WhatsApp engagement was excellent. They diagnosed the problem remotely with my water heater but given they weren’t the best fit with the device manufacturer, they recommended a different path with the manufacturer. They were awesome to work with.

I had an urgent water leak in my garden and UrgentPlumber was an absolute lifesaver. Their response was incredibly fast, and Paul arrived exactly when he said he would. What I appreciated most was the total clarity throughout the entire process; Paul explained exactly where the issue was, how he was going to fix it, and kept me informed every step of the way.
I couldn't be happier with the service and highly recommend them to anyone needing a quick, expert solution in Lisbon! Also, this must be the world first AI- powered plumber, using it from diagnostic to report and invoicing, very impressive! 😉

***I do not usually leave reviews, but Paul and Urgent Plumber really deserve one!!*** I wish Paul had been my first call, not my fourth! The problem: We had a toilet issue that kept coming back despite 3 visits and different attempts to fix it from other plumbers. Eventually, both the toilet and shower started backing up with sewer water. The real fix: Paul brought the right technology to diagnose the problem. Down went a video camera into the drains, and he found the blockage that had been missed before.
He got it all cleared out and removed the waste material. The difference: It finally felt like someone had found the real cause of the problem instead of just treating the symptoms. True professional: Paul responded quickly, got us scheduled as soon as possible, arrived on time, and was professional and easy to work with. Everything has been working great since. I also really appreciated being able to communicate clearly in English. Excellent service and highly recommended!
Great service! Fast and professional

How it works if you don't speak Portuguese
Six things to know, from the first message to the invoice.
Message us in English
Write to us on WhatsApp at +351 21 700 9237 as you would to a friend. No plumbing words needed: just say what you see. If you'd rather talk, call +351 21 700 9773.
Send a photo or a short video
A photo of the leak, the blocked drain or the label on the water heater tells us a lot. We tell you what it looks like and what happens next.
Get a written quote in English
You get a written quote on WhatsApp, and no work starts until you approve it. It's in writing, so you can read it twice or forward it to your landlord.
The technician explains on site
Our technicians speak English. They tell you what they found, what they are going to do and, at the end, what they did.
An invoice with your NIF
Every job gets a VAT invoice with your NIF. It's a Portuguese fatura in your name, issued by Impulso de Leão, LDA.
We talk to your landlord or condominium
If the problem involves your landlord, a neighbour or the building's shared pipes, we can explain what we found to them in Portuguese.
Renting, or living in a building?
In a rented flat, tell your landlord as soon as you see a problem: many rental contracts say who pays for what. In a building, the shared pipes (the vertical column, called the prumada) belong to the condominium, and the building administration (administração do condomínio) usually handles them.
We tell you which it looks like. If your landlord, the administration or a neighbour only speaks Portuguese, we explain it to them, so nothing gets lost in translation.
What we fix
We also replace taps, mixers, valves and toilet mechanisms. Read more about each service:
Drain unclogging
Blocked sinks, toilets, showers and drains. We find out why it blocked and explain how to stop it happening again.
Leak detection
Hidden leaks found with thermal and pipe cameras. We mark the spot on a photo and open only that point.
Water heaters and boilers
Repair, replacement and installation of water heaters and boilers.
Plumbing emergencies
Burst pipes, water coming through the ceiling, an overflowing toilet: what to do now, and how we get to you.
We repair, replace and install water heaters of every kind, including gas esquentadores. Work on the gas supply itself is done by a certified gas company.
