Plumber in Bur Dubai

We cover Bur Dubai, from the lanes of Al Fahidi and Meena Bazaar through Mankhool and out towards Oud Metha.

The buildings here have been repaired for forty years by whoever was available, which means the pipe material changes mid run. Copper meets galvanised steel meets PPR, sometimes within one wall. Dissimilar metals corrode where they touch, and a joint that was a compromise in 1998 becomes a leak now.

Drainage is heavier work. Many blocks still run cast iron stacks, and cast iron scales internally until the effective bore halves. Blockages settle at the junctions where a branch meets the stack, and they recur there, which is a pipe condition problem rather than a habits problem. A camera survey settles the argument in ten minutes.

We never jet a cast iron stack blind. Old pipe can be scoured or it can be split, and the difference is worth knowing beforehand.
