Discolored or rusty water — Limassol, Limassol
Brown, yellow, or rusty water coming from your taps can indicate corroding pipes, sediment buildup in the water heater, or issues with the municipal supply. While sometimes temporary after utility work, persistent discoloration may signal galvanized pipes deteriorating from the inside — a problem that worsens over time and can affect water quality and pressure. A plumber can diagnose whether the issue is in your home's plumbing or the supply side and recommend repair or repiping.
Waarom dit veel voorkomt in Limassol
Limassol's hard water (high calcium carbonate content) causes accelerated limescale buildup in water heaters and immersion systems. The high-rise towers along the seafront add pressurised riser mains and booster-pump systems that low-rise Cyprus does not have, creating specialised failure points. Cyprus licenses plumbers through the Ministry of Energy (Α/Β/Γ class).
