What does a plumber do?

Plumbers replace taps, mixer taps and toilet cisterns, install sinks and toilets, unblock drains, find and fix water leaks and renew water supply and waste pipes. Connecting washing machines and dishwashers, installing electric water heaters and preparing the plumbing for a bathroom renovation are also part of the job.

A simple tap replacement is quick, while finding and fixing a leak inside a wall can take longer. The more clearly you describe the problem in your request, the better prepared the plumber will be.

Why do leaks and blockages happen?

Aging pipes, loose connections, limescale and worn seals are common causes of leaks. Damp patches on walls or ceilings, bubbling paint, a musty smell and a water bill that rises for no reason can be signs of a hidden leak.

Blockages are mostly caused by grease, hair, soap residue and objects accidentally flushed or dropped into drains. Blockages that keep coming back can point to a deeper problem with the pipe slope or the main line.

What to do in an emergency

When you notice a leak, first turn off the main water valve. If water is reaching sockets or appliances, switch off the relevant breaker and keep away from the area.

Try to collect the water to prevent damage to your downstairs neighbor, and take photos of where the leak is. These photos help you explain the problem to the plumber and can be useful for a home insurance claim.

What affects the price, and how do you choose a reliable plumber?

The price depends on the type of job, where the leak is and how hard it is to find, whether walls or tiles need to be broken and the quality of materials. Jobs that need special equipment, such as camera or device-based leak detection, may be charged separately. It is important to ask in advance whether replacing broken tiles is included in the price. Keep in mind that the same tile may not be available anymore.

Check the plumber's reviews and rating, and ask whether they have done a similar job before. Agree the scope of work in writing, including everything to be broken and repaired, and the price.

Ask whether they give a labor warranty and which brands of materials they use. Asking for an invoice (fatura) after payment matters so you can use your consumer rights if a problem comes up later.

Simple tips to prevent plumbing problems

Not pouring grease down sinks and using strainers that catch hair and food scraps reduces the risk of blockages. Not flushing wet wipes, cotton pads and similar items down the toilet also extends the life of the drains.

Making sure everyone at home knows where the main water valve is saves time during a leak. If you will be away for a long time, turning off the valve can stop an unnoticed leak from turning into major damage. Protecting outdoor pipes from freezing in winter also helps.
