Emergency plumber in the Algarve

Tell us what makes the job urgent

An active leak needs a different response from a dripping tap that has stayed the same for a week. Describe whether water is still escaping, which rooms are affected and whether the problem is getting worse. Mention if the property has no working toilet or usable water supply.

For an urgent problem, call rather than relying on a message being read immediately. A 24/7 contact service does not mean a plumber is already nearby; Donovan will confirm availability for your exact location.

• Burst or leaking pipework
• Water escaping around a shower or toilet
• Blocked household drains or an overflowing fixture

Make the first call useful

Have your town, address and a contact number ready. If someone else will provide access, explain who they are and how they can be reached. A photo can help describe visible damage, but it is not a substitute for checking the fault on site.

Tell Donovan about any repair already attempted and whether the issue has happened before. This helps distinguish a new failure from a recurring problem that may need further investigation. The scope of the work can then be discussed before a visit is arranged.
