Frequently asked questions
Why is my water pressure low in Santa Teresa?
Usually one of three things: the community supply drops at peak hours in high season, your pressure pump or its pressure switch is failing, or the tank or filter is clogged. A pump-and-tank setup sized for the house solves most cases; we check all three in one visit (2–4 hours).
Do you handle plumbing emergencies?
Yes. Same-day visits cost 50% more on labor; within 24 hours, 25% more. Tell us on WhatsApp where to close the main valve while we're on the way.
How often should a water tank be cleaned?
Once or twice a year, and always after a long empty period or if the water smells or looks cloudy. Cleaning takes 3–6 hours depending on size and access.
