Plumbing leaks are one of the most common — and most expensive — problems in UAE homes, precisely because they're easy to ignore until the damage is done.
Simple checks that save money
Every couple of months, look under sinks and behind the washing machine for damp patches or a musty smell. Check that taps close fully without dripping, and that the seal around the bath and shower isn't cracked or peeling.
A quick way to spot a hidden leak: note your water meter reading, avoid using any water for an hour, then check it again. If it has moved, water is escaping somewhere.
When to call us
Low water pressure, a running toilet, a slow drain or a stain spreading on a wall or ceiling are all worth a same-day look. Fixing a joint or seal early costs a fraction of repairing water-damaged cabinetry and plaster later.
