Plumber, electrician and renovations in Molina de Segura

We trace visible and hidden leaks — in walls, floors or gardens — with detection equipment, so we only open up where necessary. On villa plots we also check the supply line and the irrigation system, two very common leak sources that usually announce themselves through a shocking water bill.

We install and replace electric water heaters and gas boilers, and repair the ones limescale has crippled. We'll tell you honestly which equipment copes best with local water and whether a softener or anti-scale filter makes financial sense for your home.

We clear sinks, toilets, downpipes and inspection chambers with machine and high-pressure water — the same drain unblocking service we run across the metro area. On planted plots, tree roots in the drains are a classic: we inspect, show you exactly where the problem is, and quote before touching anything.

Around Altorreal, La Alcayna and the other estates we maintain and repair pool plumbing — pumps, filtration, leaks in the shell or in buried pipes — plus the pressure sets and storage tanks many hillside plots rely on.

Town-centre buildings that pre-date the 2002 regulations often have boards without proper RCDs, undersized cable and half the home without earth. We rewire completely or in stages — board and kitchen first, the rest later — spreading the cost without leaving safety half-done.

Tripping RCDs, half the house without power, a burning smell from a socket: we come out, isolate the affected circuit and make it safe the same day. Electrical emergencies covered at night and on holidays too.

We issue the boletín eléctrico or CIE — the official certificate Spanish utilities require for new supply contracts, power increases or ownership changes — with a pre-check of the installation so it passes first time. Essential paperwork if you've just bought a property in Molina.

On villas we install and repair outdoor electrics: garden lighting, weatherproof sockets, pool-pump boards, gate motors and video intercoms — all with proper outdoor-rated protection, which is where we find most estate electrical faults.

The most common job in town: renewing 1980s–90s bathrooms and kitchens, in centre flats and in villas now twenty or thirty years old. We use the works to renew pipework and circuits at the same time — it's by far the cheapest moment to do it.

For whole flats and villas we offer a turnkey full renovation: design, demolition, new installations, finishes and final clean, with a written schedule and a fixed itemised price.

We guide you through the licence or responsible declaration Molina de Segura's town hall requires for your scope of work, and prepare the technical documentation. We always confirm the exact procedure for your case before starting — particularly useful if you're new to Spanish building bureaucracy.

Almost always limescale: the heating element crusts over, draws more power and eventually fails or trips the RCD. If your heater is over eight years old and the water runs lukewarm, replacement usually beats repair — we'll price both options and let you decide.

On higher plots in Altorreal or La Alcayna, mains pressure can drop at peak hours. The fix is a properly sized pressure set — or servicing the one you have: most 'broken' pressure pumps just need the vessel recharged or the pressure switch replaced.

A villa classic: an outdoor junction box or garden socket taking in moisture. We find it by isolating circuits and fix it with proper sealing and outdoor-rated protection. Don't ignore it — a tripping RCD is warning you about a real earth leak.

When one bathroom blocks repeatedly, the cause is usually further down: tree roots in the plot's drains, a collapsed chamber or a run with too little fall. We inspect, show you the problem and quote the permanent repair — instead of charging you for endless unblocking visits.

Induction hobs, air conditioning, an EV charger: homes draw far more today than when they were built. If your board is old, upgrading it and splitting circuits stops the constant tripping and is the first step towards any power increase with your utility.

Every home has a main shut-off valve, usually next to the meter or in the wet room nearest the entrance. Close it and open a low tap to release pressure. In villas, shut off the automatic irrigation too — many 'house' leaks are actually in the garden.

If the RCD trips and trips again when you reset it, stop: there's a real earth leak, and every reset stresses the installation. Switch off the main breaker and unplug suspect appliances. Never touch the fuse board with wet hands or standing on a wet floor.

A photo of the fuse board, the damp patch or the leak point lets us leave base with the right materials and give you a price range before we arrive. It's the difference between solving it in one visit or two.

Don't smear miracle putty over a pressurised pipe, don't pour aggressive acids down a blockage — they make the eventual unblocking harder and damage the drains — and don't hire 'whoever turns up first' without a price up front. A clear phone quote is the best sign you're dealing with professionals.

A yearly water-heater or boiler service — drain-down, element clean, magnesium anode check — adds years to the equipment for very little money. In homes with heavy hot-water use, a softener genuinely pays for itself.

Before buying a 1960s–80s property, have the board, wiring and plumbing inspected: renewing them can cost several thousand euros you'll want reflected in the price. And to get electricity connected you'll likely need a new electrical certificate if the installation is very old.

Pump, filtration and shell-leak problems always surface at the first start-up of the season. A March or April check saves you the mid-season waiting lists and emergency prices.
