Water Leak Repair in Loures

About our service in Loures

On properties with land, the pipe between the meter at the boundary and the house is usually the weak point, simply because it is long, old and out of sight. Water escaping from it sinks into the soil and leaves almost nothing to find: no puddle, no stain, just a meter that keeps turning and, sometimes, pressure at the kitchen tap that has slowly become disappointing. Outdoor taps and garden lines add to it, since a dripping standpipe at the far end of a plot is not something anybody passes every day. Where a tank and pump feed the house, a pump that starts by itself in a quiet house is the clearest signal that the system is losing water. Before digging we narrow the position. We isolate the run at the meter and at the house to confirm which section will not hold, then listen along the line to place the escape as tightly as the ground allows. On old buried pipe we are straightforward about the limits: heavy or stony ground can leave us with a zone rather than an exact point, and in that case we open one place to confirm rather than trenching the whole run on an assumption. That approach keeps the excavation and the reinstatement to a minimum. In the urban parishes the work is different but the method is the same. Flats in Sacavém and Moscavide have chased pipework and shared columns, so a fault shows up on a neighbour's ceiling and we test to establish where it started, leaving the question of cost to the condomínio and the insurers. Whatever the property, the first step you can take is the same: close the mains valve — in a house it is normally in the meter box at the boundary, in a flat under the kitchen sink — and open a tap. We travel out across the municipality Monday to Saturday, and when the earliest genuine slot is tomorrow morning we say so. The quote depends on the length of the run, the ground or surface above it and how much has to be opened, with no obligation.
