Leaking pipe — Alicante, Valencian Community
A leaking pipe can cause water damage to walls, floors, and ceilings if left unchecked. Even a small drip wastes water and raises your utility bill. A licensed plumber can locate the leak, assess the damage, and repair or replace the affected section.
Waarom dit veel voorkomt in Alicante
Alicante's rapid post-Franco construction boom produced large amounts of housing with PVC and copper plumbing that is now 40–50 years old and prone to joint failure. The city's hard calcareous Mediterranean water causes severe limescale buildup in water heaters and boilers, requiring more frequent descaling than inland Spain. Sea-facing properties experience salt corrosion in exposed copper fittings and valve bodies.
