Common plumbing emergencies in Calpe homes
In many homes across Calpe and the Costa Blanca, a small plumbing issue can quickly become more serious if it is not handled properly. A hidden leak behind a wall, a blocked drain, or a damaged pipe can lead to damp, mould, damaged flooring, ceiling stains or higher water bills.
You should treat the situation as urgent if water is spreading, sewage is backing up, the problem affects the safety of the property, or you cannot use an essential system such as toilets, showers, heating or hot water.
Typical plumbing emergencies include:
- Burst pipes or cracked pipework
- Serious water leaks inside the property
- Overflowing toilets, sinks or showers
- Blocked drains with wastewater backing up
- Flooding in kitchens, bathrooms, basements or utility rooms
- Sudden loss of water pressure
- No hot water
- Boiler pressure problems
- Water leaking close to electrical sockets, lights or appliances
- Strong sewage smells or several blocked drains at the same time
- Suspected gas leaks
For non-urgent repairs, maintenance or installations, 100% Plumbing also provides general plumbing services in Calpe and the Costa Blanca.
What should you do before the emergency plumber arrives?
Before the plumber arrives, turn off the main water supply if it is safe to do so. This can help reduce water damage while you wait for professional assistance.
Move furniture, rugs, electrical items and valuables away from the affected area. Avoid using sockets, switches or appliances near standing water. If there is water near electricity, stay away from the area and do not take risks.
If the problem involves your hot water system, boiler or heating, avoid trying to restart the system repeatedly. Repeated resets can sometimes make the fault worse or hide the real cause of the problem. For issues with cylinders, boilers or hot water supply, you can find more information about our hot water systems and repairs.
