FAQs
What should I do first when I discover a burst pipe in my Athens property?
Immediately close the main water stopcock, usually located near the water meter, to halt the flow. If water is near electrical sockets, switch off the electricity at the fuse box. Move valuables to a dry area, open faucets to drain residual water, and call our 24\/7 emergency plumbing line. Taking these steps limits damage while we are on our way.
How fast can your emergency plumbers reach me in Athens?
Because our teams are stationed in multiple districts across Athens, average response time is 30–60 minutes from your call. In peak traffic or during extreme weather we will give you a precise ETA and keep you updated until we arrive.
Are your burst pipe repair services available at night, on weekends, and during public holidays?
Yes. We operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, including Easter, Christmas, and national holidays. You will always reach a live dispatcher who can send a fully equipped plumber immediately.
How much will it cost to fix a burst pipe and do you offer transparent pricing?
Every burst pipe is different, but you will receive a clear, itemised quote before work begins. Our call-out fee covers the emergency visit and initial diagnosis; labour and materials are priced separately and explained on site. There are no hidden surcharges for nights, weekends, or holidays.
Can you assist with water damage control and insurance claims?
Along with repairing the pipe, our technicians can extract standing water, install temporary drying equipment, and issue a written report with photographs for your insurer. Many customers recover the cost of emergency plumbing through their home insurance, and we are happy to liaise directly with your loss adjuster if required.
How can I prevent future pipe bursts in my Athens home or business?
We recommend annual plumbing inspections, fitting a pressure-reducing valve if your mains pressure is high, insulating exposed pipes against winter cold, and replacing outdated galvanised or lead supply lines with modern PEX or copper. After the emergency repair we can schedule a preventative maintenance visit and provide a tailored plan.
