Plumber in Rome

Send your request and a local plumber will contact you to discuss the job and give you a price before starting.

Rome's water is hard and rich in calcium, so limescale builds up quickly in boilers, water heaters, taps and washing machines. Many homes use a gas combi boiler (caldaia) for both heating and hot water, which needs regular servicing and periodic efficiency checks required by law. In the historic centre, Trastevere and Monti, buildings can be centuries old, with thick walls hiding pipework that is hard to reach. Leaks between floors, blocked old drains and low water pressure on upper floors are frequent issues.
