A toilet that keeps running
Water trickling into the pan means a worn flush valve. A new one stops the noise and the waste.
Silent leaks explained
Most plumbing calls from Fereej Bin Mahmoud start in the bathroom: a toilet that runs all night, a mixer that drips, a hose that has burst under the basin. They are small jobs, and most are finished on the first visit.
For a plumber in Bin Mahmoud, send a photo of the fitting and the name of your building to +974 6009 9680 on WhatsApp, or ring the same number.
Water trickling into the pan means a worn flush valve. A new one stops the noise and the waste.
Silent leaks explainedThe cartridge inside has worn. It is changed without replacing the whole tap in most cases.
The hose or the trigger head has split. Close its small wall valve until it is replaced.
Braided hoses fail without warning. Close the wall valve and call.
Burst pipe repairHair and soap just below the grate. Pulled out and the trap cleaned.
Drain cleaningA blocked shower head, a tired mixer or a heater that is failing.
Water heater repairUnder every basin and beside every toilet there is a small valve on the wall, called an angle valve. Turning it clockwise shuts the water to that one fixture and leaves the rest of the flat running.
When a hose bursts or a cistern overflows, that valve is quicker to reach than the main. Find each one now. Give them a quarter turn and back every few months, so they still move on the day you need them.
Bin Mahmoud sits beside Musheireb, and our plumbers also go to Al Muntazah, Fereej Abdel Aziz and Rawdat Al Khail. For sockets, lights and breakers in the same buildings, see electrician in Bin Mahmoud. The complete list of plumbing services is on the main page.
It will not flood, but it can waste hundreds of litres a day, and you pay for all of it. Close the wall valve beside the toilet when you are not using it, and have the flush valve replaced.
Yes. Check that it matches the holes in your basin or wall, as single-hole and wall-mounted mixers are not interchangeable. Send a photo of the old tap and the new box and we will confirm.
Close your wall valves or the main, stop using that bathroom and tell the watchman. The cause is usually a failed hose, an overflowing cistern or a perished seal around the shower, all quick to repair once found.
Someone has to let the plumber in and approve the written quote. That can be you, a family member, or the watchman with your agreement by phone.
The heater is too small, or scale has reduced what it can hold, or its element is failing. We test it before suggesting a replacement.
Message a photo of the problem and your building name. Small bathroom repairs are usually done the same visit.
