Water Leak Repair in Sintra

About our service in Sintra

The first job in a Sintra property is usually to establish whether water is escaping at all. That is what the meter is for: close every tap and outlet, including the garden and any tank filling valve, and watch it. Movement means a real loss on your side of the meter and gives us something to hunt. A still meter, with damp walls, points somewhere else entirely — condensation on cold stone, or moisture drawn up through a wall — and that is a job for a moisture survey, not for a plumber opening a chase. We would rather tell you that than sell you a repair that changes nothing. When the loss is real, the buried sections take the longest to place. On quintas and larger plots the supply may run a long way underground before reaching the house, sometimes to a tank and pump rather than straight to the taps. A leak on that run shows itself indirectly: pressure that drops in the afternoon, a pump that starts when the house is empty, a tank that never seems to fill. We isolate branch by branch and use acoustic listening to narrow the position before anything is dug. On old pipe under stone or heavy ground, the honest description of the result is a zone rather than a point, and we open one place to confirm. Indoors, the frequent faults are ordinary: a cistern that runs constantly, a float valve on a tank that has stopped closing, corroded joints where a bathroom was added into an older layout. Those are straightforward once found. We are out across Sintra Monday to Saturday, 9am to 8pm, closed on Sunday, and if the realistic first appointment is tomorrow morning we say tomorrow morning. Meanwhile, find the mains valve — commonly in a box by the gate or beside the tank — and closing it stops the loss. The quote depends on the length of the run, the ground or wall to be opened, and the pipe material, and it comes with no obligation.
