Water Leaks in Pipes
In a place like Dubai where water is not available in abundance –naturally, wastage of water through leakage is not advisable. Most leakages occur due to faulty connections. And have to be corrected as leaks in pipes running inside walls can cause issues to walls as well. Most common leaks are- ceiling leak, bathtub leak, drain tap leaking, faucet valve leaking, water supply pipes leaking, shower leaking, toilet leaking, Kitchen fixture leaking
