What counts as an emergency

Burst or split pipe

Often a copper pipe that's finally given way after years of hard water. Water can come fast.

Flooding indoors

Toilet overflowing, sink backing up, or water spreading across the floor.

No water at all

Sudden total loss of water — could be a valve or a supply pipe issue.

Boiler leaking heavily

Water pouring or dripping fast from the unit. Shut the water off if you can reach it.

Ceiling or wall going wet

A sign something has failed above or inside — needs fast attention before the damage spreads.

Gas smell nearby

Call the gas emergency line first, then reach out to us once it's safe.

Emergencies in Riviera del Sol — what's really going on

Most homes in Riviera del Sol are 20 to 30 years old, still fitted with their original copper pipework. Hard water builds up inside those pipes for years, so a leak that seems to appear out of nowhere is usually the end of a slow process, not a random accident.

The fix once we're there is usually simple — cutting out the weak section and replacing it. What matters most right now is getting the water off fast, because that's the one thing that decides how much damage you end up with.

FAQ — emergency plumber Riviera del Sol

What's the first thing I should do?+

Turn off your main stopcock straight away — usually under the kitchen sink or in a meter box outside. That stops the water while help is on the way.

Why did this happen with no warning at all?+

It often looks sudden but isn't. Copper pipes here can scale up inside for years without any sign, then a small pinhole leak opens up all at once. The pipe was actually failing slowly the whole time.

Do I need to speak Spanish?+

No. Everything is in English — the form, the call, and the visit.

Will I get a price before anything starts?+

Yes. We agree a price before work begins. No surprises after.
