Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you fix a burst pipe in Athlone?

We treat burst pipes as emergencies. Our team can typically reach Athlone within 30-60 minutes during business hours. We operate 24/7 for burst pipe emergencies. Call 067 071 9472 immediately.

How do you detect hidden leaks in Athlone buildings?

We use advanced electronic and acoustic leak detection equipment that finds leaks behind walls, under floors, and in underground supply lines without breaking anything open. This is especially valuable in Athlone's older multi-storey buildings.

How much does leak detection cost in Athlone?

Leak detection costs depend on complexity and access. We provide upfront pricing after the initial assessment. The cost of detection is far less than the water damage and wasted water an unfound leak causes -- especially given Athlone's water tariffs.

Should I replace old galvanised pipes in my Athlone property?

If your Athlone property still has original galvanised iron pipes, we strongly recommend repiping. These pipes corrode internally, reduce water pressure, and eventually burst. Modern copper or PEX piping lasts decades longer.

What should I do if a pipe bursts in my home?

Turn off your main water supply immediately, then call us on 067 071 9472. If water is near electrical outlets, also switch off electricity at the main board. We will be there as fast as possible.
