Plumber covering Dubai & Sharjah. Leaks, heaters, pressure. Ask me before you rip out a wall.

Our Meadows villa is around 20 years old and the water tanks (the roof one and the underground one) are the originals. We get them cleaned, but I'm starting to wonder: - Beyond cl…
Our Al Barari villa has the full works outside — a couple of fountains, a pond-style water feature in the planting, and irrigation everywhere. In this heat the feature water goes…
We've moved into our first villa and realised the water isn't just straight off the mains — there's an underground tank and a tank on the roof. Coming from an apartment I never th…
After the plumber replaced a valve yesterday, our water ran brown/rusty for a bit and then cleared. This morning it came out slightly cloudy/milky again from the cold tap. Is this…
The water tank on our villa roof keeps overflowing — there's a constant trickle (sometimes a stream) running out of a pipe and across the roof, and our water bill has crept up. It…
Our older Springs villa has an unexplained jump in the water bill and a patch of floor tile in the hallway that feels slightly warm and damp. No visible leak anywhere. I'm worried…
The waste-disposal unit under our kitchen sink has jammed (it just hums, or does nothing) and it's started to smell. I'd rather not call someone out if it's a simple fix. How do I…
Just went through our first proper Dubai summer and I'm baffled: the cold tap runs genuinely hot — sometimes hotter than the hot tap for the first minute — and the "cold" shower i…
I buy and do up older Dubai villas, and I've realised I don't actually know what the water pipes in the walls are made of — some look like green plastic, others are copper. Two qu…
The National Center of Meteorology has been forecasting convective rain, dust-raising winds up to around 45km/h and near-50°C heat across parts of the UAE this week. We've had mon…
Our tap water is hard — scale on everything, and honestly we don't love the taste, so we buy a lot of bottled water. Someone suggested a whole-home RO system; someone else said ju…
Our Emirates Hills villa has a pool plus a lot of outdoor water — irrigation, water features, outside taps. Lately: the pool circulation feels weak, we seem to be topping up more…
We're in an established Jumeirah Islands villa and a few plumbing things are surfacing, the water heater's clearly original, pressure varies, and I'm not sure when the water tank…
We're in a newer Dubai Hills villa and assumed plumbing wouldn't be an issue given the age, but a few things have shown up, a mixer dripping, pressure that varies, and I'm not sur…
As a landlord with a couple of villas I keep getting asked about the water tanks and honestly I don't know the right interval. How often does a domestic water tank actually need c…
We're in an established Arabian Ranches villa and I'm realising the plumbing is a two-part job here: the house side (the water heater is clearly original, some pressure variation,…
I look after a couple of older apartments in Al Qusais and the plumbing is a recurring headache: the water pressure varies, there is obvious scaling on taps and the heater, and a…
We're in one of the older Meadows villas and while everyone talks about the AC on these Emaar homes, I'm finding the plumbing is what actually keeps cropping up, a bit of pressure…
I know water tanks are supposed to be cleaned periodically but ours just gets forgotten because you never see it. How do you actually TELL when it genuinely needs doing, rather th…
Our Karama flat is in an older building and we get a run of small plumbing annoyances, the odd drain smell, a couple of slow drains, and water pressure that isn't great and varies…
