Water pressure surges — Limassol, Limassol
Sudden spikes in water pressure can damage pipes, fittings, and appliances like washing machines and dishwashers. You might notice pipes banging, faucets spitting, or the water heater's relief valve dripping. A licensed plumber can test your line pressure, install or adjust a pressure-reducing valve (PRV), and check for a failing expansion tank — the three most common causes of residential pressure surges.
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).
