Suspect a hidden water leak in Marbella?
Ask with your observations and general area to confirm suitability, scope and availability before booking.

A careful first conversation, not a promise
A meter that keeps turning with every tap closed. A bill that jumped without a new guest or a new garden. A patch of tile that stays warm, a damp line that keeps returning, a pool that needs topping up more than last summer. These are signals worth asking about. They are not proof of a leak.
CostaTrace is an initial-enquiry entry point for homeowners, villa owners and property managers in and around Marbella. You describe what you have noticed and roughly where. Before anything is booked, we work out whether your situation fits, who would be responsible, what could realistically be done and what it would cost.
What this route covers
In scope for an enquiry
- Suspected hidden leaks on domestic water pipes within a private property
- Suspected leaks on private underground supply between the meter and the house
- Unexplained pool water loss where the vessel, private pipework or operation may be involved
Not this route
- General damp, condensation or structural waterproofing
- Public mains, meters or anything on the utility side
- Visible, accessible leaks, burst pipes, taps and toilets
- Heating-system and hot-water faults, and pool heating
Water loss has ordinary causes too
Before assuming a hidden leak, it helps to rule out the everyday explanations. Any of these can move a meter or empty a pool faster than expected:
- 01Higher consumption: guests, laundry, a new household routine
- 02Irrigation timers, a dripping emitter or a zone that runs longer than you think
- 03Evaporation, especially on windy, hot days and with water features
- 04Pool operation: backwashing, splash-out, auto-fill settings
- 05Cisterns or appliances quietly running on
How an enquiry moves
You describe
Observations, the general area, the kind of property. No name, address or photos are needed to start.
We check fit
Is this a hidden private water question, or something better handled elsewhere?
Terms are confirmed
Responsible contractor, methods, access, availability, scope, charges and deliverables, in writing, before booking.
You decide
Investigation, findings and any repair are separately agreed. Nothing is assumed.
Why a precise investigation is worth asking about
Where it suits the situation, an appropriate investigation may reduce how much of a floor, wall or garden has to be opened to find a problem. It cannot guarantee that. Access, further investigation and some opening may still be needed, and some leaks are not located in one visit or at all.
We do not promise pinpointing, no digging, no disruption, a fixed cost, a report or anything about insurance. If a provider can offer something specific for your case, that is confirmed with you directly before you commit.
112
Safety first
The shared WhatsApp number is not a duty or emergency phone.
- If water is near sockets, appliances, panels or lighting, keep clear and do not touch electrics.
- If anyone is in danger, call 112.
- Active, visible water escaping needs appropriate confirmed plumbing help, not an investigation enquiry.
- Do not drain, excavate, manipulate utility meters or open electrical panels on the basis of anything on this site.
