Non-destructive firstSan Pedro de AlcántaraEnglish speaking

Leak detection in San Pedro de Alcántara.

Damp patch, high bill, or a meter that keeps moving — we find it and send you clear photos, wherever you're managing the property from.

Tip: check your meter with everything off. If it's still moving, that's a leak.

Signs you might have a hidden leak

Water meter moving with everything off

The most reliable sign of a leak somewhere in your system.

Damp or discoloured patch on a wall

Especially one that keeps coming back after painting over it.

Unexplained jump in your water bill

If usage hasn't changed but the bill has, a leak is a likely cause.

A patch of unusually green garden

On villa plots, can point to a leak in an underground supply or irrigation pipe.

Warm patch on the floor

May point to a leak in a hot water pipe running beneath it.

Low water pressure with no obvious cause

A leak elsewhere in the system can reduce pressure at your taps.

Leaks in San Pedro de Alcántara — what to expect

A leak in an unattended or infrequently-visited property can run for a surprisingly long time before anyone notices — especially with holiday-let properties near the beach that sit empty for stretches. If you're managing a San Pedro property from abroad, a jump in the water bill is often the first real warning sign.

We start with non-destructive methods — pressure testing and listening equipment — before considering opening up a wall or floor. Once confirmed, you'll get clear photos and an explanation before we agree anything.

FAQ — leak detection San Pedro de Alcántara

I manage this property from another country. Can you keep me in the loop?+

Yes, this is a regular part of what we do here. We'll send you photos of what we find and a plain explanation before agreeing any price with you.

How do I know if I have a hidden leak?+

The clearest sign is your water meter moving with everything switched off. A damp patch that keeps returning, or a bill that's jumped for no reason, are also strong signs.

Will you need to break through walls or floors?+

Not always — we try to narrow down the location first using pressure testing and listening equipment before any opening-up work.

Could it be my irrigation system near Guadalmina?+

It's worth checking separately if you have a garden irrigation system, since a leak there won't always show up inside the house.
