What could be causing this?
Pipes rarely burst for no reason. These are the causes we see most in Lisbon homes.
Old galvanised pipes
Iron pipes rust from the inside for decades until a joint or a thin section gives way.
Failed flexible hose
The braided hoses under sinks and toilets perish with age and can split without warning.
High water pressure
Pressure spikes from the street supply stress joints and valves, especially in lower floors.
Worn valves and fittings
Stopcocks and valves that have not been turned for years can crack when finally used.
What to do right now, while the plumber is on the way
Simple steps to limit the damage
- 1
Close the main water valve
Usually next to the water meter — on the landing, in a cupboard by the door or under the kitchen sink. Turn clockwise.
- 2
Switch off electricity near the water
If water is near sockets or lights, switch off that circuit at the fuse board.
- 3
Protect what you can
Move rugs and furniture, and put towels and a bucket under the leak.
