landlord is often not local. We deal with this constantly: we ask for a meter reading, photographs of the wet area and of the cupboard under the sink, and we report back to whoever is paying with a clear description of what we found. If the tenant is the one on site, we keep them informed too — it is their home while the work happens. One more thing worth knowing here: salt, sand and hard water between them are hard on seals. Mixer cartridges grind, cistern valves stop seating and hose unions corrode at the thread, so slow weeping fittings are common. Those are quick jobs and we would rather change the part than keep tightening it. We are on the road across Carcavelos Monday to Saturday, 9am to 8pm, and if the first realistic slot for a non-urgent job is the following morning we say so rather than keeping you waiting in. Before we arrive, closing the mains valve — usually in the meter box by the gate, or under the kitchen sink in a flat — stops the loss. Access, pipe material and how much has to be opened decide the quote, and it comes with no obligation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions we get from Carcavelos:

I rent here and the leak is not my doing. Can I still call you?

Yes, and it is often the fastest way to stop the damage. We can deal with the landlord or the agent about the work and the quote while keeping you informed on site. If the leak is active we would always rather isolate it first and settle the paperwork afterwards.

Could an outside tap or hose really move the meter that much?

It can, because nothing marks the ground and nobody hears it. A tap left slightly open with a hose fitted, or a split in a buried outdoor line, runs continuously. Walk the outside of the house with everything indoors closed and watch the meter — if it keeps turning, the loss is likely to be out there.

The shower mixer drips constantly. Is that worth calling someone about?

It is, both for the water and for what a constant drip does to the tray seal and the grout underneath. In this area cartridges wear quickly because of scale and salt, and replacing the cartridge or the mixer is a short job. We check the isolating valves at the same time, since they usually suffer as well.
