Leaks we deal with every week

Ceiling leaks

Usually the neighbour upstairs. We locate the source, stop it, and document everything for the insurance claim.

Under-sink and bathroom leaks

Worn seals, cracked traps, loose connections. Quick to fix — dangerous to ignore in an old Paris building.

Hidden leaks in walls or floors

Unexplained damp, a water bill that doubled. We trace the pipes and find it.

Radiator and heating leaks

Common in Haussmannian apartments with old cast-iron radiators. We repair or isolate them safely.

Frequently asked questions

What is a "dégât des eaux" and why does everyone keep saying it?

It's the French term for water damage, and it has its own standard insurance process. If water from your apartment damages a neighbour's (or vice versa), both insurers use an amicable report form. We provide the plumber's intervention report and invoice you need, and explain the process in English.

I can see the water stain but not where the leak comes from. Can you find it?

Yes. Leak detection is a standard part of the job — visual inspection, testing fixtures, and tracing pipe runs typical of Paris buildings. Once found, we tell you clearly whether it's your responsibility, a neighbour's, or the building's.

Is a small drip really worth a call-out?

A slow leak inside a wall or under a floor causes far more expensive damage over time than the repair costs — and in a rental, you may be liable if you ignored it. Call us, describe it, and we'll honestly tell you whether it can wait.

Who pays: me, my landlord, or the building?

In France, tenants generally pay for small maintenance (seals, hoses, minor fittings) while landlords pay for pipe failures and ageing installations. Shared pipes are the building's responsibility. We tell you which case yours is, so you can forward the invoice to the right person.
