Leaks are serious — we find the cause and fix it right
A leak is rarely “just a little water”. Even a slow drip can, over time, cause moisture damage, odors, swelling materials and costly consequences. That’s why acting early pays off — but just as important is making the fix correct so the problem doesn’t come back.
We help homeowners and businesses in the Falkenberg municipality with troubleshooting and repair of leaks in water lines, fittings, taps, WC units, hot‑water heaters and other plumbing installations. Sometimes the leak is obvious, but often the symptoms are indirect: moisture in cabinets, discoloration, dropping pressure, pipe noises, or hot water running out faster than usual. That’s when a methodical diagnosis is needed to find the root cause.
Our focus is to stop the leak, reduce the risk of secondary damage and leave a solution that lasts. We work carefully with the right fittings, sealing methods and material choices, and we ensure the installation is service‑friendly going forward. When relevant, we provide preventive advice — for example shut‑off valves, drip protection, wet‑room checks or how to spot early warning signs.
We’re based in Ätran and take assignments across the Falkenberg municipality. Describe what you see and where it is — and if you can, attach a photo — so we can plan correctly from the start.

Common questions about leaks
Start by limiting the damage. Place a bucket/towels where the water is coming from, and if possible shut off the water at the nearest valve (e.g., under the sink) or at the main shut‑off if you can’t locate the leak.
If it’s leaking near electrical components, in a wall/floor, or in a wet room, be extra careful. Water and electricity are a bad combination, and it may be safer to cut power to the affected area if you feel unsure.
Wipe up visible water as best you can and ventilate the area. The faster the surface dries, the lower the risk of secondary damage.
Get in touch with a short description of where it leaks and whether it drips constantly or only sometimes — then we can guide you on the right next step.
A drip may feel small, but over time it becomes a lot of water. The issue isn’t only the volume — it’s water entering materials that don’t dry out: chipboard, joints, walls and floors.
Long‑term moisture can cause swelling, discoloration, odors and in the worst case mold. In kitchens and bathrooms, water can also end up hidden behind cabinets or under floors where you don’t see the damage until it’s significant.
The key is this: if you see recurring moisture or drips, deal with it early. Often the fix is simple when handled in time.
We help you assess the situation and fix the cause — not just the symptoms.
Common spots are under the sink (connections to tap/dishwasher), at the WC (connections or seals), at hot‑water heaters, and at older valves or pipe joints.
Showers/mixers can also leak — sometimes visibly as drips, sometimes as moisture that sneaks behind waterproofing or into the wall. Outdoors, taps and pipes in unheated spaces are extra vulnerable, especially in cold weather.
Sometimes it’s not a “crack” but a dried seal, an incorrectly installed fitting, or something that has shifted over time.
We locate the leak and make a fix that fits the installation’s age and conditions.
Yes — and that’s what makes leaks tricky. You may have a small leak that only shows as a damp patch, faint odor, bubbling paint, warped flooring, or a cabinet that always feels damp.
Another sign can be dropping pressure in a heating system (if it’s heat/underfloor heating) or needing to top up water often. Sometimes you also hear hissing/gurgling in pipes or see the water meter move even when everything is off.
If you suspect a hidden leak, act early. The sooner it’s found, the lower the risk of secondary damage.
We can help with troubleshooting and provide a clear plan for the next steps.
We start by asking the right questions and looking at symptoms: where moisture appears, when it occurs, whether it’s linked to water use, and how the installation is set up.
Often leaks are found through careful visual inspection of fittings, valves, taps, connections and drip protection — especially in kitchens, laundry rooms and bathrooms. We also assess whether it’s condensation versus a real leak.
When needed, we isolate parts of the system by closing valves and observing the effect. In heating systems we can also look at pressure drops and behavior over time.
The goal is not to “guess” but to be confident about the cause before making a permanent fix.
After a replacement, leaks can be caused by small things with big impact: a seal sitting crooked, a fitting tightened with the wrong torque, a worn valve that doesn’t seal once disturbed, or a hose that’s twisted/under tension.
Sometimes a new installation also reveals an old underlying issue. When you start using a valve that has been untouched for years, it can suddenly begin to drip.
That’s why correct assembly, proper sealing and a final check after running the water are important.
We work so connections are secure and service‑friendly, and we check for tightness before we leave.
It’s common for a safety valve to release a small amount of water, especially when water heats and expands. Occasional drips during heating can be normal.
But if it runs continuously, if the amount is significant, or if it drips even when the heater isn’t heating, it may indicate a problem — such as a valve that doesn’t seal, too high pressure or an expansion issue.
It’s also important that the safety valve has proper drainage and that dripping doesn’t damage cabinets or floors.
We can check what’s normal in your specific installation and fix anything that’s off.
Yes, especially if the leak is on the pressurized side and ongoing. You might notice weaker pressure at taps, a booster/pump working more than usual, or hot water running out faster.
In heating systems, a leak often shows as dropping pressure and frequent top‑ups. It’s important to find the cause because refilling introduces oxygen, which can create more issues over time.
But not every pressure drop is a leak — sometimes it’s clogged filters, a faulty pressure‑reducing valve or other issues. That’s why troubleshooting matters.
We help you determine what’s what and fix the right thing.
There are products that can stop a drip temporarily, but they rarely solve the root cause. In the worst case they make a proper repair harder later, or hide a leak so damage continues unseen.
A temporary fix can be okay if you need to buy time to reduce dripping, but the goal should always be a proper repair: the right seal, the right fitting, the right pipe part — and a long‑term safe installation.
If you’re unsure, shut off the water where you can and get in touch. It’s often cheaper to fix it right early than to repair secondary damage.
We can guide you to safe first steps and schedule the repair.
Tell us where the leak is (kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, technical room, outdoors), and whether you see dripping clearly or only notice moisture. Also say whether it drips constantly or only when you use water (e.g., when the dishwasher runs or when you shower).
If you can, mention how long it’s been going on and if anything changed recently (new tap, new appliance, renovation, power outage, pressure issues). That helps narrow the likely causes.
Photos are gold — especially of fittings under the sink, around the WC, at the water heater, or of moisture patches. That often lets us plan correctly and bring the right parts.
The better the input, the faster we can reach a durable solution that minimizes the risk of secondary damage.
